@sun @barrett @ambiguous_yelp while I agree that humans consume too much meat and the modern factory farming practices that raise our livestocks are inhumane, it is an absolutely ridiculous idea that you can erase centuries of human culture around food and expect people to change their world views on this.
It's also a privilege for people to be able to live on a vegan diet. In many parts of the world the ingredients are not available at all or it is prohibitively expensive to only consume it. There are other arguments like convenience which is highly valued when you live in a society that works you to death.
We could probably start by lifting the subsidies that make animal byproducts so cheap so we can better achieve a price parity between animal and plant based diets, but entire production an distribution networks need to be revamped as well.
This also doesn't consider that we have entire species that would go extinct if we weren't raising them to eat them. Like the turkeys we farm. You know what happens when the President pardons the turkey for Thanksgiving? Uhhh well it goes to a farm and keeps growing and growing and then dies because it can't walk anymore. Not so different from our broiler chickens which cannot survive because we bred them selectively for food. So what do we do about that? Is it more horrific to completely eliminate them from the planet?
We can eat animals and still respect them. Buying local and from smaller farms is a great first step. -

@ambiguous_yelp @barrett @sun all kibbles are a scam and lead to digestive issues and foul-mouth AIDS. "nutritionally complete" is a lie. Dr Tom Lonsdale has been fighting the corporations on this for decades. The only reason most veterinarians believe this garbage is because in school the nutrition courses are taught by pet food company representatives.

@ambiguous_yelp @barrett @sun also I assure you that any antibiotics from the animal have been absolutely cooked out of kibble. It's not even meat. The absolute worst byproducts of the animals are used in kibble.
In the kibble used in the study you sent the following are giant red flags:
- brown rice (allergy causes hair loss, skin infections, ear infections)
- oatmeal (some breeds like Weimaraner have celiac disease and this will make them eventually shit blood)
- canola oil (seriously guys?)
- dried chicory root inulin (enjoy having a
dog that farts like a steam engine because you had to supplement with something that helps feed unnatural gut bacteria as their body cannot break down the carbs completely on its own) -

@anemone @sun @SlicerDicer @barrett @ambiguous_yelp
Let's take this conversation down a different avenue.
@ambiguous_yelp, what is your opinion on e.g., deer hunting? Kangaroo in Australia?? If we are to stop killing them to control their populations, we have a rather large problem on our hands.
In the USA the insurance companies in cooperation with the DNR (Department of Natural Resources -- our gov pals involved in nature) share data on herd sizes and are a major driver behind deer hunting in the midwest. Bag/tag limits (number you're allowed to kill) are calculated every year by estimating how successful hunters will be and how many we need to kill. Insurance companies pay to ensure more get killed.
"Need" is the key word here.
If we don't deal with them they do massive destruction to crops and they cause a lot of damage when they're hit by cars. Sometimes killing people.
Most of these deer are processed into food but that's not relevant. What's important to understand is that we cannot peacefully coexist with many different wild animals because they spread disease and cause destruction. I wish we could, but we just can't. There's too many of us and we've invaded and destroyed their homes. There's nowhere for them to go.
So what do we do about this? Depopulate the planet? A massive restructuring and migration of society unlike anything ever seen before?
Killing animals just to kill animals is bad. This is why I don't hunt anymore. I don't need the meat, so I don't hunt. This was passed down to me from my dad. I was not allowed to hunt what I wasn't willing to eat (and pay for processing of the meat, in the case of deer, which can be a few hundred dollars at the butcher).
There is no clear solution to this problem. The world is complex. We need nuance when discussing these things. You can't look at the world as being binary black & white / right & wrong. -

@feld @anemone @sun @barrett @ambiguous_yelp Well to be honest that cull is just to stop them from rotting everywhere. Nature has handled it for a very long time. It’s just more ideal to not have it go to waste like that. Kangaroos are very well adapted to this boom bust cycle. More so than most species. feld likes this. -

> Kangaroos were once hunted by the country’s Indigenous population for food and by dingoes, native wild dogs whose numbers have been vastly reduced by baiting, trapping and shooting. British colonizers also built new dams and waterholes for livestock, giving kangaroos ready access to water. Now one of the only natural caps on numbers is drought, according to Radford. “You get mass starvation and mass death,” he said.

@ambiguous_yelp @anemone @SlicerDicer @barrett @sun right in the the abstract it says that "Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements." so it sounds to me like you can't just "eat plants", but now you need to add vitamins/supplements because your food is not wholesome enough.
Just because the nutrient is in the plant doesn't mean it's bioavailable. -

@SlicerDicer @anemone @feld @barrett @sun This is whataboutism, this will continue to happen whether or not you fish. A vegan world would therefore have less suffering, we can research into reducing wild harm like this too if we had the collective will

@ambiguous_yelp @anemone @feld @barrett @sun Who gives a shit, that’s a statistical bias. How many did I see going and eating contaminated fish and or rejoicing in it. Being in denial of actual science of what dinoflagates were in the water. You are gonna need a hell of a lot more than 10.
This is not debate, you clearly have zero idea what anything is. You will have better results pounding sand up your ass than convincing these people. That’s my point. -

@ambiguous_yelp @anemone @feld @barrett @sun This is called video of fish observing them in a natural habitat. I’ve been an ocean conservationist for longer than you can imagine. The only viable option to stop terminal decline is end fishing. That removes 28% of the planets food. Regardless of your feelings on the matter it’s going to happen now or later. That’s the calculus based on the load we place.
You seem to think that telling people what to do in a matter of cruelty will have any effect. Let’s be real, ordained reality isn’t enough what the hell makes you think anyone will listen to what you say?
I even documented 1600 videos of a ecosystem collapse that featured 78 species of fish I could document over 3 months. Guess what? No one cared.
Find a better thing to argue on. There won’t be any fish mouths to impale as we ruined the water. 99.5% decline since I was a child. That’s little over 30 years. The worst damage is not done by impaling, it’s the DIN:SRP maybe fight that. -

@ambiguous_yelp @SlicerDicer @anemone @barrett @sun the biggest problem with veganism is the belief that individual choices can change the entire world.
Choosing to not use plastic bags etc will not stop plastic pollution or manufacture; only regulations that make it illegal will.
You have to go after the root cause. These things completely overpower individual choices. The imbalance is mind boggling. -

@ambiguous_yelp @anemone @feld @barrett @sun That’s where you are wrong, in the course of my average day. I never once hear this nonsense of speciesism. Therefore the masses do not give a shit. I don’t give a shit about this evangelical nonsense. If you instead learned about fish counts, management practices that are flawed. The basis for our fish stocks and what makes what. You’ll see gaping holes. This is far more horrifying of an end game than seeing fish killed now. Way worse, the fact is they won’t be available and the entire ecosystem will change. Therefore we must change, this has zero to do with eating them. Eating them is not the concern. What happens when they can’t reproduce is the concern. The environment degrades, the habitat changes to diatoms, Cyanobacteria and algae. That turns everything neurotoxic or worse.
Have some real perspective of what’s happening. In fact you should encourage them to eat the fish as this goes. Then watch them get paralytic effects. What better way to teach people than with loss of mobility or even a prolapsed rectum or two? -
