Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Doesn't taste nearly as good, doesn't satiate the pallette. And yes I've tried all the impossibles and faux stuff multiple times because I like to try new things.
That said, I'm completely for alternative routes to meat, and will give them every opportunity as they mature to break my bad habit. Plant based meat just isn't an adequate nicotine patch for such things, at least not yet.
it really snaps into view when you think about it as an addiction; which also just so happens to be fueling and unfathomably cruel bundle of industries that is destroying the planet - so the stakes are pretty high here.
I would encourage people to try veganuary this year, it's growing massively and there's tons of support.
I mean couldn't you argue that anything that gives enjoyment be considered an addiction then. I mean thats sort of the function of seratonin.
and that's totally fine when it doesn't inherently victimize someone else.
I hear you. I don't eat meat, and I haven't for several years. I still find it extremely tempting sometimes to eat some chicken wings.
The only reason I don't is because whenever I actually think, "maybe I should just have some," I get overwhelmed with flashes in my mind visualizing the deaths of the chickens and then I just... can't.
But if those flashes weren't there I definitely would've caved by now.
that sounds like ptsd.
Understandable, nothing tastes quite as fine as animal suffering.
We get it. You're better than us. You can put that on your bio.
