tl.dr., welfarist (lesser evil?)

Maybe I wasn’t clear, but you certainly have a lot more reading to do. You have a first year student’s understanding of the issue.

There’s a lot more to read about it than Wikipedia. The animal sourcing is unreliable too, those farm animals don’t make it, they get it from being outside and eating from the soil and drinking from various natural water sources. That doesn’t apply to most animal-based food products as those come from factory farms, which is why they supplement, usually as multivitamins. Those who aren’t eating a plant-based diet are essentially consuming second-hand supplements, along with second-hand amino-acids, second-hand lipids, second-hand calories. And B12 deficiency is pretty big in many human populations, especially among older adults. Everyone should be supplementing, really. You should stop making it sound like it’s difficult or disgusting, it isn’t.

Yes. Just avoid voting for yourself, it’s rude.

I’m certainly trying to deprecate this connection to Lemmy.world.

Alexa, play “Tooth and Claw” by Jeremy Soule from the Skyrim soundtrack

Rooki is a science denier - confirmed.

Unfortunately, running or managing a Lemmy instance doesn’t come with requirements to read science.

It’s a big topic and it wasn’t snark. You should learn to ask better questions and that’s a difficult thing to do.

it is uncontroversial that dogs and cats are both members of the carnivora order

Well, if they’re in an order, I guess that determines everything about them.

You should also go out and force all pandas to switch to hunting, because they’re also in the Carnivora order.
