Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
I can go in my fridge right now and pull fresh farm eggs and meat.
Local animals that are treated wonderfully until they’re killed, and even then it’s a cleaner and better death than most of us will end up having.
Whole life spent living in an open field, have a barn to go in when it rains, free food, now that I think of it these animals have a better life than most people I know.
By god, that’s horrible to realize.
We really need to focus on bringing down factory farms and cities.
They both treat their subjects the same fucking way and we just let it happen.
No smarter than the fucking cows, we all just need to spread out into towns and villages.
Bring back manufacturing jobs, 1 factory per town could probably support the local economy, all the secondary places like gas stations, restaurants, barbers, grocery stores, bars, etc…
Plus once we all spread out all the towns would have a little bit of everything from the cities and maybe I could finally get a good Italian joint around here.
My choices are imo’s and the little pretentious place downtown that college kids parents go to when they are in town.
I may be a little extra myself though, I’m moving to a town of 400 a few miles away because I think the town of 20,000 people is way too crowded.
So YMMV I guess
