I think the general consensus would be: As long as you don’t need to keep exploiting animals to get the stuff to make the lab grow meat out of, it is considered vegan.

However, a lot of vegans still say they would not eat it.

Germany did NOT issue a travel warning for the US (yet).

What they did is adding to the general “travel note” about the US. We have these notes for basically any country.

The travel note, however, was rewritten to point out the new threats you might encounter while visiting the US. But still probably just an 5/10 on their warning scale.

Wait! Shifter is on peertube? Cool! Love that guy.

Brother, really? Have you even seen one before? 🤔

Kommt auf die vegane Seite der Macht, Schwestis und Brudis! 💚💚💚

I have the Fairphone form iode with their OS on it. Best phone I had so far and the System ist pretty much set up the way I like it out if the box.

I mean, the headline of this post already makes me irrationally angry. 😂

Y u no close brackets!?

• “n-jinx” wäre “en dschinks”
• “engine x” wäre “endschin iks”

Um das mal phonetisch zu schreiben: Es würd sich ungefähr wie “en dschinks” auf Deutsch anhören.

Short answer? No and no.

Knowing PCRM, they already went with a “pretty low in convenience food” whole food plant diet. The article also states that the savings amount to roughly 20% compared to the SAD, which is quite substantial imo.

You could look into using 3rd party clients to view Lemmy. They often enhance the default behavior with additional features. E.g. Voyager (the one I’m using) has a “keyword filter”.

Well, I set myself up for this, didn’t I… 😅 Actually I was kind of hoping for a more specific question, as I would need to respond with a wall of text - and I would like to avoid that as it is kinda rude to force people to read so much and it makes discussion difficult.

So maybe 3 options:

1. Wall of text
2. You have a more specific question in mind to rephrase
3. I try to summarize my wall of text, but I might not get the point across

Well I wasn’t expecting to find THE right answer in the comments already. Kudos!

And to everyone reading through this post: If you have questions, need more explanations or want to learn more about the options that we have to “stabilize” a renewable energy system and make it long term viable, just ask!

Thanks! 🫶 It’s been working pretty well lately.

Yeah, trying to be a good example and hopefully an inspiration to others IRL. Also, talking to interested people warming them to the general ideas and explaining the concepts of veganism, hopefully removing some misconceptions and prejudices along the way.

Everyone needs to go vegan. ☺️👍

Just as a sort of PSA: You will get no omega acids from WHOLE flax seeds. You need to ground them up first! This should be done shortly before consuming as the ALA in the seeds tends to oxidize when exposed to air.

I’m super late to the party and I hope everything is going well on your side.

I’m not a parent, but I find the info at PCRM generally helpful and mostly fact based.

They also have a little section about plant based diets and pregnancy: https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/plant-based-diets/pregnancy

All the best!

it’s harder to fight evolution and it takes time

See, I don’t really understand why you think we would need any evolution for this. For what it’s worth, we are already very well capable of thriving on a plant-exclusive diet with our current genetic setup.

meat free lifestyles would most likely push different evolutionary traits in a few million years

Most probably not - or at least not to great extent. You need a selection pressure for evolution to happen. I.e. you need natural selection. And since our food-choices influence our chances for reproduction very little in our modern days. Humans removed them selves to a great extent form “evolution by natural selection” anyways in our age.

you have to consider cultural influences as well

Cultural influences can be used as an explanation for a status quo, but are a bad justification for future behavior most of the time.

Additionally, veganism is more prominent in higher income countries because of food processing and “health food” taxes cost money, so many vegan items aren’t inexspensive.

I can not agree with you on that statement in any way. The cheapest staple foods you could get are mostly vegan (Grains, Legumes, Dried goods, seeds, vegies, fruit, potatos). Meat and animal products are quite expensive to produce in comparison. Most of the time this just does not seem like it, because animal ag is extremly subsidized to keep this industry economically viable. If anyone would need to pay the FULL price of animal products, most of us would not be able to afford then on a regular basis.

Those people that are too impoverished to afford a full vegan diet would starve without meat.

Completely backwards. “Poorer” regions that have a climate suited to produce crops often have traditionally a very plant heavy diet, since things like grains and legumes have a great shelf life and are very cheap. Meat is fucking expensive. It boils down to basic thermodynamics. You need to put so much calories into an animal that you will never be ably to retrieve by consuming their body. It is wasteful.

Also consider those places where the land can’t be fertilized and farmed. Those people as well would starve.

No one in their right minds would say that some indigenous tribes or the Inuit need to be eating veggie burgers tomorrow. We are talking about the vast majority of people on this planet - like you and me. And we have the choice. Diverting the argument over to some hypothetical about foreign tribes or poor people is not necessary and also not at the heart of the arguments.
