Great time for people to go vegan if they aren’t already
Beans are hella cheap!
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.
It’s the year of veganism (and Linux) in your household.
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?
Where is the lecture?
You seem so personally attacked by someone responding to an article with facts of individuals suffering and suggesting we deviate.
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.
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.
Trump is trying to take your hamburgers away.
You put a 50% tariff on Brazil, your biggest exporter of meat, and you wonder why prices soar… Fucking dumbasses.
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.
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?
Yeah, and unlike gas prices going up there are readily available alternatives people can switch to easily with little cost.
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.
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.
