    This particular video seemed more like an educated opinion piece rather than a proper presentation of scientific facts. The usual Kurzgesagt video presents science in an accessible and fun manner (I think this is the explanation for problem 7: they didn’t want to be too dark.). This video, however, was just full of estimates.

    This approach isn’t necessarily wrong. This video seemed like an attempt to highlight some of the injustices of the meat industry, and encourage people to reduce their meat consumption. I think that this is a noble goal.

    Obviously, I’d prefer everyone to fully go vegan, but many people don’t want to do that. I’m fine with 50M people cutting their meat consumption in half rather than 5M people quitting meat.
