Good. There should be a tick making people allergic to any meat. Would help people finally get over themselves and be vegan.

Legumes, beans, veggies are always more affordable than meat. Cheap meat is generally considered to be bad for your health - at least in Europe, probably the same over in the US. Beans, rice, some veggies as a garnish go a long way, are super healthy and balanced, and are cheap to boot.

It really isn’t about privilege. It’s just about having your priorities straight. If you don’t care about animal welfare, well fine - no point in trying to force something on you because it’s usually a lost cause anyway. But people going about their day claiming they’re “animal lovers” and could never hurt an animal but then being omnis or vegetarians are just straight up hypocrites.

Change is hard. Being told you’re wrong about something or doing something immoral that you’ve grown up being told is fine is hard. But some people just need to be faced with the cruel, abusive, torturous, deadly reality that is animal AG. They won’t know the truth any other way.

You do you, dude. There’s a bunch of vegan lifters who easily manage 3000cal a day and disprove your theory. I’m sure they’re not spending a fortune on food.

If I can manage a vegan diet with a minimum wage job with 20h/week (800-1000€ per month), I’m pretty sure you should too. But again, I don’t live in the US and don’t know the prices over there.

I have a buddy doing his Master’s in Arizona, moved from Ghana, who manages fine with veganism. Might be state-dependent, I guess.

Unless the subject is being brought up, nothing’s gonna change at all. Food has become such a taboo subject that it’s just not being talked about especially if it involves uncomfortable truths like animal AG.

Change doesn’t happen on its own. It needs momentum, it needs people talking about it, it needs people arguing about the pros and cons. Jack’s gonna change if we don’t talk about it and participate in discussions and arguments.

If even one person rethinks their actions upon reading one of my comments, I’m content. But shushing people and not letting them even mention the subject at all is stupid imo. And sometimes it needs some convincing from our side to get the message across.

I’m not telling anyone what to do. I’m not guilt tripping anyone. I’m just stating facts that anyone who consumes animal products should know of. It’s up to you make it happen.

Considering the state of the world and its impending doom in light of the climate catastrophe, the least we can do is go vegan. It’s what takes the least amount of politics to make at least somewhat of an impact. Economies of scale, supply and demand and what not. But sure - “no pressure”.

Thanks for chiming in. Appreciate it.
