    Non-human animals are more important than humans exactly in the same way your sibling is more important than a rando in another country.

    The fact you’d pick your sibling before a stranger in a trolley problem doesn’t mean you get to exploit, abuse, mistreat them or shoot them for a burger. Same goes for non-human animals.












  • No, it’s not all paid by our taxes, we literally have to pay insurance which is co-paid by our employer. The healthcare is universal because it’s mandatory to have insurance. If you’re unemployed you have to pay the full insurance yourself which is mind-boggling to me. The system is more similar to the US than true universal healthcare, because healthcare actors are private companies, doctors, and clinics getting reimbursed by insurances and the government.



  • When vegans promote a whole food, plant based diet: “I will only switch when there are drop-in meat and dairy replacements”

    Ok then I guess we’ll develop drop-in meat replacements: “why emulate meat? So processed!”

    It’s amazing if you’re into WFPB, it’s one of the healthier diets out there. You’re just not the target consumer of these meat replacements. But they’re useful for some people to have a better choice. They’re usually not unhealthier than the animal-based product they aim to replace (see meta analysis ).
