How many hours do they spend mindlessly browsing Netflix though and not actually watching anything? And is that better?

>You'll notice that I didn't say "your environmental impact will automatically be reduced to near that of a vegan diet by eating a pesco-vegetarian diet." Erm, yes, you pretty much did. We are talking in the context o

How much protein do you think you need? Everyone is sucked on to the whole protein protein protein thing like it's all that the human body needs, especially Americans. It's fucking ridiculous. Try worrying more about fiber and oth

Cost effective for who? If one day we factored in the cost of damage to the environment or the cost to the living creatures being abused in order to supply all those eggs, or the cost of the extra burden on hospitals due to all the choleste

Because most people are vegan for animals not for environment or health, so it's not that they are taking things to extremes, but rather that being responsible for only the occasional death or abuse of another animal isn't an opti

If someone is pesco-vegetarian and eating a lot of dairy, especially cheese, and fish, then their environmental footprint would be way higher than someone (a vegan) who is not eating those things. The NY times article you linked shows just

Why is it difficult? If someone is still eating eggs, dairy and fish they are not 95% of the way to being vegan. And cost? What makes you think being vegan is more expensive than eating animal products?

by uhtred 7y ago
Why not go vegan? Sure, anything is better than nothing, but a vegan diet is best of all. Plus, dairy, especially when consumed as cheese, is worse than some meat in terms of environmental impact.

We should be doing better for all other animals, there's nothing special about dogs.

So what happens to all the cats and dogs that are bred that no one buys? Some selfish person says "I want a xxx because they look cute! (And of course I'll get their nasty claws ripped out duh)" And so the breeder produces a

by uhtred 8y ago
Shame most people are so obsessed with what breed their dog is. Would lead to less dogs (and cats) in shelters and having to be euthanized if they weren't.

What! I surrender. Are people really not eating fruit because of the carbs? Oh my. It's fruit! One of the healthiest snacks you can have!

How do you get fibre then?

Oh well done you. I guess I meant the robot is not a good barista.

But please, do enlighten me as to whether a computer can determine if coffee tastes good.

Sorry I didn't word it well. I'm not suggesting the baristas are contemplating the temperature and air pressure, but rather those things will affect an espresso shot and the level of extraction, and thus the barista will need to t

I'm sorry, but pushing a button on a fully automatic espresso machine does not make the robot a barista. I'd like to see the robot make me an espresso using a semi-automatic espresso machine, making sure to sample the espresso thr

A better example is that before our cognitive revolution humans could only really cooperate in groups no larger than 100. When we developed the ability to imagine shared fictions, such as countries, money, law, religion, we gained the abili

Humans don't need heme-iron, just iron. And I can get all the iron I need from whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and vegetables.

so what happens to the male chicks that are born in the egg industry? They get killed, by gassing, suffocation or being thrown into a grinder. Why does a dairy cow produce milk? because she has a baby. Where does that baby go after birth? I

Apart from B12, what nutrients are in meat that I cannot get from a vegan diet? Why is it acceptable to be slaughtering hundreds of millions instead of billions of animals a year, if we don't need to? And we don't have to reinve

But a hyena is a carnivore. Humans are not. A hyena cannot contemplate the finality of death and probably doesn't understand much about the pain it's causing, it's just eating a meal. Humans do understand all those things and
