You made me puke in my mouth a little bit
puts on mod hat Ahh yes that's an infraction let me get that taken care of. Thank you for reporting your fellow citizen.
Saltines, saltines far as the eye can see.
You need to learn what cherry picking is. These are studies funded by governments. Not meat packing corporations.
But I'm sure I can post some PFAS studies you can deny too.
Your right it's not. It's about your poor health.
As long as meat is sold for profit, animals well suffer.
Synthetic milk (chemically the same as cow's milk but from yeast) well be in grocery store shelves in the next 5 years. Idk if synthetic cheese will be though. Probably need to test interest/spend time culturing it.
I'm familiar with "harm reduction" as a "vegan evangelist" of sorts it's generally my goal with my time in this reality. There will be a time when it's taboo to consume an animal. It's just won't be within our life times.
Idk if your vegan but it appears we mostly agree. Lovely chatting with you.
Yeah and cocaine is fun to do too. Doesn't mean it's healthy.
It wouldn't end animal agriculture. It would just become the vinyl record collectors version of meat consumption.
It saddens me that you believe the only reason for cows existence is because of humans.
If I may suggest donating some time at your local animal sanctuary to meet a cow. Much like dogs or cats they each have very different personalities. They can be very cuddly if they get to know you. Like most herbivores they just want to have good vibes and enjoy their life.
We're humans, we can do anything we put our minds to. I'm not a geneticist nor nutritionist so there's no way I could tell you for certain. But the more I think of this question the more Jeff Goldblum's line from Jurassic Park comes to mind.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Theoretically, if you don't consume any of spine or nervous system, you should be good.
It's just frustrating. Despite study after study showing that consumption of meat leads to poor health, people keep doing it. It just reminds me of being an addict. Other people saying this causes less harm to other sentient beings are right I'll conceded to that but based off everything I know, the consumption of meat isn't an act of self love. I may just be sensitive because my mother is dying of stomach disease. Beans and rice vegan steps off soap box
Those flame throwers they use on cow udders comes to mind
