  fun fact: we kill between 1 and 3 TRILLION animals a year for food and textiles.

  Wait, that’s not a fun fact!

    Not all animals are the same. Killing an endangered dolphin weighs much different to eating a mussel.

      So you’d recommend only eating animals until they are endangered and then eating other animals until they are no longer? Is that what you want to express?

      Or are you arguing that some animals are more sentient than others (e.g. mammals vs mussels), and we should switch to eating snails and mussels only, because of that?

    That’s it? I was hoping to see at least 10 trillion animals killed this year…

    Like soy and corn, which famously can’t be digested by humans.

  Plants don’t want to be eaten. Plants don’t want to be eaten. Plants don’t want to be eaten. Plants don’t want to be eaten. Plants don’t want to be eaten. Plants don’t want to be eaten. Plants don’t want to be eaten.

    To be completely fair, some plants actually produce fruits with the intent of them being eaten, because that’s their way of Zoochorie/Hemerochorie
