@StandardIndividual: The strong will always justify the acts of violence they commit upon the weak. In your case, you call it evolutionary rights. Terrorists call it jihad. Nationalists have called it ethnic cleansing. In the end, the cruel do whatever they need to to belittle the importance of the lives of their victims.

But that's clearly not an issue for you. Maybe you have yet to consider that it's not just animals being hurt. The agricultural and farming practices that are required for the animals you eat are destroying the planet. It's expediting global warming, threatening the lives of indigenous tribes, ruining crop yields with soil erosion and depletion, producing incredible amounts of waste, destroying biodiversity, creating the risk of superbugs, and leaking chemical fertilizers into water supplies which threaten sea life and fisheries.

We're putting our own food supply and lives at risk by continuing to feed animals for consumption

@StandardIndividual: When that happens, it may be too late to stop. Relying on human ingenuity as a last ditch rescue effort is foolish. They say not to put all your eggs in one basket for a reason.

But I'm not talking about an animal, I'm talking about hundreds of billions of animals every year. We lock them in cages, we mutilate them, we repeatedly impregnate them until their offspring are old enough to be put through the same, we hang them by a hook and slit their throats until they bleed out, we throw male chicks through a grinder alive, we beat them when they are too weak or sick or scared to walk to their own slaughter. What we do is nothing short of systemic torture. Denying them their suffering because they can't understand rights and revolution is sickening. It's not the killing that bothers me any near as much as the living hell they go through before that.

They don't sit around in fields munching on grass either. >99.9% of all animals used for consumption are raised in factory farms. They live in dimly lit, overcrowded, waste-filled sheds and cages. Animals need to be mutilated so they don't hurt each other when they go crazy because of it.

Thinking that mass murder is vastly different just shows how little you know about the research done on animal intelligence

I thought it was bread.......but is that only for men? :)

IDk, I thought it was meat and potatoes. For men and ladies. But I'm an American, what do I know. :)

@Katielass: 😄

No arguing with Bacon !

Seaweed is rich in iron. And it's really good tasting

@JazzyC: I agree! I love sushi and seaweed chips <3

@goagainsttheflow: I love ❤️ that too.

Most do.
Bacon especially :)

Never heard of that.

@Nimbus: I already knew it a couple years ago but a nutrition teacher who had an online workshop said she didn't recommend a vegan diet because few people do good on that one....meat has complete proteins that are necessary to maintain glandular health and for hormone balance....

@cherokeepatti: Ahaaa!

Mhhhhh
