In a world where it's tough to know what is the right thing to do and what is the wrong thing to do, we all have the wisdom to discern between what we can do to prevent immorality, and what we cannot. #bevegan

Imagine there are 2 possible worlds:
World A: we exploit and slaughter animals for unnecessary stuff.
World B: we don't exploit and slaughter animals for unnecessary stuff.
Which world is more moral?

The obvious truth is that we MUST grant rights to animals. It's so obvious when we witness the abuse of dogs, and it should be much more obvious to us that we should grant rights to farmed animals - and stop exploiting and slaughtering them. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Dog cruelty on the rise since Covid pandemic as RSPCA gets 10 calls of abuse per hour.
In 2021, the RSPCA received 92,244 reports of dog cruelty – a 16% rise in one year. Victims include French Bulldog Bruce, who was found burnt in a bush near a park in Preston, Lancs

Adoption estimates are usually made before the product is available, in order to see if it will... get adopted, so that companies don't waste their time and resources on a dud. Adoption estimates for cultivated meat are unusually high - that's a good sign. www.purdue.edu/newsroom/202...

You pay for animal abuse, admit it! You clearly think the actions in non-halal slaughter video are abusive, you said as much here you pay for it, so just admit it. Admit that your war on halal slaughter is hypocritical, and go vegan! (This is btw after you REPEATEDLY asked me to post slaughter)

And it gets even worse still: people in India might at least think they, as a nation, are kind to cows, but the rest of the animal cruelty is put on full display. So no, India is not a nation of animal lovers. In some regards, it’s worse than any other country. 11/13

In India, due to religious sentiments, cows are treated (at least in the minds of people) as if they were their mothers. This is one of the reasons that India’s consumption of dairy has grown exponentially in the past 60 years. Because it’s good to drink mother’s milk. 2/13

So dark and white chicken meats are very similar in both cholesterol and saturated fat content, I'd say to a non-significant degree, but impossible nuggets are the lowest in both. It would be beneficial for your cholesterol levels to replace all chicken with air fried impossible nuggets tbh.

Chicken dark meat nutritional facts; saturated fat - 2.5 grams, cholesterol - 88.4 milligrams.

Impossible nuggets nutritional facts; saturated fat - 1.5 grams, cholesterol - 0 milligrams.

Chicken light meat nutritional facts; saturated fat - 2.9 grams, cholesterol - 79.8 milligrams.

Lol I don't think this article is valuable, especially since there's no link or title of the study. Sorry to say - this is shit evidence.

That's simply not true. Fried foods might contribute a little bit to raised cholesterol, but not nearly as much as foods that contain dietary cholesterol, like chicken that contains 88mg. Vegans have reduced levels of LDL. Mine is 69, no chance of heart disease. scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e...

Thirty trials were included in the study. Compared with the omnivorous group, the plant-based diets reduced total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B levels with mean differences of −0.34 mmol/L (95% confidence interval, −0.44, −0.23; P = 1 × 10−9), −0.30 mmol/L (−0.40, −0.19; P = 4 × 10−8), and −12.92 mg/dL (−22.63, −3.20; P = 0.01), respectively. The effect sizes were similar across age, continent, duration of study, health status, intervention diet, intervention program, and study design. No significant difference was observed for triglyceride levels.

Damn, you almost look like a bootlicker at this point of me actually looking into this. 20% of global industrial water pollution! Wow, can you gesture a bit more about how great leather is as opposed to vegan leather?

The production of animal leather has significant environmental impacts, including pollution, hazardous waste, and high water and energy consumption. The tanning process, a critical step in leather production, involves using toxic chemicals such as chromium, which can cause pollution and health hazards. According to a report by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the leather industry is responsible for releasing 1.8 million tons of solid waste every year and over 20% of global industrial water pollution.

As opposed to THAT, mushroom leather is a staggering reduction in environmental damage

Reishi by Mycoworks is another mushroom leather. It is made by growing mycelium directly on cotton or other fabric backings, then finishing it with either a petroleum or plant-based coating. According to a peer-reviewed life cycle assessment that was published late last year, Reishi has less than 1% polymer (plastic) content, the lowest of the plant-PU hybrids.

The LCA suggests Reishi’s carbon footprint is 2.76kg per meter squared – just 8% of real leather’s average footprint, less than most alternative leathers, and on par with Pinatex. It also has a luxurious feel that is close to the real thing.

Maybe, or maybe it's synthetic latex. It's not my entire identity, you're just wrong, and pissy about it. But it made me look up pleathers, and oh some of the fake plastic vegan leather is actually recycled plastic. I'm still looking for its carbon footprint, but leather footprint is astonishing!

Carbon footprint
Estimates of the carbon footprint of bovine leather range from 65 to 150 kg of CO2 equivalent per square meter of production.[29]

Water footprint
One ton of hide or skin generally produces 20 to 80 m3 of waste water, including chromium levels of 100–400 mg/L, sulfide levels of 200–800 mg/L, high levels of fat and other solid wastes, and notable pathogen contamination. Producers often add pesticides to protect hides during transport. With solid wastes representing up to 70% of the wet weight of the original hides, the tanning process represents a considerable strain on water treatment installations.[30]
