I feel like I'm somewhere in between. I wish I could eat less meat, and I try really hard to eat more green "ruffage", but also I'm simply not bougie enough to have a fridge constantly stocked with produce, nor the time to prepare it into something fulfilling before it goes bad, and I'm already struggling with keeping weight and muscle for my height and age.

I also refuse to eat substitutes that are "It's like a thing you ate, but instead it's molded flavored soy!" Even still, industrial soy and palm oil farming have also been destroying the environment, by the way.

I'd be much more okay with respectfully eating something I hunted, that would feed my family for weeks or months, but I live in a bizarre place in the middle of the desert that by all rights shouldn't even exist.

So the cognitive dissonance is a source of stress, but I also would like to survive so......?

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
