Agree with Mence, not the author. He comes over as arrogant. For example countering one of the stats Mence cited (Cows needing 20 times more farmland, which is true) with an argument that isn't necessarily relevant to the discussion. Mences argument is to massively reduce the amount of farmland, not make use of farmland that couldn't otherwise be used for growing crops!

Agree, though I give the article author credit for, while thinking Mence overstated his case, not extrapolating his perception of overstatement into "therefore vegans are dumb and I'm going to go get a factory farmed burger right now ha ha", which I still see all too often.

> Mance may overstate his case, but he is spot on to make us confront the horrible truth that the vast majority of us are supporting animal suffering every time we shop
