I appreciate the point you're trying to make but if you look into it, our meat habit is far and away one of, if not the, biggest climate challenges we face. We cannot continue consuming meat at our current pace and curb global warming, it's that simple. And while my initial post is extremely judgemental, I really just wish people would start paying attention to how much meat they eat. Is it really necessary? Really? Every meal? Considering the resources meat requires to harvest, I don't think so, but, sure, harp on my clothes, bro/broette.
Why is a discussion necessary? The facts are there.
It's like global warming: at some point all you can do is be angry about it and keep pointing at reality.
It's not my problem that humans don't tend to care about facts. They're allowed to kill themselves.
You're assuming that I am desperate for people to listen to the truth. This is not so. If people prefer lies, that's fine.
Just to pass the time.
What argument?
citation needed
I mean, sure. Try a search engine. It's not exactly lost knowledge of the Ancients.
my searches don't substantiate your claim. i am not responsible for supporting your claim: you are. if you cannot, there is no reason to believe it to be true.
Okay, well then I guess you are terrible at internet searches, I'm not sure what to tell you. Invest in an education, my friend. Good luck.
EDIT: Here's a video I seem to remember was a decent basic summary. I can't be bothered beyond that bc I'm frankly skeptical of your sincerity.
i still don't believe you, and no one should.
I edited in a link to a YouTube video in my last comment if you haven't seen it. Give that a watch I guess. Maybe it will answer your questions if you have the attention span to get through all twelve minutes or so.
But also do yourself a favor sometime, stop for a few moments and try to pin down why meat eating is such an important part of your identity and why you're so defensive about it. Like why do you care so much? Who taught you that?
Or don't. I'm not your dad.
if you can't even give a timestamp, I'm not clicking that video. maybe you did provide evidence, but it seems like you don't even know if you did.
I'm not defensive. I'm only interested in keeping the conversation honest, and you have made claims not supported by the facts
I'm a philosopher. all I care about is the truth
I sincerely think you don't have evidence for your position
