LET THERE BE BREAD!
We humans have no need to consume any animal derived products either for food or any other reason and there is no valid reason.

This article is not exhaustive or definitive, but ment as an introduction for our understanding of the food available in plant form on earth.
We know from reliable sources the world of humans can be fed from plants, including plant-based protein and keeping in mind "food security" which Ireland lacks due to succcessive FF and FG government promotion of animal agriculture, Ireland is shamefully not food secure.

Scientists estimate there are at least 7,000 to over 30,000 edible plant species on Earth, though formal recorded databases like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew document around 7,000 to 7,000+ useful/edible species, while broader estimates range up to tens of thousands depending on the definition of "edible."

Key Facts About Edible Plants.
Total Plant Species: Scientists estimate there are over 350,000 to 400,000 total plant species on Earth.
Edible Range: Between 7,000 and 30,000+ species are safe or known to be edible for humans.

What We Actually Eat: Humans regularly consume only about 200 plant species globally.
The Main Staples: Just three crops—maize (corn), rice, and wheat—provide more than half of the world's plant-based calories and proteins.
A mere 12 plant species make up 75% of our global food supply.

So why is this? The supply chain is dominated by a few big companies and our interest and understanding of plants to sustain the total population of the world needs to be expanded to include food security in a world of escalating man made climate crisis and advocate for a fast and fair transition from animal agriculture to Veganic Growing for human consumption in a more proactive way.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security.

Its Latin motto, fiat panis, translates to "let there be bread". It was founded on 16 October 1945 in Quebec City, Canada.

In 1896, Leo Tolstoy wrote to philosopher Eugen Heinrich Schmitt about moral responsibility, and the ways people justify participating in things they already recognize as wrong.

To make his point, Tolstoy turned to vegetarianism.

A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food,” he wrote. If someone eats meat anyway, Tolstoy argued, that person still participates in taking an animal’s life, even if someone else does the killing.

Then comes perhaps the most interesting part.

Tolstoy said people could recognize the argument as reasonable and still carry on as before. His example was almost comically familiar: someone might agree with the reasoning, then essentially respond that beefsteak tastes good and they still intend to eat it.

That was the larger point he was making.

Sometimes the barrier isn’t that we haven’t heard the argument.

It’s habit. It’s social acceptance. It’s liking what we’re accustomed to.

And this wasn’t an isolated comment from Tolstoy. In The First Step, his major essay on vegetarianism, he argued directly that eating animals was immoral because it required killing for the sake of appetite.

This quote is about 130 years old.

The argument behind it could have been written today.

More than a century later, the language has changed.

The ethical question really hasn’t.
