I'm sure I have seen the most radical anti-meat opinions here.
Like it's worth destroying the ecosystems that depend on large herbivores to ensure the carbon they would move from grass to air back to grass instead is liberated by fire when the grasses grow unchecked, possibly forever when the grasses are no longer fertilised by the animals they support
I'm all for ending the worst animal agriculture. Get rid of the factory farms, get rid of methods that don't last. I easy meat, but I pick my meat from the stuff grown in places they are a net benefit or at worst displace other herbivores that aren't as tasty as cows
Fuck all humans for breeding to the point where meat farming is necessary. Eating animals isn't the problem, it's the SCALE at which we do it. Put blame where it's due
You all motherfuckers know deep in your hearts that humanity can’t survive this shit without a couple billion dying off. It’d be better if those couple billion were never born.
There’s no sustainable living without sustainable reproduction. But that’s even more taboo than everyone going vegan/vegetarian.
Name 5 scholarly works you've read on fascism, or 3 on ecofascism specifically.
In other words: I have a lot of knowledge about this shit. The overpopulation myth is tied to fascism at the hip. You've integrated fascist propaganda into your worldview if you think overpopulation is the issue.
You can just Google "overpopulation ecofascism" and the first few results in normal and scholar mode are pretty good (the former for well cited intros, the latter for more in depth stuff on the topic)
Damn, Thanos! We are overpopulated, I agree. But human numbers have always (and I do mean always, as long as we've been able to track it) adjusted to the sustainability of their environment given all but the most dire of economic factors that might affect that. Right now, we're seeing a rapid decline in children being born throughout the world. Just because it doesn't happen on a particular time table doesn't mean it's not correcting itself.
Factory farming is extremely cost-efficient, so I don't think the free market would give you anything else regardless of how many people there are. Laws and environment tax would.
Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it'seven available commercially... So I'm not too sure about the direction we're going.
It will be more efficient eventually, just not yet. The technology isn't mature yet. But as you've noted, those "pro-free market" Floridians and Alabamans want to ban it, because global elites and eating bugs or something.
We talking about Tyson dumping 18.5 billion gallons of contaminated wastewater in 2022?
This toxic stew includes animal parts and byproducts like blood and feces, pathogens like E. coli and Enterococcus, and nitrogen and phosphorus that can deplete oxygen in bodies of water.
Didn't think someone could waste the internet, but this "meme" is that low effort. It's like something your 60 year old dad makes in a couple of years from now when he discovers what memes are and goes through a phase of trying to make memes for anything
