I became a vegan 15 years ago because I couldn't morally justify the unnecessary raising and killing other individuals. You may not agree, but writing that decision off as "trendy" is more than a bit condescending. Every stud

Sorry, I'm not following what you were trying to do there. Are you trying to bring this back around to human population growth?

Referring to a "lifetime committ[m]ent to what is seen as a positive relationship" as a fairy tale is pretty ridiculous.

That would certainly be a potential solution for the environmental issues. I still don't find it to be ethical for the individuals being farmed.

Ah yes. The well-known environmental impact of rectangular shaped foodstuffs. Seriously, this amounts to nothing more than a Naturalistic Fallacy.

There is no way to satisfy the growing demand for meat in a way that is not damaging to the environment. And that's leaving aside any questions of ethics for the animals themselves.

Are you implying that children that are weaned shouldn't have non-dairy milk substitutes?

Paying for the externalities and eliminating subsidies would go a long way.

Very disappointing. I'm not at all clear on the concern over semantics except in the case of lobbying groups and large companies on the animal ag side.

You criticize his post for only include some of the background information, yet yours includes none of it. If you're willing to call out the former for being misleading, what of the latter?

Thanks for providing all of that background information! I was skeptical of the parent comment's claims - particularly how overly simplistic they were. But as someone on the other side of the world, I can't easily know how unreali

I don't. And "just raise your own" is obviously not a viable option for the overwhelming majority of people.

I would strongly disagree that any commercial operation - regardless of its labeling - could be called cruelty free. That leaves neighbors with backyard hens, which will never be enough cover any significant portion of egg consumption.

Pointing out bias and lying are ad hominmem attacks now? Almost every one of the videos posted to Ngo's twitter are accompanied by his own commentary so I'm not sure how you could claim otherwise. And even if they weren't, I

Andy Ngo is completely and utterly full of shit. He spent much of 2019 working with Far Right groups like Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys crafting narratives to demonize left-wing groups. He is on video discussing an upcoming brawl with P

Oh I see you were the original commenter as well. Are you disputing the idea that you tried to use the actions of a specific wild animal to justify our treatment of animals? I mean, I get it. It's a really common tactic. I'm just

It pertains pretty specifically to the comment I replied to. I'm not sure how that's not clear?

That's exactly where most veal comes from - the male offspring of dairy cows.
