Feel free to elaborate. Why is it that carnivores have short intestines, teeth for gripping into and tearing flesh, and don't die of colon cancer? We have long intestines for lengthier breakdown of plant fibers. Not so dead animals c

They don't necessarily cause obesity, but they sure don't help. I lost tons of body fat when I stopped eating meat and dairy/eggs. Literally the only thing that changed was I ate more fiber and less fat. And of course removin

Please explain how it is efficient to feed anywhere from 5-12 units of calories to an animal, to get out 1 unit of calories. Running plant food through an animal does nothing to increase it's value, and all you're adding to it is

My point is, what is society supposed to do about it? I can't afford to live three towns over where it's nicer. I'd need about another $3K a month. Could you spot me on that, permanently?

If there's no "slippery slope", then why do 3-4 companies control the entire internet today, when a decade or more ago there were 15-20 players? Go even further back and you had a myriad of choices; now Amazon, Facebook and G

We are biologically herbivores, and we are built to process plants (jaw moves side to side and we have long intestinal tracts, the exact opposite case applies to carnivores). We don't "eat dirt" because we are built to eat pl

What? How can meat possibly be more efficient for nutrients? Where do you think the animals get the nutrients in the first place? Everything originates from plants.

Prior to the 7 Black I would have agreed with your original comment. For a few years, each iteration was essentially "we can record bigger and with higher fps. Also the battery life is a little bit better". 7 Black changed my mind

This is how it begins. Then as three or four companies gradually consume all smaller services (which is happening and has been happening for years), you need to sell your soul to them to view anything. My advice is to just say "no than

Sounds about right. Like everything in the US, some group is trying to figure out a way to siphon money from those to earn to those who “need it more”. I don’t care to support this, I want all the money I make, thank you very much. I’ll dec

Oh, we very much are, but it's not the coronovirus. The next pandemic? That might be worse. But rising ocean levels are pretty bad.

Completely and utterly false. Zoonotic diseases have been spreading heavily over the past few decades precisely in close proximity (factory) farming, and will continue to spread in the future in the horrible conditions we keep stressed out,

I have a cellular Apple Watch! But Apple doesn't let Spotify sync music to it (or stream via the CELLULAR), so I can't listen to anything unless I'm near my phone. Imagine my surprise when I got an Apple Watch with cellular s

The PSP did fairly well. The Vita on the other hand, I maintain it was the high cost of the proprietary memory cards (combined with the high price tag of $250 for the console upon launch) that sealed its fate. They should have been giving t

Never thought I’d see Dr Gregor on HN! This is an amazing presentation. Humans never learn though and so we’ll be back to our old ways, blaming others and going “back to regular life,” when it’s regular life they got us to this pandemic in

Care to elaborate what's inefficient in your current situation? Ex. what your setup is at home, whether you have 12 kids all screaming 24/7 (hah), what situation is causing you ire?

Depends. Do you want pandemics to keep happening? If you don't, then yes, animal farms in general need to be shut down. But they won't, because the world is addicted to eating meat, and pandemics will keep happening. Speaking of w

Your phrasing suggests that it's very obvious, yet you are blaming salads as the real public crisis in an earlier comment. Fact is, breeding animals and raising them for food is going to keep resulting in pandemics. Like the one that w

Sorry, but this is absolutely absurd to claim. Are you actually suggesting that keeping animals in cramped, filthy conditions, surrounded by dead baby animals covered in feces (ex. pigs in farrowing crates), is less likely to facilitate di

100% agreed here, I am very hopeful that lab-grown meat will become the norm (when it gets affordable), and that as older generations die off and more environmentally and health conscious younger people make decisions, the average consumer
