We need not have grandstanders in the comments, I eat meat products almost every day. This made me chuckle, because it’s actually funny.
You should watch Dominion and double check if suffering in another is funny.
While it may seem dated now (2005), I prefer Earthlings. No need to watch both, they cover roughly the same topics.
vegan btw
you should give a trigger warning when you link gore
Works for hot peppers. The worse you treat them while growing; the hotter, angrier and tastier they get.
Certain vegetables like leeks get buried as they sprout to make the “shoot” part as long as possible.
Rhubarb is grown in near complete darkness, and it screams as it grows towards a light it’ll never reach
Where does the rhubarb get energy then? Does it just rely on stored energy in the seed or roots or something and get given light eventually, or can it actually use tiny amounts of light?
The plant has an energy reserve underground that is allowed to build up for a year or two before starting to harvest.
If you are doing it sustainably, you can harvest the shoots until they start showing signs of undernourishment, then you stop harvesting and let it build energy back up.
Forcing the rhubarb is an option for the shoots you plan on eating, they grow faster and sweeter than if they grow naturally

Not a botanist, but I’m pretty sure that’s why rhubarb is so sweet. Those energy reserves are mostly sugar, so maximizing the energy reserves maximizes the sweetness, like you note below.
Yeah the rhubarb that people grow in their own gardens without a rhubarb torture cellar is way more sour than store-bought, in my experience.
So wait, are they treating the workers horribly, or… Oh, it’s an Onion article.
If it helps, in Argentina they are deforesting large swathes of land and pushing previous owners out at gunpoint just to plant more soy. That’s not an Onion article.
It’s worth noting 77% of the world’s soy goes to animal feed. Only 5% of soy goes to soy bean products like tofu, soy milk, etc.
Then, 90% of that feed gets used by the animals to walk around, fart, and generally stay alive until they get slaughtered. Essentially, 70% of the soy crops gets wasted on breeding animals to suffer.
People who genuinely think plant based diets are cruelty free and environmentally friendly don’t know anything about modern agriculture.
You should assume that any consumption, if not proven otherwise, is not cruelty free and environmentally friendly. The most moral thing to do is to consume less, I guess.
This is going to trigger so many broflakes who have made eating meat their whole personality.
And before anybody starts screeching, I’m not even a vegan. I do mostly make vegan food at home, but you can pry my cheese out of my cold, dead hands, and I also occasionally eat fish or meat.

You OK there buddy?
I’m just cheeseposting.
