The give pair
Gives ammo
Over 80 billion land animals are killed every year for food, which is clearly unsustainable.

The round they fire back
Demands sources, nitpicks data, claims 'that's not true in my country', or opens endless science debate.
How to fix it
Keep it simple. This is a matter of justice, not statistics. If health comes up: if protein were not an issue, would you live vegan from now on?
