God dammit jesus fucking christ I was looking for an optimistic take where I showed you guys that farmed animal populations haven’t gone up as fast as the human population but I was WRONG, not only are there many more of us but on average each one of us is also having radically more animals tortured on our behalves. Shit. Everyone wants to be middle class and here we are in our western post middle class phase going “No please, it’s not what you think it is, we beg you” looking like absolute hypocrites. How do you convince the world to go vegan without looking like you’re merely asking them to forego the luxury that your own liberal society has been dumping on you your entire life?
Are we doing that whole confusing “I declare a general strike” thing again?
I appreciate that Randall Munroe isn’t a part of the Feynman cult. Angela Collier did a great video about it a few months ago.
It’s way simpler to just farm something other than cows. Plants, maybe.
What if they advocate for nuclear power and say leave the solar panels up?
I suppose it’s settled then, no more large trucks!
“Went vegan to own the libs”
There usually are vegan vaccine variants if you’re privledged enough to be able to access and demand them. It’s usually far outside my level of acceptable practicality to do so though, so I get the default version.
OP wants to claim both compassion and nihilism.
Not so much fed with produce, but fed with alfalfa and soy feedstock grown on vast amounts of arable land that could and should be used to grow produce instead, for sure.
Which ones? I’ve yet to encounter a recipe with eggs where I couldn’t satisfyingly sub in tofu, mung bean liquid (Such as Just Egg) or starch+tapioca replacer (Such as this) depending on the egg preparation.
Tofu is good for scrambles.
Mung bean is good for frying.
Stratch+tapioca is for baking.
I used to get Bob’s Red Mill brand TVP from Safeway but it disappeared from their shelves a few months ago (Tried multiple locations) and hasn’t cone back. Considering that it’s basically just soy and pulses, and also that Safeway still carries the rest of the Bob’s Red Mill lineup, it does feel suspiciously intentional.
It is our business though, because when all those omnis come down with the latest zoonotic bird flu they endanger the entire population. And if the population did actually opt for tofu scrambles you just know that the industry would jack up the price of our cheap tofu.
Not to even mention, if you’re vegan then factory farming is always your business, ideologically speaking.
I don’t think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.
