I love subsidizing these jackoffs energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos… From the same supplier.

To an extent they’re right but probably not in the way they intended to be. Government subsidies help ensure that animal ag can be profitable and incentivized regardless of consumption levels, and the ever-expanding amounts of land required for most animal ag and it’s support infrastructure (eg feedstock production, a byproduct of industrial soy oil) literal fuel and are fueled by imperial expansion in a cyclic self-reinforcing fashion. If people stopped eating beef today without also protesting it’s existence you’d probably see the animal ag industry continue to run on it’s own fumes for years.

The straw thing was a manufactured distraction.

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!

Don’t fuck around with Reddit, it’s become an unchecked consent-manufacturing machine masquerading as a web 2.0 forum and if you consistently speak your mind on there it’s only a matter of time until you get on some power-hungry moderator or admin’s shitlist with zero means to communicate or reciprocate. Save yourself the grief and leave it to die, it’s become literally what federated sites were created to make obsolete.

He’s gonna fire you anyway, leak harder.

“Went vegan to own the libs”

No I’ve literally been poor and living in a food desert and was pointing out that rice and beans are in fact usually more accessible than eggs in such a place, as the other user rested much of their argument on a belief to the contrary. Please don’t put words in my mouth, TY.

I’m just responding specifically to your argument that eggs are easier to find than beans and rice in food deserts.

You’re gonna find beans, soy and rice in a food desert a lot easier than eggs. The food desert I’ve lived in had at least two of the three in almost every bodega.

Aggravated Hank Hill voice: “Eggs being considered vegetarian doesn’t make eggs better, it just makes vegetarianism worse!”

US animal ag industry is battling cross-species avian flu right now in an attempt to delay it’s jump to the human population. When one chicken or pig gets sick it means you need to kill and destroy every single one of them. Hundreds of thousands of chickens get deleted every time. Usually doesn’t make the national news, and there are for sure political/economic factors at play too, but disease is absolutely influencing poultry prices.

I’m vegan and agree with your take here. We’re all in the same big stupid boat together.

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.

Yes, this is the grim reality of the issue. We’ll make animal ag even more inhumane and dangerous to humanity before we try moving to something more sustainable. Only catastrophe will force a switch.

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.
