Aha, but if every bullet is a killer bullet then it is exactly the same.

Checkmate atheists.

I thought it was my EU brain interpreting it that way. The alternative, like your wine example, is basically a black market cut product anywhere else.

As other people said, in the EU with "honey blend" you'd expect a blend of different types of honey, as it wouldn't be allowed to be call honey unless it was pure honey. Having to decipher "made with real honey" to mean "its not real honey" is just fucking odd. Flip it over and look at the ingredients and its just a list? Why no percentages?

Gourmet stuff comes in all sorts of weird packaging and shitty stuff comes in fancy packaging, so having to assume it is corn syrup because it's in a bear shape is also weird.

No rules for food labelling is wild.

I thought botulism was the main threat.

I'm confused there are no packaging standards in the US. Is the first ingredient the largest? How do you know if there's no percentage given?

Is that your alternative to voting?

Side note: the King Ranch Super Crew sounds like a range of chicken burgers.

If it's at the point you need a tab manager, surely you could just use bookmarks.

Aha, so you do have empathy for other living beings after all.

My point was that a bacon sandwich in particular is not a food need that's hard to replace nutritionally by existing foods. People eat it because it's super tasty. I would bet there is a very small percentage of total bacon eaten in the world that is eaten out of necessity (impoverished family eating their raised livestock).

It's a bad faith argument to make the assumption that I think the change should happen overnight instantly. And it's simply a bad argument that someone somewhere would have to eat meat eventually. It takes a LOT of crop farming to provide sustainance for the meat industry.

That's the dumbest application of game theory I've ever heard.

This example would only apply if there were a finite amount of animals shared between the two people only and there were no other factors at play other than eating and being hungry. Additionally let's assume the x is [eat animals]. This then defines the reason why people are telling you to not eat animals (the second x) as simply because "they don't like it". It shows you are missing the point entirely.

Don't pretend your "you don't like it so I'm going to do more of it" is anything more than "owning the annoying vegans who told me what to do".

New proposal: if we start eating all of the people who eat animals starting with those who eat the most meat, we will reduce the planet's meat consumption quite rapidly.
