Well that was predictable - Lemmy.World

According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still – when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

Their reasons will not be valid, I’m not going to even entertain reading them.

We make more food than we consume on this planet—in the absence of scarcity, food security is obviously a human right, it’s aggressively malignant to be against this.

Whilst we’re at it, shelter is a human right too, we have several times more empty houses than homeless people in most developed nations—that’s fucked.

Sadly excess food is not the worst of it, farm animals are.

Take a 7km cycle (drive if you must) ride out of town and all you’ll find is; grass, wheat, corn, soy: all meat for farm animals (depending on where you are)

Found the vegan

Nice try, but no I eat meat too (social meals, restaurants) but I strictly won’t cook it myself.

Vegans that throw out their leather belts I consider mentally questionable.

Reduce is the key. Vegans have a point, scientifically, but their absolutism is their biggest problem.

I dare you to add some frozen tofu to your bbq stakes once in a while.

Forget tofu - I can never seem to cook it right. I like the approach just one less red meat meal per week (for example, chicken is better for you and better for the environment), or one less meat meal per week (there are many common meals that happen to not have meat, like a salad, or eggs, or depending on how you count fish).

Look at what a small change over the whole population cannot do! Looks like a long term trend in the right direction, but heading back up over the last decade

Simmer on a pan with plenty of bbq sauce or Peking duck sauce. Never fails
I like to saute tons of onions at once and use them throughout the week, after doing a bunch I’ll deglaze, add salt and seasoning and simmer a bunch of tofu in that. Gives good color and great flavor, and can be added to basically any meal.
