The world's pretty absurd. I'd like avoid participating in the absurdity as best as I can.
It's pretty absurd that we impregnate cows just to milk them.
It's pretty absurd that we slaughter pigs who have intelligence on par with three-year-old children.
It's pretty absurd that 80% of agricultural land is used for livestock even though 83% of our calories come from plant-based foods.
It's pretty absurd that our cattle herds are so large that they produce multiple gigatonnes of greenhouse gases from their digestion alone.
It's pretty absurd that we've bred chickens to lay 29 times more eggs per year than their wild counterparts.
It's pretty absurd that we do all of this at subsidized, unsustainable, industrial levels.
It's pretty absurd that we do this mostly for pleasure, taste, and tradition, not necessity. Especially when the vast majority of us have access to perfectly viable and often delicious alternatives.
