Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

They don't give a fuck about minimizing suffering, they gladly eat food grown by slaves, or overconsume things some communities rely on, or replace things made of leather with things made of plastic that'll break down into microplastics. They force their shit into pets like cats who can't thrive on a vegan diet. And that's assuming they don't just call you a nazi for even having a pet, or steal your pet from you so they can kill it. And ofc they're just the most holier than thou pieces of shit anywhere, who think everyone who isn't vegan is literally as bad as a fascist.

Yall are weird. Really weird. And you don't have to be this harmful. Quit getting even more plastic shit, stop abusing pets, quit taking food from indigenous people who need it. You can minimize animal products without replacing them with even worse things, and failing to do so makes you just as much of an irredeemable fascist as the rest of us. Human suffering is not preferable to animal suffering. If you disagree, you are literally a sociopath

they are promoting a healthy lifestyle, without realizing they have been hijacked by the food industry, who wants to sell incredible high margin junk food at meat prices.

for this to work, you have to convince a population that eats meat today, that meat is unhealthy. they dont care about ethics or enviroment. and vegans are so few that they dont matter at all as a customer base.

so you convince regular people that the reason for their dementia, obesity and diabetis is meat.

then you can sell them stuff made out of seed oils and what not, without having a farmer involved and all the subsequent cost of a living herd, butcher factory and what have you. the production chain is shorter now, and much more affordable.

and the argument why it is the same price or much more expensive then meat is:

research and development costs. get out of my face. you need a middle sized kitchen with special equipment, a lab, 3 chemical dudes, and someone who taste tests the product. and food companies do have this stuff anyway.

all the while people get fat and more unhealthy, well, i am glad they will stop eating meat, that must be a gamechanger in regard of their health.
