Ah, I definitely understand her choice. Imo the biggest downside to being a plant eater is that I lose the joy of testing most local cuisines, and it's a hassle to get good protein in smaller towns. Always have protein powder with me when traveling so that I can guarantee protein intake even if I just eat fries all day. It's the worst aspect now that I think of it.

I can only hope that local cuisines develop plant-friendly choices alongside them so that this isn't an issue in the future.

Do you have any studies to back your claims?

I hadn't thought of this, just tried in an convection oven and I think I found a new recipe (still needs perfecting). Thanks!

Ah I failed to notice that we were talking about decisions on a company level. Sure, it will devolve into AI vs AI.

> Add to that the tendency of people to take the solution that's easy in the moment, and not the long term best option, and yes, I think a lot of people will outsource their thinking.

Hmm I don't agree with this, many people will want to live instead of longevitymaxxing like Bryan Johnson.

> The world we're heading to seems like a hell.

We agree.

haha first time I'm called that nice. Might be so. Nevertheless I believe that kind of attitude won't bring change and will sow divisiveness instead of co-operation. Food for thought.

Yeah we people are so different. Why she started eating meat again, was it part convenience so you could share the same foods?

I get your point but your comment is why people hate us vegans. Stop it.

I don't travel by plane, live in a urban center without a car, am vegan and buy everything used. Not all vegans are performative. But that's not the point.

Growing soy crop to feed the animals that are then fed to humans is simply unoptimized, you can just grow soy crop for humans to eat and get rid of magnitudes of pollution. That is a fact.

You can just pop a pill once a day and not care about those.

Also your sister in law hasn't been well informed - it's a known fact that vegetarian diets have less iron in them, and women especially should take an iron supplement because of menstruation combined with the diet. But it's just one pill.

I think it's just a matter of adapting, I was a meat eater for 22 years of my life and nowadays can't stand the taste of meat. Tofu tastes awesome when done well.

Buuuut people are different, and I could be an outlier. I just think there's more propaganda to it than people realize, especially currently with fitness influencers boosting meat consumption.

I don't know as I'm not a native speaker, probably not, but I ate meat for 22 years and that included good fine dishes as well. Yet I have been able to find good vegetarian recipes that bring me as much joy as the meat did, but in different ways of course.

Until recently I was strictly against having kids because of the world climate, both weather and political. But then my partner wanted them and I couldn't stand the notion of losing her, so I was able to compromise on my ideals.

But yeah without her, definitely.

But according to his post it makes a difference? "Why should I care because they are polluting on the other side of the planet?"

It's unfortunate we can't call a local agency to fix their attitude, but at least we can do our part. What it's worth if you don't even try?

> Yet the same people usually think that preventing the Earth from heating up, which is a problem on a similar scale, can be achieved with a bit of recycling, eating less meat and cycling to work.

No this is propaganda that fossil fuel companies have successfully imposed on us, that it's the consumers' fault when a large part of the pollution comes from the industrial side. But consumers have leverage in regards to industries - if they stop buying meat, the polluting meat industry would decrease and help solve this problem.

Also what do you suggest? It seems that you are implying that because we can't stop it now, we don't need to focus on the problem and can let it grow even higher?

If you see a neighbour with an untidy lawn does it make you want to give up keeping your lawn clean?

What's the point of this? You would need to take care of the pigs and have all the infra for that (fixed costs), and tofu still wins?

This is just alien thinking to me and probably many others. You are saying that you are willing to submit your whole agency to an AI because it makes better decisions? What makes the life worth living then?

Ah responded elsewhere already, but sucks that you weren't able to afford a guitar at a young age.

> So I had to prioritise other skills

Do you think prioritizing those skills and music could have coexisted? Why not? Why does learning to play instruments take away from that?
