Didn't look flippant to me, it was a very direct response to the other person saying we should eat what cows eat instead.
I guess it could be seen that way to someone who doesn't know cows mostly eat grass?
- 2024throwaway 3y agoThe original comment specifically mentioned soy and edamame. The reply only mentioned grass. HN guidelines say: Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
