EDIT, with a relevant source for context:

Since 1940, an estimated 50% of zoonotic disease emergence has been associated with agriculture (1–3). This estimate, however, is necessarily conservative because only direct agricultural drivers are considered in the epidemiological literature, i.e., within the farm gat

The intensification of animal agriculture through confinement and industrialization has directly led to the emergence of viruses including Nipah and H5N1 influenza (“swine flu”) (18) and antibiotic-resistant infectious bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (19, 20).

I have ARFID, if I stop eating meat I will literally starve to death

I also have ARFID. But basic morality lead to me becoming vegetarian when I was 10.

For me, meal replacements such as Soylent (used to be Ensure before I became vegan) are a big part of my diet. I've always had an easier time with liquids than solids.

Too bad, a random jackass online says you need to die /s
