If we could replace that system with something healthier for the planet, and our species, we would stand to benefit.

So you agree we should replace animal agriculture with plant based agriculture?

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

Yes (with some exceptions like eggs, milk, and other animal products like wool).

It makes sense environmentally. I would change my mind on this if there was some need to eat meat that couldn't be replaced by a vegetarian diet. I don't see the point in eating them, though.

It's not going to change until it becomes more lucrative/economical to do so, though, of course.

Eggs and milk are not healthy for humans to consume and require atrocity to produce. What is the point in your confusion?

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

I thought eggs were pretty healthy as a protein source. I'm not sure about milk but I assumed it was helpful for the same reasons.

With eggs, if unfertilized eggs aren't eaten, they'll go to waste anyway. Why not eat them while we try to downsize animal-based factory farming?
