Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...
I agree. It doesn’t cost a lot to buy lentils and make dal, but it takes time.
The problem is really our entire food system is geared towards profit and the excessive suffering that comes from that. If you want to eat meat a little more ethically…you have to spend more or have the time to raise animals yourself.
Vegans vs meat-eaters is distraction from humans vs industrialized food. Vegans are correct about the suffering of animals, but those that focus on preaching to convert would find their time best spent being compassionate to those that can’t make changes.
Some small changes include:
have one more vegetarian day a week
in a restaurant select the vegetarian entree or three vegetarian side dishes in stead of a meat main course
buy from local farms if available
make some mushy Peas for a lunch option
meal prep (vegan/vegetarian food does freeze easily and is easy to reheat)
if making a dish that contains ground meat substitute (homemade options below)
I mean to do it all at once is not easy. Making small changes over time can improve health and save money. Thinking about the suffering of the animals can be detrimental, because you may associate making vegan choices with thoughts of animal suffering. I used to subscribe to a vegan magazine, but half of it was amazing recipes, and the other half was distressing animal stories.
mushy peas (use margarine or olive oil instead of butter)
I think plant-based is the diet choice and veganism is the lifestyle. I got corrected by someone who was plant based. They didn’t want to associate with vegans
Oooooh, that makes sense! And also randomly reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Lisa can’t deciper the cereal box clue even though everyone else gets it.
one step in the process of refining cane sugar involves passing it through a charcoal filter to remove impurities, essentially to whiten it. And this charcoal is sometimes made from something called bone char, which is literally the charred bones of animals, mostly cattle and pigs
Experiencing firsthand how difficult an aging alcoholic, quadriplegic, post stroke, narcissistic, demented or simply ‘nothing’s wrong with me, I can drive, I don’t need those meds, I don’t need to go to a nursing facility’ kinda parent surely gives you some insight on what to do, what not to do and how to prepare for...
I don’t agree that this kind of article is useful overall, but I propose rewriting the question a little bit to understand the response better:
“Humans, would you rather be stuck in the woods with a strange human that was most likely physically bigger and stronger than you or with a strange bear that was most likely physically stronger than you?”
The original question plays with subconscious bias and fears a little too much relating to men, and doesn’t address the true nature of humans in general.
If the question was instead:
“Humans, would you rather be stuck in the woods with a strange human or a strange bear”
My answer would still be a bear. I believe I could take care of myself for a few days and don’t want some other person there that I have to discussions with, compromise with, help survive or be scared of. Humans are too fucking random.
Wish I’d read this before I commented, you’re a lot more succinct. Agreed, you know where you are with a bear, humans have a high enough percentage of crazy to be a risk.
This happens at my job too. Overall the benefits of my union far outweigh how shit they are and the union dues. I’d rather have a crappy union than none at all.
I know my company would screw me over much worse than my union and company combined if there was no union.
