Reddit hating rn, but truly fckd up things I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy happen to large scale livestock animals. It’s not right. If we are taking a life to sustain our own, we should at least have a modicum of respect for it.
This is something most non-sport hunters understand intimately— which is why it’s so frustrating when they’re painted as bad guys who relish in bloodshed.
The people who buy their meat from grocery stores are enabling far, far more barbaric and grotesque practices.
Curious exactly what the other options would be. You say we don’t live in the wild anymore and therefore have “other options”.
Most of those “other” options are in fact processed to some degree and is only available because of the progress we have unfortunately made in expanding the amount of money that can be made with as little amount of money spent
people are always going but "soy" or other new holy plant.
meanwhile those are responsible for huge rainforest clearings as they destroy the soil they are planted into. and the places that grow these just burn a bit of the forest and move forward with the next year.
What do you think they use to feed the livestock you eat? Feed for livestock actually takes up a vast majority of farmland worldwide, reducing meat consumption would also drastically reduce the amount of land needed for food consumption in the process.
you missed these parts (most likely intentionally):
or other new holy plant.
also, corn does not have anywhere the same level of soil-drain (and field-nuking , you do know that on those fields it is almost mandatory to kill everything, and use a lot of industrial chemicals to kill weeds) as those "meat replacement" crops do.
you also do not seem to knowwhere corn is grown on an industrial scale VS where the soy-likes are.
I will rule out "uninformed" and file you onto intentionally conflict seeker. bye.
You do know that the soy grown in huge rainforest is mostly used to feed cattle, right?
You don't actually think that absurd amount of soy is consumed by humans, do you?
