They’ve been doing it for DECADES
AMERICAN COWS ARE MUNCHING AWAY AT BUCKETS OF CHICKEN SHIT RIGHT NOW
AND IT MADE THE NEW PLAGUE
WE FED THE COWS THE BIRD DOODOO
Here’s pigs being fed plastic
“Scientifically there’s no issue,” he said. “In nature (pigs) are not very discriminating. They’ll eat whatever they can.”
PiGs HAvE beEN EaTiNg wIlD PLasTIC fOR MiLLeNiA!!
Remember all those dinosaurs that subsisted off of microplastics
it’s just natural to find plastics laying about
Dinosaurs became oil, oil becomes plastic, so dinosaurs are just plastic
The scary thing is, you just know they’re feeding this same H5N1 infected bird shit to pigs as well.
this is an amazing opportunity for everyone to simply stop eating meat
every little thing we can do to limit the harm we do to our world is worth the toil, but realize cows are abused for more than just meat
Jesus christ. Why not just feed cows, y’know, food?
Because then Porky would make $0.0001 less per pound of beef sold
get ready for the dark money campaign to reclassify bird shit as a vegetable in school cafeterias
Because the US grows actual cow food for Saudi farmers
Sometimes I wonder how many deadly epidemics would have been prevented if society had just gone vegan.
Basically all of them afaik. Most of the big epidemics spread to humans from 1. domesticated animals 2. kept in very close/tight quarters
I would give the caveat that it’s almost all diseases after the 19th century or so given that most of the epidemics before that were caused by people, like, drinking water with literal human shit in it.
To the best of my knowledge that isnt really accurate. For one, smallpox, the biggest recurring epidemic disease, is from rats. Bubonic plague is from fleas on rats drawn to cowfeed and other grains stored in large quantities. Chickenpox, cowpox etc also from livestock.
For another, the water in pre-1800s Europe was much more drinkable than is commonly assumed. You might get worms, but generally you dont see the massive outbreaks of dysentry until urban populations explode from the 1600s on. Generally pre1800s epidemics are a complex mixture of lack of nutrition and a disease transmitted from some animal, rather than just “people drank their own shit”.
Rare-cooked meat is the primary infection vector for toxoplasmsa gondii
woah really? I thought it would be cleaning litter boxes or something else involving cat feces
something like 80% of france has toxo just from steak tartare, I think they’re equally liable to infect
Unless you’re cleaning your cat’s litter box on the counter you prepare your food, nope. Eating pork is the main way that people get infected.
And carnists will still talk shit about processed plant protein like beyond meat as some kind of horrid franken-product
if you are still not vegan you’re doing some amazing mental gymnastics to live with yourself This world is going to hell if we don’t realize we share it with equals
Destroying the Amazon to grow grain for cow feed isn’t enough, huh? We have to feed them literal birdshit as well? Hey remember when that one viral tiktok came out of a dude showing all of the ground up plastic being included in pig food? It’s not enough that we obliterate entire ecosystems to keep burger prices down. That doesn’t make it cheap enough. There is no amount of barbarity and callous indifference to our world’s health that these motherfuckers won’t engage in. I hate them all
should we feed the cows the millions of potatoes farmers literally bury in pits every year
no, let us feed them chicken shit.
And vegetarians will say that milk isn’t meat
I isn’t meat. It can be horrifying for completely other reasons.
well yeah lol I wasn’t speaking literally

“Bah, they’ll be fine…We’ll just pump 'em full of more antibiotics! And yes, I’m well aware that the Flu is a virus and won’t be affected by antibiotics. But it will bulk them up fast enough to turn a profit, even with half of them dropping dead. And if things get really bad, we can just feed the dead cows back to the living. Not one thing wrong with that scheme!”
I literally called this the day the dude caught bird flu. Holy shit this whole country needs nuked, but the carbon output and radiation poisoning wouldn’t be fair to the global south.
Animal cruelty? Causing disease? And general horrors? Another thing marx talked about (quote from Saito Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism):
…Responding to…enthusiastic reports about the 'system of selection developed by English breeder Robert Bakewell, [in 1864] Marx wrote in his notebook: ‘Characterized by precocity, in entirety sickliness, want of bones, a lot of development of fat and flesh etc. All these are artificial produces. Disgusting!’
Hey, you. If you’re disgusted by this but still eating animal products this free documentary might help you make the final push.
Me personally, I’m autistic with a binge eating disorder and I used to think I could never become vegetarian, much less vegan. Pretty much all my favorite cope foods used to have meat in them and some of them were just meat. This spring marks my 3 year vegan anniversary in large part because I watched Dominion and confronted the truth with genuine curiosity. I’m not going to lie to you and say it’ll be easy. It’s a big life change. Enough of a change that people will treat you differently once they know, for better and for worse. But it is easier than it used to be even just a couple years ago and as more people become vegan there are more resources available. I would personally be willing to help you if you need any advice, and I’m sure plenty of other vegans on here would answer questions as well.
(A general abuse/mass death NSFL CW for Dominion, you will not be able to unsee the footage or watch the behind the scenes footage of actors covered in fake gore making jokes like you would with a scary movie. It’s all real.)
how do vegans get enough protein (for me, 3 servings per day of at least 20g each) without getting tired of constantly eating beans? it seems boring to the point of being depressing
this sounds like a joke but it’s unironically probably my biggest barrier to going vegan right now
Death to America
getting tired of constantly eating beans
skill issue tbh
practice cooking more and with a greater variety of flavor profiles. Pick a culture whose food you like and learn a few bean based recipes from that culture. If you like indian food, try a few different daals or curries with tofu, broccoli, cauliflower.
also, nuts exist.
edit correction:
broccoli has
about as muchmore than half the protein per calorie of tofucauliflor and brussels sprouts have similar ratios
mushrooms have
tonsalmost as much protein per calorie as tofubroccoli has about as much protein per calorie as tofu
Holy shit
according to the usda
Fried tofu has 270kcal per 100g and 18.8g of protein ~0.07g/kcal
Fried broccoli has 223kcal per 100g and 4g protein ~ 0.02g/kcal
Raw firm tofu has 144kcal per 100g and 17.3g of protein ~ 0.12g/kcal
Raw broccoli has 39kcal per 100g and 2.6g protein ~ 0.07g/kcal
The claim isnt true. While the raw numbers are fairly comparable (even then its a 70% increase from broc to tofu), no one is eating raw fucking anything. I dont disagree with the skill issue part. 20g protein is absurdly easy to get when you remember bread and pasta has like 7g protein per 100g, and the wide variety of legume based cuisunes should probably never get stale to be boring, but the idea that broccoli is a protein rich food is laughable.
Also what mushrooms have tons of protein, all mushrooms i look at have the same as broccoli!
Beech mushroom: 2g/100g
Crimini mushroom: 3g/100g
Enoki mushroom: 2.4g/100g
Maitake mushroom: 2.4g/100g
Oyster mushroom 2.9g/100g
Pioppini mushroom: 3.5g/100g
Portabella mushroom: 2.8g/100g
Shiitake mushroom: 2.4g/100g
etc etc etc
Thanks for the correction!
My memory of the protein contents of broccoli
and mushroomswas a bit exaggerated, but I maintain that for their protein contents, I’d rather eat more broccoli and mushrooms than bread or pasta.I’m no nutritional scientist or body builder, so my dietary planning is almost certainly too simple and vague to be anywhere close to optimal: keep total calories < a dynamic amount determined by vibes and how much activity I’ve done that day (on my last backpacking trip it was almost 3000kcal/day because I was walking 10+ miles a day with 30 lbs on my back, but most days it’s closer to half that) and otherwise get 80-100g of protein per day distributed as uniformly as I can throughout the day.
This is a reproduction of the spreadsheet I misremembered that I made few years ago when I started thinking more seriously about my health and nutrition:
edit: fixed an error in my calculation of oyster mushroom nutrient per kcal cells; it’s on par with whole grain bread and tofu and has more fiber than the latter
“Protein per calorie” is a bit of a cherry-picked metric, tbh. No one is eating 1000 calories of broccoli in a sitting.
No one is eating 1000 calories of broccoli in a sitting
If you are eating 3 kg of broccoli in a sitting, my hat is on the floor for you
Seitan makes a really good vegan protein as long as you don’t have a gluten sensitivity
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Ah sweet, man made horrors beyond my comprehension
Americans: “Asians are disgusting animal abusers based on this one video I saw on YouTube!”
Also Americans: “Hey cow… You want some food?”
