While researching another issue, I found some evidence that a vegan diet can be better than the average meat diet. This could be because the meat in pet food is of poor quality and is more likely to be spoiled than plants.

You could of course grow mice or purchase expensive meats but once it is well-rearched, a vegan diet may be a more economical way to provide a good nutrient profile.

There is but most people prefer to pretend they understand rather than seek a scientific understanding.

It's about minimizing the annoyance for the majority of users who will misspell some popular thing.

Also, I believe that showing actually interesting content is bad for the businesses because it might make the user stop to think and pursue something meaningful instead of continuing to use the product.

I interpreted your first comment as meaning that you are supposed to hate the book because of its topic as many people seem to think whenever it is brought up.

Rowling has said a lot more questionable things, though. And even written books about her insane opinions. Calling Lolita a love story makes sense, as that is the protagonist's point of view, even though the story is also many other things.

Crime novels about murders are a very popular type of book. Do you think that people read them because they'd enjoy watching murder in real life?

Also, the writing seriously is that good. I'd have completed the book if it was about watching paint dry.

Does it matter? A discussion is not about signalling that you support the correct side even though social media seems to think so.

Pyre is an interesting sports game IMO because it doesn't try to look like any real sport.

AITA is garbage because it isn't about finding the best course of action but about whether you can pretend that your behaviour is justified, which is not helpful.

Unfortunately these people can't distinguish actual science from bad science or completely made up things that claim to be based on science.

Plastic packaging has issues but climate change is not one of them. Shipping also isn't impactful at all. Most shipping emissions happen when the product moves to the store, not when it sails in a container ship.

Based on your post, the main evil of the corporations is manipulating the media, confusing people with things like abolishing plastic straws (which are very efficient at what they do).

Eating beef, owning a car and buying unnecessary stuff (for example those bottled drinks) are huge. They easily make up half of a persons emissions. An accurate measure is hard because of secondary effects like needing less road with fewer cars.

I would say the only thing the movie has in common with the book is that it mentions the book's main character and the laws of robotics. The book is all about weird behavior of robots that actually obey the laws but the movie just treats them as some corporate doublespeak.

Growing it in a lab is likely worse that growing it in an animal. Synthetic imitations are the only efficient replacement.
