A West Valley farm and one of the largest egg producers in the U.S. confirmed on Friday that it has lost nearly its entire chicken population in Arizona due to bird flu and will be forced to reduce staff.
Look, we can debate meat vs vegan till we all go blue in the face. If you want humans to get off using real meat, we need an alternative that tastes like meat and costs the same/less. It’s as simple as that.
This makes an excellent argument for pursuing lab-grown meat. I do just fine on plant-based meat alternatives and traditional plant-based proteins (e.g. beans). But some people have allergies or other conditions that make this more difficult.
I have IBS, GERD, anemia, & food allergies. I’ve seen medical professionals over the years and their recommendation is to eat anything & everything I can that won’t make me sick. I pretty much eat the same thing nearly everyday & most vegan protein sources make me sick.
That sucks and is a pretty common “gotcha” to justify the continued mistreatment and murder of animals. Lucky for you you were born the right kind of animal whose comfort and life in general somehow out weighs your dinner’s.
Nut allergies can indeed kill people. It’s just so weird that whenever meat eating comes up it’s always met with these same “arguments”. You can eat whatever you want. I can’t change someone’s mind with facts or answers to questions or anything when that person doesn’t want facts or answers. If you can know how animals are mistreated for you to have a burger or eggs and live with yourself, your diet is the least of your problems.
Humans don’t need meat or meat substitutes though.

100% agreed. Ethics won’t win this war. It’s all about cost and convenience. Most people are looking at their personal bottom line.
Yes, some of us do. Not everyone’s body is made to thrive on a vegan diet. Many of us are medically unable to not eat meat.

I’m all for lab grown meat as well and hope it’s affordable & safe within my lifetime.
Interesting. What sort of medical conditions require eating meat?

You think they are using their medical condition to “gotcha” you?
That’s just sad dude.
It is sad, and vegan haters do it all the time.
Probably ones that need protein
From a nutrients stand point you can get all that from non meat sources.
What has protein in it, other than nuts and beans?
Why are nuts and beans disqualified from being protein sources?
Holy strawman Batman!
I didn’t say they were. I’m asking what else is a source of it.
Nut allergies are a real thing that can kill people though
