      Right? I mean it is all dead carcasses, they just apply learned disconnect behavior. Tell them to eat a dog, and they lose their f’cking minds. No difference.

        Man, I still eat some meat (will fully stop some day), and that disconnect is crazy among the people who don’t really think critically about what they eat. I got on a rant about how south Korea shouldn’t have to make eating dogs illegal if we’re still gonna slaughter thousands of pigs per day, and everyone looked at me like I was nuts.

          Exactly! Years of programming, of teaching them “this” is not like “that.” Sorry, Blanch, but it is. huh.

        An overconsumption of only soy-based products can’t be good either.

        The cited source is a pro-vegetarianism site. That doesn’t seem like the most objective of sources to cover this research.

          Overconsumption of only anything can’t be good.

          Woah you made alot of jumps to get to an anti-vegatarian perspective lol.

          Maybe just accept veggies are healthier than meat? It’s not a radical idea and factually proven.

          I imagine you don’t realize what a non sequitur that is. OP said eat vegetables. There is nothing wrong with soy, though. I especially enjoy edamame, tempeh, and tofu. Naturally, one should avoid all over-processed foods like many mock-meats, but even the worst are vastly preferable for health to actual meat.

          Meat and dairy gets hundreds of millions combined from direct subsidy and promotion by US government agencies. A lot of money goes into advertising, covert PR, and selected research. If you’re going to be suspicious of biased research, be sure to keep your eyes open for that as well.

              It sounds like you’ve never tried edamame! That’s what you call a soy BEAN served in bean form. Get some frozen, steam it for a couple minutes, and it’s awesome. They’re a bit different from brown beans, in a delightful way, but they’re definitely beans.

    There is nothing of note to this. It’s a single study in a so so journal.

    It is undeniable that the current system for producing chicken in supermarkets often involves conditions that cause suffering. The chickens themselves endure hardship, the workers involved in the process face challenging circumstances, and consumers find themselves with limited choices for affordable nourishment. Seek alternatives like supporting local farmers who prioritize ethical practices, or explor other sources of protein. This is not merely a matter of personal preference, but a reflection of our interconnectedness and a step towards lessening harm. 🙏
