Yes, so does meat eating. Nobody said anything about metaphysics, but whether something is wasteful is a normative question.


There is research demonstrating that the lowest-impact meat produces significantly more greenhouse gas than the worst, highest-impact vegetable. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaq0216

If you're arguing that excess greenhouse gas emissions is not a waste product, then it seems like you're either embracing climate change or you know something about greenhouse gasses that nobody else knows.

Yes, that is my point.

> either embracing climate change

I'm making the very basic claim that all of these are based on normative facts, not metaphysics.
