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).
Ban meat now
I have ARFID, if I stop eating meat I will literally starve to death

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.
Fortunately we're making fast advancements in cultured meat. You'll be able to eat chicken raw since cultured chicken doesn't require salmonella to live.

There's an inverse relationship when it comes to income and veganism. Lower income people are more likely to be vegan than high income. Additionally, POC are significantly more likely to be vegan. The image that veganism is for rich white people is a myth.
No.
We need more meat alternatives like dog and cat. There are millions of wild dogs and cats just waiting to be ate.
