veganism will never "catch on". 99.999% of humanity eats what they can get, within their cultural preferences and admonitions. very few people truly modify their diet towards a rational goal, and even fewer adopt strict religious/ethical/ideological guidelines that voluntarily limit their diets in significant ways. people dont eat by prescription. we will simply move towards more plant based eating like our ancestors had to when meat was scarce. we will implement more ethical slaughter. we will save water, and food, and energy. we will not ever bend to the vegan mullahs

Vegans are so fucking retarded that they don't even realize that they're actually against western capitalism and not "the meat industry" or whatever buggaboo bullshit they came up with.

The american meat industry is fucked sure, but the rest of the world doesn't follow the same food regulation at all. Every factory farm doing the bad shit vegans report on can all be traced back to like, 4 LLCs. And those LLCs own everything nice about society. So yeah you can stop eating meat, but that just means those LLCs will find another way into your pockets and another way to exploit cheap resources and labor which will eventually fuck up the enviroment just as quickly.

For me, it's a money issue. I go out and hunt for most of my meat source. My hunting permit is about 30 dollars a year, deer tag is about 20, and fishing/ shellfish license is about 20. Along with various other tags, I only spend about 150-200 a year on hunting, and this provides for most of my meat. If I get my wife and son a deer tag too, this easily triples our meat.
If I were to try this same principle on vegetables, id have to own a huge area of land that is capable of sustaining a diversity of fruit and veggies. Then there's the cost of watering these crops, and finding a way to process these veggies into meat-like food, because that's apparently something vegans need to do. It's just not worth it.

So you're admitting it's just a high and mighty thing. It's acceptable that these farms kill billions of animals in the name of your veggie burger because you haven't done enough research to know that it seriously doesn't have to be that way if food companies invested money in better green houses that didn't require the use of tilling machines that kill millions of animals or better storage to keep pests out so there is no need to kill them.

You know what happens if ranger chicken realizes they don't have a profit with chicken? They start paying foreign labor even less to work longer hours in order to produce vegetables and fruit instead. But you don't care about people. See that's the problem is the second you're faced with the reality that people will suffer at the hands of corrupt companies, you shrug and go "lol whatever at least it's not a cow so it's not a cute animal to post on facebook so idgaf."

>>11205547
Being this retarded is probably a side effect of improper nutrition. Most people being exploited by huge megaconglomerates don't have a choice. Those companies roll in, destroy all other sources of income by being bigger, more effecient, and cheaper, and force the hands of the people in the country to comply or starve. So basically what you're saying is that you care more about chickens and cows than you do black and brown people. I mean I know vegans are almost all racist white people and I'm on 4chan so what did I expect, but still, you're admitting that those lives don't matter because it doesn't earn you neato hipster points.

Communism cannot work. It's not an evolutionary stable strategy. It will either succumb to apathy, or devolve into either feudalism or totalitarianism.

Communism is a system where there is no currency and no government involvement in economics. People work to their ability and take what they need. This system is vulnerable to freeloaders and a lack of motivation to do jobs at the lower and upper margins of the job market. This will eventually collapse the system. If the government forces people to work or to pursue certain careers, that's not communism anymore. That's fascism. If a group of people decide to forcibly amass wealth and power, you get feudalism. Communism only works in small populations with strong social ties. Anything larger than a small village and it will collapse. And again, these small communities are vulnerable to conquest by a community that decided feudalism would work out better for them.

All I'm saying I that if you find it morally reprehensible to eat meat, you wouldn't shape your vegetable paste into the exact shape and texture of that dead animal.

Sorry, I thought it was a safe assumption that everyone was against murder. I should be more aware of where I am. Nevertheless, don't let your non-stance toward murder stop you from taking my point.

What's morally reprehensible about eating meat is the killing of animals that was required to produce it. Killing animals when it isn't necessary is morally reprehensible, just like it's morally reprehensible (to most of us) when people are killed unnecessarily. Mock meat isn't a real animal that was killed. Video game NPCs aren't real murder victims. So what's the harm? There isn't any.

How did possibly understand my comment as being an admission that "it's just a high and mighty thing"? You seem to want to believe that vegans are fine with animals being killed in the production of fruits and vegetables. Of course we know it doesn't conceivably have to be that way, don't patronize me, we are the only ones who want something to be done about it. But we don't expect everyone to starve on principle waiting around for 100% harm-free agricultural practices.

Demanding that vegans perfectly adhere to the most idealistically feasible version of their philosophy or else abandon all claims to ethical rightness is maybe the most common maneuver made by non-vegans to deflect moral scrutiny. Accusing vegans of being misanthropic is also right up there. It's all just a way of attacking the messengers and not the message.

I used to think morality was bullshit. But if you treat morality as the real and potential positive or negative experiences of conscious minds (non-human animals included), it makes sense as one of those minds, that we should want to all move to more positive states of being and away from negative ones.

Living an ethical life is better than a hedonistic one because it is better for everyone. But I don't think that it's always a zero-sum contest between being happy and being ethical. For most of us, some of our happiness is based on the happiness of others. Subjectively speaking you might think you'd be happier living only for yourself but that wouldn't be the case if everyone else did too.

Read The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris if you're interested in a theory of how morality can be objective without being religiously oriented.

Muhammara is just fucking roast bell peppers chucked in a food processor with walnuts, garlic, bread crumbs, salt, cumin, chili flakes, lemon juice, EVOO, and grenadine. It's 5 minutes of work and uses ingredients commonly found in a supermarket. Sensible enough for you?

I know this is bait, but how is my palate "kindergarten" when I enjoy exotic spices, a variety of meats, fruits, and vegetables, hard and soft cheeses of different age, some with blue or white fungus, or a washed rind, offal, and various other fermented foods?

I just have never enjoyed the spongy texture and lack of flavour of meat substitutes like tofu or seitan. The only soy product I enjoy is soy sauce, which I consume sparingly. There is nothing that to me would justify any real or imaginded risks associated with using soy as a staple protein source.

That "certified real cheese stamp?" thats fucking grade a government propaganda. They waste more dairy and meat than people consume too AND its STILL subsidized. AND EVEN MORE HILARIOUS is that a great portion of meat is now exported because US subsidized meat is too pricy by volume for food processing into products. The government needs to stop subsidizing these fuckers. It'll greatly reduce the cost as well improve the product since less will be wasted and more small business will beable to compete again.

Lol that creates jobs but really it's actually just typical rain systems and the news hyping up category 1 hurricanes to Harvey or Katrina levels for ratings. Also we are able to track storms better and sooner now then ever before in the history of mankind. Ask any sailor storms out at sea are always pretty strong we can see the ones headed towards land now before they lose power and look intimidating if they touch down with such intense force but as they move they loose alot of wind speed

Shots are nowhere near efficient. Think about how much resources and energy are required to refine the nutrients and formulate the supplements in the first place.

Small scale, local, farms that raise mostly crops and a small number of animals are even better. They can run in a closed loop requiring no outside fertilizer or feed. That's far better than agriculture alone which is dependant on petroleum-derived fertilizers and pesticides.

It means that this eruption, while pretty average in size, still emitted an absurdly huge amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, dozens of times more than what humans have emitted since the industrial revolution.

Sounds like you don't know shit about small-scale farming then. The two go hand-in-hand. You grow crops and a small number of animals. The animals eat the parts of the crops which humans cannot (i.e. you grow turnips. You eat the roots, the pigs and cows get the greens). And on the other side, the animal manure is used to fertilize the farm fields. This is how humans lived until the industrial revolution. It is by far the most efficient method, and the one which causes the least enviornmental harm. 100% nature. No chemical-plant fertilizers to run off and kill fish. No chemical-laden animal feed. Just the circle of life.

The thing is that you don't need to stop meat production. You also don't want to stop it. The idea is to maintain the correct ratio between meat and crops so that you aren't dependent on chemical fertilizers for your crops which are an enviornmental disaster in and out of themselves.

A low-meat mostly-crop system is far more enviornmenally friendly system than a no-meat all-crop one.

>>11207132
Your "Guess" is missing the point. Meat needs to be everywhere, because those animals are key to farming efficiently. Everybody would be eating meat, just small amounts and infrequently.

>>economical counter-incentives
What? That method is the most economical because there are no industrial fertilizer costs

But not the enviornmental harm. Isnt't that the whole goal? To discuss what diet causes the least harm to the planet?

A low-meat mostly-crop system based on traditional agriculture causes less enviornmental harm than an all-crop one dependant on industrial fertilizer. That's my point. By "Efficiency" I mean which system optimizes food output vs. harm, not food output vs. the dollar.

Why do carnies have to false flag constantly? You can find out what it is from a quick Google search, and after talking to the RSPCA (and the an board) they said to kill it instead of letting it starve for weeks.
