Huge methane emissions reduction thanks to a little tick
And we’d still have poultry and fish in the end.
Not the worst thing that a tick could be spreading at all.
Considering it usually coincides with Lyme disease, I’d say it’s still pretty damn bad
Think about the impact it would have on climate change if humans were allergic to meat.
There seems to be a wildly unusual anti-meat sentiment on Lemmy. It’s disproportionate from my experience in person.
I wonder if it means anything.
These damn vegan echo chambers. They’re talking about vegan recipes to try out
Lemmy.world atleast is a space to discuss things positively but I’d rather it not become an echo chamber

Lemmy’s userbase is currently skewed very left wing, many people on the left are vegan or vegetarian or at least care about climate change enough to see reduction in meat consumption as a necessity to fixing it.
So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that you see more anti-meat discourse.
Disclaimer: I eat meat
I am left wing but I’m not vegan and I’ll never be vеgаn and that is my personal choice
I don’t mind if others are vеgаn or vegetarian but when you start bullying people off a platform for not being vеgаn then that’s when I do mind
If I do see any of that bullying I do report it and I suggest you should too
/positive connotation
I don’t think many on the left are vegan or vegetarian, I think that those two groups tend to live in the left spectrum. They’re far outweighed by those that do eat meat.
I’m confused by this and totally open for evidence that proves otherwise, but literally everyone I know who is vegetarian or vegan is a bit more or…insanely more on the conservative side.
I don’t know any liberal vegetarian or vegans.
I suppose. but I worry about those who cannot biologically process a vegetarian diet no matter the supplements they take. If they get bitten by the tick, they’re fucked
I do hate that this is downvoted as your comment seems to have been targeted out of rash and inflammatory reaction to your comment
Your comment is logical and I believe people who don’t choose to be vеgаn shouldn’t be forced into it
I’d hoped this response to comments would have stayed on reddit but apparently not
That’s a thing? I mean, non-meat products are… well, an absolute fuckton. Obviously I know there’s stuff like gluten or fructose intolerance, allergies, etc.,but the spectrum of “things that aren’t meat” just seems too large for somebody to be incapable to live without it. Like, you would have to be absolute stacked with rare medical issues affecting your dietary options.
I wish a mother fucka would
I’m deathly allergic to chicken, turkey, tuna, ham, and a few other meats randomly. Life is so shit now. They hide meat products in literally everything. It’s FUCKED.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen meat being hidden in stuff. Milk, though? Fucking everywhere. Just 1% milk powder in everything so they can get those dairy subsidies.
Meat derivatives are in a lot of products. Seasonings, sauces, etc. can hide a lot of those. You can order like a teriyaki tofu dish, for example, and most of the time you’ll be fine. But you’ll eventually run into a variety here and there that uses dashi or oyster sauce in the ingredients. Or you get kimchi and have to worry about the same thing with fish sauce. You get a bag of BBQ potato chips, there’s a chance it contains chicken. Order a cheese pizza, the sauce may still contain tiny bits of sausage. Even a vegetable soup may still use beef or chicken stock.
Damn, maybe that’s a regional thing. You know, food regulations and stuff. I’ve definitely seen a couple examples of what you’re talking about, but I’ve never seen it as common.
