Over 70% of Soy Fed to Animals:
https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/coexistence-soybeans-factsheet.pdf
According to the USDA, “Just over 70 percent of the soybeans grown in the United States are used for animal feed, with poultry being the number one livestock sector consuming soybeans, followed by hogs, dairy, beef and aquaculture.”
40% of corn fed to animals, only 10% of corn consumed directly by humans

Only 36 Million Deer in the United States.

If everyone ate roughly 4 pounds of deer flesh (2,860 calories) in one day, the entire US population of deer would be wiped out.

Average buck and doe weight, factor in fawns

One hunting website says 58 pounds is the average field dressing for a murdered buck, so less for does and fawns. Used 340 million US population for calculations.

I just love how people make all these statements as if they’re facts when they obviously haven’t done the research.
Thanks for the links.
this was great 8-minute chat
"Sir, when you're hungry and you look in your kitchen and see your dog sitting beside your tomato plant… Do you know the difference between them?… Do you understand the difference between your dog and your tomato plant?"
He jumps to a different topic just as you try to get him to elaborate on one. Re-straighten the conversation.
If hes driving on the road and a dog jumps in front, but avoiding the dog he would run over a tomato plant , would it be the more ethical thing to run over the tomato plant than the dog?
U gave this guy way to much respect.
Why r u explaining there’s a difference between protecting property and murder
"just a regular dad trying not to raise kids who have empathy and can think for themselves" I bet the same people that conduct the studies this guy doesn't believe in, could conduct studies that show without a doubt that this guy is an idiot.
Your interlocutor isn’t aware of some basic facts and scientific consensus or just denies them due to bias. Lots of deflection and what about isms being employed…
✊🏼💯✊🏼🙏
Where's the fat vegan? I just see a prime specimen of humanity, inside and out. Articulate, informed, intelligent, an actual Chad in the flesh, give em hell Colburn!
I like how chill you are. It is okay to put the message out there even if this man refuses not to murder.
Hank Hill 🤣
If this ever happened again Col, I would be really pleased if you could try to remember about how the conversation went and maybe provide subtitles.
Probably a lot of work but I do find your discussions very Illuminating.
Well done good sir.
Great video, spreading veganism. Thankyou. 👏👏👏
Didn't understand much after audio went out. I appreciate your calm demeanor. This guy was annoying af. He lost me at the plants tho
