    Yea meat is being heavily subsidised to bring the cost down, but in reality you pay with your tax money. Also plant based stuff is differently taxed (at least here in germany). Cow milk has a 7% tax and soy milk 19%. There is so much groing wrong because of lobbying by the meat companies.

    Meat is just an extra costly step to produce the food we consume. Instead you could just skip that part and it would be less expensive.

      There’s so many other equally or even more important issues with how taxes are used, or misused, than just the meat industry.

        Yes add animal cruelty to on top of that + health issues with meat consumption. Many good reasons to not eat meat and support that terrible buisiness.

          There’s a lot of issues that are much higher on my list of priorities than animal cruelty in the meat industry.

          “Health issues with me at consumption” is a poor distillation of something that requires a lot more nuance.

            Meat industry is also a big player in climate change. Another issue if you need more :) I don’t really know what your priorities are but maybe this is important to you.

            Well meat consumption is linked to many health issue, include the higher risk of cancer. But of course it also depends on the dosis but really not many people think about how much meat they consume.

            The amount of mental gymnastics you have to go through here is insane. I feel sorry for your two overworked brain cells being forced to type all these comments lmao

              What a truly sad and pathetic existence you must have to find joy in trying to insult people on the internet. I hope you find the help you clearly desperately need.

                  It’s fsck, which is a reference to a Linux command for filesystem check

                  It seems you showed that your perception of me is likely based on a false pretense.

                    That’s a pretty solid name actually. Props where it’s due. But I’m still right about you. The mods are just as insecure about that too apparently
