Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

So you agree we should replace animal agriculture with plant based agriculture?
Yes (with some exceptions like eggs, milk, and other animal products like wool).
It makes sense environmentally. I would change my mind on this if there was some need to eat meat that couldn't be replaced by a vegetarian diet. I don't see the point in eating them, though.
It's not going to change until it becomes more lucrative/economical to do so, though, of course.
Eggs and milk are not healthy for humans to consume and require atrocity to produce. What is the point in your confusion?
I thought eggs were pretty healthy as a protein source. I'm not sure about milk but I assumed it was helpful for the same reasons.
With eggs, if unfertilized eggs aren't eaten, they'll go to waste anyway. Why not eat them while we try to downsize animal-based factory farming?
