    Take a look at the Cargill family, 14 billionaires. From the wiki about the current CEO:

    In 2019, former U.S. Congressman Henry A. Waxman, in a report by Mighty Earth, called Cargill “the worst company in the world” and noted that it drives “the most important problems facing our world” (deforestation, pollution, climate change, exploitation) “at a scale that dwarfs their closest competitors.”

    Do you think that is because they use every cent to burn coal and oil in their backyard, or

    do you think it is because they produce and sell products to consumers which can not be produced without harm to the environment?

    99% of the planet could produce zero pollution for the rest of our lives and it wouldn’t even make a dent in the amount of pollution created by the billionaire class.

    How do you think they would create that damage to the environment if nobody would buy their products?









  • You asked for reasons

    Why, pray tell, are you insistent on diluting the clarity of that label? Is it so aesthetically pleasing to you that you just cannot help yourself but enjoy it even though you don’t want to have to do anything with meat?

    And I gave reasons

    it is for those who want to stop supporting the destruction of the planet and the murdering of billions of sentient beings for their pleasure.

    Your cognitive dissonance fries your brain.


  • I tried very hard to have this discussion without getting into ethics,

    It is for people who want to proclaim superior morality

    You go into it. Not me.

    Tell me what part of which animal “Steak” is and show me there are no variants and you win.

    It is not only steak, it is milk where the industry lobbied hard to prevent the use even though plant milk is older than the milk of other species.

    Are you cognitively capable of looking at those latter two terms without moralising? If yes, why not the the previous two?

    You are the one who brought up moral, maybe that is a you problem you should take care of without projecting.



  • Well, I guess it shows that some people learn only shapes instead of reading.

    Still unclear who was killed, maybe there are some more shapes around? They indicate what Animal it was, you know there is more than one?

    Now imagine if you will, we could use that space where it says “pig” and replace it with “saitan” for example? Mind blown, if you put 2 or more of these cryptic runes together we can transport more information.

    I don’t care much for it, it is for those who want to stop supporting the destruction of the planet and the murdering of billions of sentient beings for their pleasure. It makes it easier for them if they don’t have to change too much.


  • Yes, I think I advocated here alone two to three times for that and I will stay by your side if you do demand that.

    We could make it easier for all with a “animal product” label but at the moment it is only the animal industry which is lobbying for restrictive product names.

    If you don’t want to then legislate for a label like the (V)egan label and put it on all products made from animals, I would still support you.

    I am all in for clear description of food and a big label if it contains animal suffering and the destruction of the eco system or if it is plant based.





  • I’m all for veganism and vegetarianism. And for plant based products. I also like to fuckong know what I am buying without having to dissect it.

    Then go vegan and learn how you have to truly dissect food and read the ingredients to find if it contains something like pig bone powder.

    If you don’t want to then legislate for a label like the (V)egan label and put it on all products made from animals, I would still support you. Telling a vegan how hard it is to read ingredients is weak.
