- Comment on What do you think of Paramount merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new media company? 9 hours ago:
A consolidation of power in the media sector. Good for those who want to control narratives. Bad for the dissemination of opposing viewpoints, and thus bad for regular people. Same as it ever was.

His office’s Twitter presence is the coolest thing about him. Beyond that it’s all the normal corporate greed and trans-hate you expect from establishment democrats.

The amount of available agricultural land is not a factor? I’m just pointing out that one is more efficient than the other. And will feed more people with a given available space.

I didn’t say it was feasible. Just knocking down an argument that meat is a better choice for feeding more people.

Well, that’s a pretty abyssmal situation in your country and I’m sorry to hear that. I would not argue that not eating meat is better than malnourishment or starvation.

I am not vegan. But I’m pretty sure if everyone switched to a plant-based diet it would require significantly less land usage. And thus we could more easily feed everyone. Including those malnourished children.

Probably because there’s an inherent amount of hypocrisy in that argument? Unless they source all their meat very ethically they’re likely supporting factory farms. Which is a lifetime of mistreatment and suffering for an animal. And then they quibble about the amount of suffering at death.

I had a vegan roommate for years. I didn’t cook much meat when he was in the house. But I was never personally vegan. I also did agree that it’s more ethical to not kill for your food, let alone all the other horrors of factory farming. And I’m able to accept that I don’t live up to that more ethical standard.
I think maybe people just don’t like to think someone (especially annoying people) might be doing something better than they are? Like you said, special insecurities.
