Graphic compares Earth's mammals by total biomass. The mass of all humans occupies almost half of the space, and domesticated animals, mostly cattle, take up nearly all of the remaining space. Wild marine mammals, mostly whales, occupy a very small portion, and wild terrestrial mammals, only about half that amount.

This, for anyone who tries to argue that human overpopulation is not really a problem, out of misguided political correctness or tech-optimism or whatever.

Also, animal agriculture. Since everyone's not going to become vegan, can we at least promote the dietary fact that eating animal products sparingly is better for our health and get rid of these stupid carnivore fad diets?

@fionag11 Eating much less meat than common in extractive countries, also important is raising them regeneratively. Sylvopasture systems sequester carbon, produce less harm overall, provide better quality lives for the animals and healthier meat for those who eat them. And if one chooses to eat meat, eat nose to tail. Utilize the whole animal.
