I found this article on mronline.org. It claims that moving away from animal rearing for meat harvest will be instrumental in combating climate change. Some interesting excerpts:

A systems engineering analysis of climate science and animal agriculture published in the Journal of Ecological Society in 2019 by Sailesh Rao, the founder and executive director of Climate Healers, an environmental nonprofit, backs up the claim that the majority of analyses of agricultural emissions are low. Rao’s paper found that “animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change, responsible for at least 87 percent of greenhouse gas emissions annually.”

In a research study led by the University of Oxford and published in the journal Nature Food in July 2023, it was found that adopting a vegan diet resulted in significant reductions in climate-heating emissions, water pollution, and land usage, reaching an impressive 75 percent decrease compared to diets containing over 100 grams of meat per d

Hours before dawn on Tuesday, eight animal liberation activists entered the Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse facility in Sonoma County, California, disguised as workers, with the aim of rescuing as many chickens as possible.

Meanwhile, approximately 175 protesters gathered outside the property, where up to 49,000 chickens are killed every day, and where animal rights activists allege animal abuses and risks to public health are rampant. Some of the demonstrators joined those who had entered the property to assist in the planned “open rescue” action: a tactic by which activists publicly remove ailing animals from factory farms and bring them to animal sanctuaries, while highlighting the harms of the meat and animal products industry.

By 3 a.m. PT, as partly captured in a video shared exclusively with The Intercept, activists had removed 11 chickens from trucks that had transported thousands of chickens onto the slaughterhouse property, packed together as tightly as physically possible.

TVP is an underrated, cheap and convenient mock meat but do you ever struggle to get it to taste really good?

There are about a million different variations on how to make seasonings and broths but it always seems like TVP ends up as a soggy mass of bland, spongy textured stuff that has a strong cardboard-y aftertaste which has a tendency to permeate whatever dish it's added to.

&nbsp;

So how do you up your TVP game?

This method from Chef Jana has a technique that I haven't seen anywhere else before and that is to fry the TVP before you add any broth.

&nbsp;

What does this achieve?

First of all, this gives the TVP a delicious, almost al-dente texture like you would expect from ground beef.

Second, it prevents your TVP from becoming waterlogged.

Third, the broth you add and cook down into the TVP is effectively retained in the TVP so you can achieve flavoring contrasts like you would get normally with non-veg dishes.

Fourth, the streng

Is there even a reasonable and practical solution to the feral hog problem which is not especially cruel to the hogs?

What do you think is the best way to deal with all these hogs?

I've talked to many non-vegan leftists and they are the most puzzling type of person to me.

Like how are they even justifying participating in animal torture to themselves? All the things they critique about the brutality of capitalism could be applied them just easily! Somehow most of them seem incapable of entertaining the thought that perhaps actively and willfully engaging in the practices they themselves deem morally reprehensible is not the best course of action (gasp!) .

Every time I try to reason with them they pull same straw-grasping bullshit as liberals desperately trying to hold on to their unjustifiable beliefs -- it's the same arguments from them every time too:

• "no ethical comsumption under capitalism"
• "not everybody can be vegan"
• "unsustainable diet"

Do they seriously not see the hypocrisy or are they actually incapable of making a small sacrifice of their own happiness for the good of animals‽

For anybody out of the loop, we're mocking anti-vegan arguments in the context of wearing a mask. As much as I laugh reading the thread, I also get angry because I've heard every single one of these arguments through my life. Enjoy, comrades!

A lot.

I've tried making bechamel with soy milk and oat milk, and not a fan of either right now. I think I should try a nut milk. Any recommendations? Also I think I might want to try soy milk again because the last one I used had added sugar and also I slightly burned the roux. Any other tips for vegan bechamel?
