- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 4 weeks ago:
“supply and demand” is a theory about price discovery. it is not an explanation for the existence of a market.
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
not necessarily
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
the vegan society definition makes no mention of consent.
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
to be clear, it’s not constant.
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
you seem to go on the defensive for meat and dairy
your characterization is irrelevant to the truth of what I’ve said.
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
go comment on stuff you enjoy rather than getting riled up about this stuff
I don’t tell you what to do. kindly return the courtesy.
further, I’m not riled up but your screed indicates you might be.
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
The meat and dairy industries have lobbied hard for ag-gag laws criminalizing photography on their farms after abuses have been discovered by undercover investigators and activists.
and that’s bad
but it’s still not necessary to kick cattle for milk
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
Female mammals, including cows, produce milk as a result of pregnancy in order to feed their young.
they don’t have any volition in the matter. they produce milk. period. but they’re not constantly pregnant.
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
Doing so to a creature who can’t consent is pretty wack though
it’s a veterinary procedure
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
artificial insemination isn’t torture. cows aren’t kept constantly pregnant. kicking and beating cows isn’t part of husbandry. killing cows at the end of their useful life is fine.
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
nature doesn’t have intent
- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
milking cows isn’t torture, but I’m pretty sure humans have a bigger carbon footprint than cattle
- Comment on Veganism is pro-fossil fuel 8 months ago:
eating meat is absolutely justifiable.

Care to elaborate?
poore-nemecek is bad science that misused LCA data and drew wild conclusions by, as i said, myopically distilling disparate studies with disparate methodology into discrete datapoints. we cannot rely on this methodology to understand the industry.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
Given that 80% of all agricultural land is used to feed and raise animals
that’s not a given, though. about 93% of all soybeans are used by humans, but about 77% of the cropweight is fed to animals. how can this be reconciled? because we press about 85% of the soybeans for oil, and the byproduct is fed to animals. so we can’t say 77% of the land used to grow soybeans is used for animals. 93% is for humans. this myopic focus on distilling all facets of the industry into discrete datapoints fails to understand the system as a whole.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
the goal of veganism is to reduce animal exploitation.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
the vegan society definition makes no mention of consent at all, only exploitation
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
Beef and dairy? Causes huge amount of greenhouse gasses and with current methods of production, it is not sustainable
what makes you think this?
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
Eating animals and their secretions requires harming significantly more plants than eating the plants directly because animals need to be fed too,
and they are mostly fed parts of plants that people can’t or won’t eat. the same field that grows soybeans for human consumption is growing animal feed, it’s just different parts of the plant.
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 8 months ago:
you are putting specific terminology in place of the words as written,and claiming it’s a clear connotation, when it is not
