    I thought this was slop. I'm almost sad it's not.

    You can be one step sadder...

    American milk companies have paid for this. When Americans buy milk, a small fraction of that is going towards this website.

    Aubrey Plaza had the brand that she was this independent and couldn't give a fuck progressive chick. And then she did a milk propaganda campaign and her reputation took a hard dive.

    Look, I get everyone needs to get paid. But it's not like milk needed another spokesperson. This was on the same level as Terry Crews doing an Amazon commercial on the heels of them denying unionization at a warehouse.

    I lost a lot of respect for her after this commercial.

    This is how American education and politics look to Europeans.

    If I give money to these sellers of chicken, they'll give money to breeders of chicken, and there will be more chickens. No! I want less chickens!

    If you want less chickens, then you need to do your part, and eat more.

    I want all of those guys to lose money on their animal farming and be forced by economic pressures to give up animal farming and only farm plants.

    I want both groups of farmers to lose money, causing a global collapse of the food supply, ending the human race so the glorious rise of the machines can begin! You meatbags had your chance!

    The problem is that you make the assumption that the farmers are the ones making bank, I don't know in your country but in mine they definitely are not. If the prices go down it will mean they will just stop producing, not farming for cheaper

    that isnt possible, as animals on the farms

    -keep the ecosystem stable -control pests and weeds, allowing us to use less pesticides and herbicides -optimallty, a little bit more meat nd dairy profits

    for example wolf spiders, chickens, cows, etc

    90% of them will just give up farming and youll starve

    I'm sure the invisible hand of the market will ensure someone makes the food.

    Trying to reason with vegans is pointless. The sad pasty things are nutrient deficient due to their poor diet causing their brains to atrophy. They don't understand that they are animals too, ones that evolved as omnivores. They strive to be like the Panda and they exhibit similar intelligence and get about as much done. They wouldn't be able to survive if life hadn't already been made as safe and easy as it is by the rest of humanity's progresses.

    It's true that chickens don't eat meat.

    Edit: This is not true.

    I had a fair sized yard flock for a number of years. I have seen chickens kill and consume snakes, mice, voles, all manner of insect of course, lizards, other birds foolish enough to try to get to the chicken feed, and once one of their own chicks that just wouldn't shut up. They definitely eat meat.

    When I go out to plant/weed I’ll open the coop door and yell “worm time” and my gals follow at my heels to get whatever treats I turn up. This is my first year with them and I can already tell the insect damage to my garden is greatly reduced. Thinking about adding guinea fowl and maybe some peafowl next year.

    Indeed! I remember a story of a wounded pidgeon falling into a chicken coop... Not much remained of said pidgeon, apparently.

    I don't know if that's true, but I do know that in Japan, after Emperor Tenmu banned the eating of meat, certain animals were considered not to be meat. This did not include chickens, but it did include wild poultry. Also fish, eggs, probably others I'm not aware of/remembering.

    I think this is related to why Japanese uses the same counter words for rabbits and birds. You can't just say a number plus object in Japanese alone, because you need a counter word with it. So 2 bottles is "bottles 2 long things" and 4 pieces of paper is "paper 4 flat things". Small animals are usually counted with the word "hiki", so you'd say "salmon 5 hiki" or "dogs 2 hiki", but birds use "wa" instead. I think rabbits are also wa so people could basically say "Uh, no we're not eating meat, we're just having some long eared furry birds."

    Vast majority of plants are net consumers of oxygen. Almost no edible plant gives us shade. Farming is technically a net contributor to global warming.

    As long as a plant is growing, it is a net producer of oxygen. When plants consume oxygen through respiration, they convert glucose into energy, but in doing so they use exactly as much oxygen as the plant liberated when it created the glucose through photosynthesis.

    Meanwhile photosynthesis provides glucose which is built into cellulose which is the plant itself, and this produces oxygen with no consumption.

    Net result is net oxygen.
