11 months agoIt’s more complicated IMO. While I was initially pro-plant based diets, I noticed that a disproportionate number of vegans suffer from loss of skin elasticity, a pallid complexion, and sunken eyes. Yes, it’s superficial, but it’s a sign that vegan diets are missing an important part of our required dietary intake. It reminds me of the debacle around infant formula, where researchers didn’t know that DHA was necessary for human development until 2003, which meant that formula-fed children born before 2003 were stunted. I simply don’t feel comfortable sacrificing my well-being for the well-being of other animals, at least until lab-grown meats become available.
I am sending my most evil prayers to Rupert Murdoch and its wretched company. May they adopt AI and lose their fan base.
