![]() Here's the reason why, in a quote from said video: I will stand behind my view that the meat video doesn't meet the standards they are claiming in their trust video. And that's a shame, because when combined with the misleading information it really undermines the legitimate reasons why one should limit their meat consumption! The section of the video using these sources loses any sense of impartiality because they begin to argue for a specific moral viewpoint. I would consider those sources to be biased. ![]() About a quarter of the sources (not including the extra reading section) were from animal rights organizations. It's funny you mention sources, because after re-watching this video I checked the sources for the meat video. Perhaps doubling down was too strong a phrase, but they (very quickly, as part of a list) did say that they are sticking behind it's conclusion. We already produce more than enough food to feed the world - the problem is that we aren't 100% good at ensuring everyone has access to it. They later state the world could feed billions more people if we stopped producing meat, but that's not even a real argument. Water used by livestock doesn't just disappear, it gets recycled. But that isn't an argument to stop eating meat - it's an argument to stop producing meat in areas with local freshwater shortages. One of the more specific arguments they use is how livestock requires much more water than plants. Their video on meat is a perfect example. I have also noticed that they sometimes use scientific findings to support their narrative, but are actually part of a much more complicated argument. It's largely because the animation is distracting and the even tone the narrator speaks in makes it difficult to tell which words are important. I find it difficult to get meaningful information from their videos. I can't speak for but from the few Kurzgesagt videos I've seen have been off in a way I can't quite describe.
