"I'd switch in a heartbeat if vegan food is cheaper, healthier and as tasty or tastier"
duhhh you'd be stupid not to at that point. Until we get there the consumer needs to signal big corporations that demand exists and McDonald's adding plant based options is a huge step. Every burger sold will contribute to encourage more companies to offer vegan options, even cheese
Yeah, a lot of claims with 0 sources doesn’t inspire confidence. So milk was never shown to be unhealthy, fat+cholesterol isn’t harmful but oat milk is terrible for you. Gotcha
There's a bunch of fallacies in here. Dude, you need ~10x the amount of calories recycled through an animal than eating those plants directly. Where do you think the calcium comes from? "Basic facts of life" is such a BS term. Sure, you need a happy picture in your head to justify the practice, but it just doesn't make any sense.
Next the typical blabla about crop deaths. Did you know that the vast majority of crops to go animals? Wanna save the majority of cute mice and little birds? Eat plants directly, don't waste most of them to kill even more animals. Oh and you're pro-slavery as well? You seem to be a nice person. Do you also justify murder because other people jaywalk?
B12 hahahaha please do some research! We feed those poor creates so much antibiotics so they don't die in their tiny cages that their gut bacteria barely produces any - so almost all B12 goes into their feed. You take B12, indirectly. Please tell me more about how natural that is and how impossible burger doesn't stack up to your "natural" diet. That stuff is made to have an alternative for McDonalds, not to be a healthfood. Man.
You build a very weak story for you, which sounds like the typical BS excuse. "Ethics isn't easy" - you have the choice, three times a day, to either fund one of the most terrible practices on earth or drink slightly different plant juice for your breakfast and go with beans or impossible burger, whatever your health preference is. No need for complex ethics man. It's an easy change, just uncomfortable at first. Stop the stupid excuses. If everyone cuts their emissions by 80%, we don't need to stop having children and be the last ones to enjoy the world. In which scenario does that argument make any sense?
Well a company offers a food you’re not forced to eat and that was enough for you to state your discomfort of people simply showing you the result of your actions. Not much more to say really
Australia is burning. Animal is not only reason for climate change and species extinction but one of the big ones that we need to eliminate if we want to have a chance at stopping this madness. I'd stand up for the future of my children and grand children, so why do you value your taste pleasure more?
