So many downvotes without any comment, seems smart.
The article actually goes into some nice detail, but people wouldn’t know that from the extremely obvious title.
OP is posting this as a narrative with a preachy agenda, and that will turn people away before they even get to the content.
It’s not really preachy, it’s a conclusion based on the data.
The title is preachy. It is correct based on the data presented, but still preachy. The title of the article is good.
The data itself is probably fine, but it’s hand picked to come to that specific conclusion. I’ve had many vegetarian Thanksgivings, and I’ve never had Mac and Cheese at one.
I didn’t downvote, but I’m so goddamn tired of them pushing responsibility onto us for something we had maybe 1% responsibility in creating. Stop suggesting a solution that accounts for .0000001% of a solution to a problem it’s becoming increasingly obvious none of the true culprits are even pretending to be interested in solving anymore. Especially when those lifestyle changes literally just translate into somehow even higher profits for the truly responsible parties.
Stop feeding us back-patting, self-congratulatory non solutions to a catastrophic problem bearing down on us while the solution we truly need is radical change brought about only through action that comes when we stop accepting a complicit comfort and exchange it for righteous anger.
Let’s see the cost difference here as well.
Vegan is expensive AF if I’m expected to like for like replace normal with vegan (ie. Vegan cheese)
I lean vegetarian because fuck living without eggs, butter and cheese lol
Personally speaking I’d do a vegetarian thanksgiving without tofurky. People try to hard to replicate meat. Just accept no meat and be done with it. It’s so much better.
For the record I’m doing a turkwy for Christmas and it will be delicious lol
I’m not a vegan and I take issue with you saying you’ll have a delicious turkey… I’m not sure such a thing exists.
That said, I DID just finish putting one in a brine…
I do turkey once a year because I am not a fan. It will be delicious to never be seen for another year lol.
I’ve become more vegetarian friendly over the years but Jesus I hate this fake meat trend. Some of us frankly don’t care about not having something that tastes like meat. I don’t want an ass beyond burger I want an awesome homemade black bean burger.
I get we are trying to encourage people who would eat meat to not eat meat but it’s really like tying your hand behind your back when it comes to enjoying your food because it will never match meat so why try?
Veggies rule.
Strong agree. I don’t want food pretending to be other food so I eat it, I just want food that tastes good.
