Heavily-subsidized dairy takes up multiple grocery store aisles: crickets Vegan cheese simply appears: "we've been INFILTRATED"

  Exactly. On the topic of grocery store real estate. It blows my mind how much space meat products take up. Huge shelves of beef, pork, chicken in all forms and stages of processing. It's crazy to me the degree of reliance and attachment to animal products we've been coerced into.

    Aren't humans omnivores? I don't think we've been coerced into animal consumption so much as that is the default state (if available).

      We sure are. But there is no reason to keep eating meat other than personal preference. We don't have to eat meat and given the environmental impact, maybe we shouldn't anymore. Sure things taste different but who cares, we've enjoyed the privilege for a long time, so let's move on. What I mean is that there is huge amounts of money out there working hard on preventing us to move on through commercials and lobbying, things like that. Recently, right wing conservatism even started using meat consumption as a signal to show that you're not a liberal.

    You have canines. We're evolved to eat meat.
