Then we have more tacit issues where the underlying ideology is Malthusian - if death causing policy could be justified under energy rules and low-impact agricultural regulations etc, which isn't unlikely considering current trends. Since the die off is therefore indirect we can't really pin it on Malthusian cruelty, and people won't because they tend not to notice underlying ideological causes.
Thus, the Malthusian drive will not be detected, but I don't think for a minute that education, reproductive policy and other positive things will be the limit of the endeavour. They'll be crass and heavy handed anxiously screaming about a crisis and so forth - and veganism will probably be part of it since it's so conducive to virtue signaling.
Anyway, not entirely off topic, but it's a bit fringe, and all to say the narrative of vegans saving the world is a virtue based grand delusion, though not in itself a madness that I hate, and it's not for me to advise people nor even suggest there is one way of eating works. I just say what's true according to what we know so far in science, and understand there are many different ways for a human to eat and thrive. It depends on everything the individual is, and the social, economic, cultural conditions and so on. Food is part of everything.
