  Regarding your second point, you also cannot guarantee that small animals like rodents are not harmed in the process of harvesting plants.

  And that eating fish doesn’t count as eating meat…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of trying a bunch of different conflicting methods for weight loss from these comments, I would recommend you instead first understand the science of it with:

  • The Aetiology of Obesity
  • Solving the Two-Compartment Problem
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The circle of life⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And non-plants like algae and bacteria.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Time doesn’t have to be 1:1 between a host and a simulation. The host can take as long as it wants to render the next step in a simulation, and any observers within the simulated universes would not be able to discern the choppiness of their flow of time.

  I’ve always loved chickens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eating your veggies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI, people who do not eat any fruit or vegetables (on the carnivore diet) do not get scurvy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because:

  • Ruminants like cows repair our depleating topsoil via regenerative farming (our current approach of using petroleum-based fertilisers is not sustainable)
  • A single cow’s life can feed a human for 1 to 2 years, compared to the many incidentally killed animals (insects, rodents, frogs, birds, etc.) during the growing and harvesting of crops, plus the destruction of entire ecosystems to create the mono-crop farms in the first place
  • Humans need to eat lots of fat to be physically and mentally healthy, and beef provides lots of fat (the low-fat high-carbohydrate diets recommended by various agencies — starting with the US’s department of agriculture in the late '70s via the food pyramid — are making us sick, with once-rare diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and dementia now commonplace)
