[…] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

Everything annihilated by aerial spraying, and the creatures (including farm workers) dying of cancer from non-lethal doses, would beg to differ.
Are you aware livestock eats farmed crops too? Taking out the middle man (or cow) makes the whole thing more efficient at least.
No, I thought they ate butterflies and sunshine.
Conversion of rain forest to grazing land has been a sickening thing to watch for the past 40 years - it’s got an up-front massive incentive through sale of the old growth hardwoods, then they turn around and make residual continuing income off of the grazing instead of letting the forest regrow.
But, then again, that’s pretty much what happened to most of the continental US’s forests in the 1800s. We’re starting to replant commercial tree farms, but those are monoculture biodiversity deserts.
Yeah, there’s nothing we can do that literally harms no living creature. Any vegan who has given their choices a second of thought will acknowledge that it’s about harm minimization, not causing zero harm.
But that’s not perfect so some brain case on Lemmy will complain about it
I wish everybody would get more “precise with their language” instead of running around spouting “zero harm” “absolutely no suffering” and such things, because people who say that often enough start to really believe it - instead of having a second of thought.
And I wish for world peace but similarly that isn’t ever happening.
True. But when someone is behind a keyboard, they can double down on their stupidity.
