How is converting it to animal protein with a factor of at best 10:1 conservation of resources? Conservation of resources would be to produce less, and also produce less livestock.

Also if it wasn’t, it would have happened in the year 25 and 1025, and would happen in 3025, 4025 and so on.

Well, in that case we could just mix the soy protein in other foods, I guess.

But I’d also suspect that we wouldn’t need the quantities of soy oil, and we just use that because of the synergy with the livestock food.

According to the Soy bean producers of North Carolina, the soymeal is a by product of the soy oil production, where a small portion is used for Tofu and Soy milk and the majority becomes animal feed: ncsoy.org/media-resources/uses-of-soybeans/

So all of the soy protein given to animals would indeed be digestible by humans.

Now it might be true that a lot of people don’t want to eat Tofu Tempe and Soy milk, but we could as well plant any other vegetable instead of Soy beans, and who could resist some delicious Brussel sprouts for example???

Concerning the corn, we could just plant sweet corn instead, or any other plant really. Or what would prevent us from doing that?

A chicken is also much smaller than a cow.

Your penis is also much smaller than a cow, or a chicken. Should we all start eating your dick? Seems like size does matter indeed.

To be completely fair, some plants actually produce fruits with the intent of them being eaten, because that’s their way of Zoochorie/Hemerochorie
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S TIME! ⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
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?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S TIME! ⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Like soy and corn, which famously can’t be digested by humans.

Wanna guess how many plants are wasted to feed animals, only for humans to eat them?

They should be forced to use salt water for their AI data center cooling, and use the evaporated water to get fresh water.

“Suggestive evidence is information that hints at a particular conclusion but is not conclusive on its own.”

So in short, is there no conclusive evidence linking it to autism?

Wrong, or alternative facts?

The fact that you’re always deflecting off yourself shows me everything that I need to know about you.

You know that you’d have a choice, and you know that it’s objectively wrong to harm animals for no reason. And all the pointing to cases where it might be justified does not change that fact.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It’s funny how you come with a small exception when the majority of humanity lives in big cities where everything is accessible.

Of course, Inuit people in North Canada will eat seals, but hiding yourself behind them just shows how unaware you’re of your own privilege and also responsibility.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Tofu really depends on which consistency you buy. In stores like H-mart or other asian stores (USA), you can usually buy from very soft (silken tofu, consistency very soft) to very firm (consistency closer to a block of fresh cheese)

In Europe it can even go to more firm consistencies, something you can also reach yourself if you press/compress it for a few hours (google tofu press, probably also works if you improvise it).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Ok, so so you’re saying me that somewhere 200g of meat is cheaper than 200g of tofu? Because an average meal is pretty much vegan except for the protein, if you cook with oil instead of butter (which is also cheaper).

But yeah, no matter what I say, you’ll claim it’s wrong, mainly because you’re not really interested in anything but spreading your words. Which is fine, have a nice day.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I think when you’re calling vegans “religious” it’s you using that as a slur, despite acknowledging that it’s objectively true, which you probably wouldn’t say about religions?

And I agree that there are many more problems, but it’s easy to tackle more than one problem at a time, and considering that meat production is responsible for around 15-20% of all carbon emissions, and is a waste of calories (you feed the plants to the animals to get 1/10th at most back), it’s an easy way to also try to help out humans by combatting climate change and world hunger.

I’d also add that the term “carnist” is not correct, and in my group of peers we call “them” omnis for omnivores, which is just a description of the status quo, not a slur. It’s like calling a female presenting person woman.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
For somebody that doesn’t have time or energy to argue, you sure write a lot, but what I read is that you believe being vegan is being privileged (which to an extend is true, because usually it’s the more educated population that also tends to be vegan).

But the reality is that vegan food is cheaper for the same nutrients. And that despite meat and milk being havily subsidized.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I have no idea what vegan teacher youre talking about, and in my experience non-vegs feel bad just by hearing that I do actively go out of my way to not hurt innocent sentient beings.

But yes, of course you’ll feel like you’re doing the right thing, when you actually stop doing the wrong thing. Nothing wrong with that.

Also, the only reason the militant vegans make people so angry is, that deep down they know it’s true. Change my mind.

I think part of it is to reclaim masculinity (big muscle = very man), but of course there’s nothing wrong with other sports! Just stay active!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, oats are really great an hour before a workout, or if you still have capacity for carbs, but all other sources have less carbs per protein.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
To be honest, I am vegan for over 12 years and my main source of protein at the moment is Tofu (I airfry a whole diced package, 20g protein per 200g), or eat soy chunks, soaked in hot water and pan fried (from the local indian store, 19g protein per 40g dry chunks). Also nice is gluten powder (also called seitan), which is wheat protein isolate and is excellent to be transformed into your own meat substitute (also sausages). That has 24g protein per 30g of dry mass, but for consistency I’d recommend mixing it with something like crushed beans or chickpeas, otherwise it’ll be very elastic.

Otherwise I love the taste of the Orgain plant based protein, and of course, as mentioned by other people, eating a variety of lentils, beans, nuts or chickpeas helps to get the extra you need (the first paragraph is to fill up in the evening if you didn’t have enough during the day)

Here is a link to the video: yahoo.com/…/man-wearing-nazi-t-shirt-201221275.ht…

The guy has SS runes on his T-Shirt. If you wear SS runes, you’re a nazi (or insanely unexucated and stupid), and it doesn’t matter if you’re also a biker.

Outing myself as a vegan here, but w/e.

Don’t eat meat, eat protein and work out 3 days a week or more (if you can)! And specially if you’re vegetarian or vegan, don’t hesitate to use 5g creatine monohydrate per day.
