The majority of vegans enjoy the meat taste and the new crop of substitutes, just not the ethical/environmental costs. Source- polled my vegan group.

The cost curve is rapidly decreasing. Within 5 years, plant-based meats cheaper and tastier than meat. The food world is about to be turned upside down (for the better)

The lifecycle analysis I've studied showed it better than animal meat on every aspect including energy, do you have a link to show otherwise?

Yes, the gardein fishless fillet has convinced several of my omnivore friends they are eating real fish. Same I've heard for the ocean hugger raw tuna sushi etc

On the plants front, know that the ratio for beef is over 20 to 1. ie a cow eats 20 calories of plants, to produce 1 calorie of meat. It's far more efficient (and less plant consumption overall) to just eat the plant calories instead

There are startups doing that, eg better meat co etc. It's a smart way to reduce costs and environmental / suffering impact.

I have no agenda other than hoping our community would become more welcoming. As context, my startup makes an app that is mostly used by women, which has helped me learn to see things from a different point of view. And I've worked wi

Was the sir really necessary? Nothing in the comment or profile indicates gender, regardless of what the reality is. And if people keep making this assumption then how do female members who statistically encounter this error far more often

Pigs are incredible intelligent. Yet even for sentient beings that aren't at the same level, that doesn't mean they should be exploited (think through the ethical consequences of that world view)

Just like the modern layer hen, which produces 2 orders of magnitude more eggs than its original wild ancestor (and all the added strain and suffering), or the modern broiler chicken which has been so evolved by humans so that it's fe

No, that myth was debunked decades ago. You can get all essential amino acids from a normal variety of plant foods, and the body combines them naturally. Or in case of some all essential amino acids are in the same plant.

What happens to males in eggs and milk? Is that (to take one example) humane?
51.
by hkyeti 8y ago
Yes exploiting animals for eggs and milk (and all the death that accompanies it) isn't moral when it's for pleasure and not for staying alive. No a plant based diet is not deadly, in fact vegans tend to live longer healthier lives

Most companies? Source for this claim that the majority of companies in our industry do this.

Agree, too often we appeal to futility to justify (subconsciously) doing nothing... there's a lot we can do, and most impacts follow a power law curve

Activism work, and the research and learning about the world to try to do it better.

Perhaps you could take a look at the this traditional Okinawan diet, which is 95% plant-based (only a tiny amount of fish). The longest lifespans on the planet (well until the western diet came along and promptly reversed that within mere d
