Original Title: TIL A restaurant in Long Beach, CA, was found to be serving Popeye’s chicken and passing it off as their own. They would buy the chicken at Popeyes and upcharge for their own chicken and waffles dish. Once found out the owner refused to apologize.
Sustainable, and regenerative farming for the food supply is a cause I can get behind.
Locally sourced food is good for food independence and famine resistance. I’m on board.
I found this talk on sustainable ruminant agriculture fascination https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRmwobXCc4c
One of the biggest things we could change, is moving away from grain fed animals. Which frees up the fields making the grain, the fertilizer for the grain… get the animals back to eating pasture/grass. A cow can produce 5kg of mild solids (protein!!!) per day, just eating grass (which no human can eat anyway)… Animals eating their natural diet are much more sustainable for the planet.
You are not going to have a productive discussion with a militant vegan.
I doubt they are militant
In this sense:
militant (adjective): combative and aggressive in support of a political or social cause, and typically favoring extreme, violent, or confrontational methods
True, but they only expressed their dislike of meat in terms of sustainability.
It is possible to be healthy while vegan, about 20% of India is vegetarian. So 200m people. I’m sure some of them are doing ok.
I think, however, it’s very difficult to do. Saying nobody should eat meat is a undefendable position (how many vegans have cats? Cats are obligate carnivores)
You are reading way too much into what I wrote.
I don’t disagree with the ideas, I disagree with the self-righteousness and arrogance. Which seems to be extremely common among vegans.
The same can be said about feminists and abolitionists.
Now there’s an utterly meaningless statement.
So the “self-righteousness and arrogance” was entirely projection.
Edit: You didn’t like the comparison because it made you realize your own hypocrisy.
abolitionists and feminists fight against comparing slaves and women to animals.
Speciesism fuels racism and sexism.
