Crazy how people will refuse to drink from plastic water bottles from fear of BPAs and microplastics but will happily eat the dead flesh of an animal that gorged on plastics for years. Our risk analysis is as broken as our morality.

Just go vegan. This is horrible for everyone involved.

Honestly even if we just cut out pork....this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

Cows are social and loving, too. And don’t get me started on octopodes!

Pigs definitely are and you shouldn’t eat them, but intelligence is a weird way to judge whether a life deserves consideration.
The only pertinent question is surely if they suffer.

I agree, we should start eating dogs.

As an addition Just make sure we are leaving out the slavery sourced goods as well like avacodos and almond milk. Stop eating chocolate. Real Vanilla is completely off limits.
Cause there’s no point in virtue signalling if your not going all the way.

Yeah, never change or improve unless you can be perfect all the time!
It’s crazy how defensive people get when cutting meat is suggested. Don’t even get me started on when the Internet collectively learned the phrase “virtue signalling”. Fuck me running.

I’d be down for that, personally. I like the thickness of soy milk more, and according to this test, real vanilla is pretty overrated.

No ethical consumption under capitalism, so grow your own or starve I guess.
