These are the corpses of vulnerable individuals who experienced cruelty, violence, and atrocity. There is nothing provided by their bodies and secretions that a human being needs to be healthy and happy that cannot be obtained more cheaply without the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable individuals.
While i agree with you, phrasing it like this is just getting the whole topic ridiculed by anyone who doesn’t already agree with you anyway…
Please enlighten me on what makes this statement easy to ridicule? All they have said is these individuals deserve respect and we shoukd find proper alternatives elsewhere.
I think you should bemoan the people who ridicule rather than people asking for liberation of individuals.
But how would we know if that poster’s a vegan if they didn’t lecture us?
Someone who rejects the content because they don’t like the form is an idiot. Unfortunately, all of us are idiots like that.
The real sticking point is that if they agree out loud then they have to stop eating meat or be a hypocritical, and they won’t accept either.
Where is the lecture?
You seem so personally attacked by someone responding to an article with facts of individuals suffering and suggesting we deviate.
Trump is trying to take your hamburgers away.
And suddenly MAGA was vegan because it’s “patriotic” or something…
This may surprise you, but a lot of far/right people are vegan, and into permaculture, recycling, etc.
They are not vegan. They are into permaculture because they’re in a “manly man make money women stay home” cult and they can’t afford to have 5 kids and a stay at home wife on husband’s paycheck.
Those who have the room usually raise chickens at least, there’s centrally not a large intersection of vegans and far right people.
You put a 50% tariff on Brazil, your biggest exporter of meat, and you wonder why prices soar… Fucking dumbasses.
Lol, New Zealand imports more beef to the US than Brazil. Brazil is #5 at less than 10%.
MAYBE if we give Producers LESS Regulations and Competition they’ll DROP Prices?
-Donald Trump and ALSO Democrats!
Dear leader promised to lower grocery prices on day one so they must be low, right? Don’t believe your eyes, just believe in the plan they say.
Any reduction in beef consumption is a win for the environment. I hope beef becomes completely unaffordable.
Edit: Instead of down voting, maybe do a cursory investigation into some of the top causes of climate change. It ain’t bean sprouts causing it.
if production doesn’t decrease, the environment won’t notice.
What happens when demand decreases?
advertising increases or prices drop or new markets are opened
Surely a store with no customers will still exist! Love this argument and how solid the logic is. Follow your little thought experiment farther than just a few steps.
Yeah, and unlike gas prices going up there are readily available alternatives people can switch to easily with little cost.
People are too emotionally invested in meat. They’d rather die in record high temperatures than go without or even reduce.
And I’m literally only talking about beef. Chicken may be atrocious from a cruelty perspective but it has a negligible environmental impact compared to beef. People who are emotionally invested in eating beef don’t see that they have the exact same mentality as anti-maskers did during the pandemic: doing this helps the entire human race and prevents the suffering of millions of people, but I refuse to even consider any change in my behavior because it makes me temporarily uncomfortable.
How can someone demand action from others against something like rising fascism when they won’t even change their lunch habits?
Good for the environment:]
Great time for people to go vegan if they aren’t already
It’s the year of veganism (and Linux) in your household.
People will just switch to chicken, pork, or add “meat free Friday” to their menus. Consumers are fed up at this point and aren’t going to pay some of these prices.
I am a vegetarian, however my dog is not. She has multiple allergies (chicken, and all grains) and I have to cook her food for her. It is getting really expensive to feed her.
Look into rabbit or kangaroo, depending on where you’re located they could be reasonably priced vs beef. Pets with common protein allergies usually don’t have reactions to those, or venison for that matter.
Source: one of our cats is allergic to basically all poultry, we switched to rabbit and salmon based foods
Look into rabbit or kangaroo
Interesting how things that hop don’t have the triggering protein. Now I wonder how frog and crickets would compare…
Lmao. Seriously though it’s exposure; beef, chicken and pork are the cheapest and most common animal proteins available to pet food manufacturers so they’re in just about everything. If for some reason the animal has an immune response and those proteins are present at the time the immune system can decide that they’re the cause and the animal then develops an allergy or sensitivity to them. With limited ingredient or single protein foods you’re just dodging the proteins most pets are pre-exposed to and feeding them one that doesn’t cause their immune system to think they’re under attack.
One of our cats is so allergic to poultry (chicken, eggs, etc) that he’ll scratch and chew himself bloody if he eats it consistently. We had to switch to rabbit and fish based foods or he was an unhappy creature. Just giving him a cat treat with chicken as an ingredient has him scratching his neck immediately and he’ll have a couple of fresh scabs by the next morning.
Retail beef prices are soaring, but I can tell you from the other end, auction sale prices of market weight steers sure as fuck hasn’t gone up that much.
Lot of squeezing happening in the middle somewhere. Curious, that one.
We noticed this when we went to a Texas Roadhouse. Their restaurant prices for steaks hadn’t gone up hardly at all and seemed very surprisingly reasonable, whole beef at the grocer is painful.
Beef is delicious and nutritionally dense. But $20-$30 per pound is what just regular-ass steak costs in NYC, so pork it is.
99c/lb butts and shoulders all summer. It’s been great.
