The vast majority of that is through factory farming. It’s a cheap cop out from personal responsibility saying you only “buy local animal products.” You probably eat at restaurants or at friends’ houses without checking the source of those.

Disney’s clown management refused to air a trans focused episode because of the “political climate” saying that “LGBTQ+ experience are a sensitive issue” thus catering to bigots.

Calves being ripped from their mothers and male chicks macerated is not animal cruelty?

Stopping the cruelty from the root of it is the best way to do it.

Go vegan!

Someone should at least try to do something!

The peasant masses were hoodwinked once again! They keep letting the rich mess with their lives without learning much.

The shifting of manufacturing outside the region is a massive problem.

That’s pretty accurate! I just wish they wouldn’t be so insistent on defending the status quo when it has problems like world hunger.

I post on Lemmy lots like you do ;)

Anything to get away from a Trump presidency.

2 out of the 764 people who live there. I wanna see an investigation drama where they try to narrow it down.

I wonder if North Korea has some copies 👀

Nice! We will be independent of Google and Microsoft!

Hurting others in “the options” is morally wrong.

Stop being uncivil.

No shooting someone is not humane.

There are other ways to manage populations without subjecting animals to cruelty…

Eating a whole food plant-based diet is not complicated at all as you just need to eat a variety of foods and supplement b12 and vitamin d.

Plant-based diets are full of fruits, vegetables and legumes, with little or no meat or other animal products. In research studies, vegans, people who don’t eat any animal products, including fish, dairy or eggs, appeared to have the lowest rates of cancer of any diet.

Mayo Clinic

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements.
