So wait, are they treating the workers horribly, or… Oh, it’s an Onion article.
If it helps, in Argentina they are deforesting large swathes of land and pushing previous owners out at gunpoint just to plant more soy. That’s not an Onion article.
It’s worth noting 77% of the world’s soy goes to animal feed. Only 5% of soy goes to soy bean products like tofu, soy milk, etc.
Then, 90% of that feed gets used by the animals to walk around, fart, and generally stay alive until they get slaughtered. Essentially, 70% of the soy crops gets wasted on breeding animals to suffer.
People who genuinely think plant based diets are cruelty free and environmentally friendly don’t know anything about modern agriculture.
You should assume that any consumption, if not proven otherwise, is not cruelty free and environmentally friendly. The most moral thing to do is to consume less, I guess.
We need not have grandstanders in the comments, I eat meat products almost every day. This made me chuckle, because it’s actually funny.
You should watch Dominion and double check if suffering in another is funny.
While it may seem dated now (2005), I prefer Earthlings. No need to watch both, they cover roughly the same topics.
vegan btw
you should give a trigger warning when you link gore
This is going to trigger so many broflakes who have made eating meat their whole personality.
And before anybody starts screeching, I’m not even a vegan. I do mostly make vegan food at home, but you can pry my cheese out of my cold, dead hands, and I also occasionally eat fish or meat.
