What a wasteful non issue. Then again, wastefulness suits the meat industry and it's lobby very well

[โ€“] Skasi@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It seems the meat lobby is way too strong. ๐Ÿ™„

Theyโ€™ve been beefing it up for a while now.

They don't mince their words!

Imagine people ordering a "lentil burger", "soy burger", "plant burger", "bean burger", or "chickpea burger", and receiving a vegan meal.

Can you imagine how shocked and deceived, perhaps even violated they may feel? The horror!

Luckily the European Christian Democrats protected European citizens from this huge and common problem instead of, oh I dunno, helping European industry with the energy transition or end a genocide. They have their priorities straight here.

Or maybe, just maybe, this is another attempt by a panicked industry to slow down the transition to a slightly less cruel food production system and these politicians are earning some side money?

EDITED for tastefulness of words. The only words I changed are the only ones that OP quoted and responded to below. The rest of the message was ignored. I actually learned a valuable lesson today, thanks Felix!

animal mass murder industry

You vegans are so funny ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Should I call it ecocide industry then?

Lung disease spreaders industry?

Epidemic production industry?

You don't have to care about animals at all to see the benefits of reducing meat production.

Carry on supporting "plant mass murdering industry" a. k. a. "consumer deception industry" sweetie ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Somehow industry producing plant pulp which looks like shit and taste the same way are hell bent on calling their inferior products the same as "animal slaughtering industry". Try to guess why. Oh, hold on, that requires more than a few brain cells and you are a vegan after all.

Well, "sweetie", I never personally insulted you and I took the effort to link sources for my claims so I got that going for me.. ๐Ÿคท

[โ€“] FelixCress@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

How have I insulted you now sweetie? I mean, "Vegan" can be perceived as an insult so I kind of get it - but surely not for yourself?

Regarding brain cells - that's a simple statement of fact. Vegan diet, especially not properly balanced, impacts mental health and intellectual capabilities.
