But I really do dislike how much veganism-the-ideology has taken over the discussion on climate change and how to fix our foodways, for reasons that include but are certainly not limited to:

people who believe that farming animals is innately bad and unethical attributing climate change to "animal agriculture" when most of the negative impacts come from beef specifically, which makes the problem seem MUCH less solvable than it actually is.

animal rights activists and organizations have been given a seat at the table discussing how to solve climate change and biodiversity loss, when they include people that believe things like "zoos are inherently bad" "domestication is equivalent to slavery" "it's never necessary to cull overpopulated species" and "hunting is always bad"

The way we grow plant crops is SO fucked as well—nitrogen fertilizer causes so much pollution, use of pesticides and herbicides is probably the main cause of the decline of insects, we are losing topsoil way way too fast— but we have people naively proclaiming that switching to "plant based diets" is the answer

the way "veganism as Solver Of Human Problems" puts the focus and responsibility entirely on individual choice instead of changing the way food systems work. I'm sorry but people cannot personal-choice their way out of a system that is fucked by design and that they need in order to not starve

the stereotyping of farmers as evil and sadistic people who love to watch animals suffer for a profit. Who benefits

rejecting outright the idea that farming or hunting animals could ever be sustainable or acceptable on any scale when indigenous people worldwide have done it for millennia, animals have been domesticated for 12,000+ years, and not everyone can even survive on a strictly plant based diet

anti-indigenous racism

anti-indigenous racism

entangling so much energy and effort to removing all nuance and advocating a personal lifestyle change that is not possible to accomplish and/or sustain long term for most people instead of literally anything specific and effective

if you are afraid of getting older and aging you are going to be miserable your whole life because the majority of your life you sre going to spend being older than 25 btw

[wengine]

also as someone who is disabled in my early 20s the way people talk about aging is so insulting. oh you think life is only valuable when youre young and able bodied? right, so now tell me how you feel about eugenics. quickly.

[ ID: tweet by @/BeardedGenius: Fact we're in the 'Twenties' sounds so weird. It's so synonymous with the 1920s. Sounds like a bygone era when women were still fighting for their rights, the upper classes were living a life of hedonism whilst people starved, & the world was on the verge of financial ruin and war. / ID ]

You mean to tell me that if I say “mike DeWine makes me want to kill myself” i won’t be suspended?!

My plant collection is mostly propagations and small plants that needed rescuing but I love them all so much

My favorite thing about my life at the moment is that my soon-to-be brother-in-law is the apprentice for the sexton at the local cemetery; therefore I am in a unique position to make special requests about my burial. He is younger than me, after all.

I asked him to allow cat nip to be planted on my grave and to make sure the next sexton knows not to mow my catnip grave and he agreed! My grandma took me over to check on my great grandparents’ graves and there was a lovely memorial looking area. She told me it’s the mausoleum for babies and young children… so I texted my sister to have her ask if I can be buried near the babies to watch them for all eternity.

My kids children and so on and so forth will know me as the cat lady who watches over the baby mausoleum and I could not be more thankful and proud.

Something that I really can't believe (but honestly, why am I even shocked at this point?) is that one of the "facts," and it literally calls this a fact, on the World Health Organization's website about fatness is "Ob*sity is preventable."

Now if you actually look into the research, you find that weight is so determined by genetics that it is as determined by genetics as your height. It's almost entirely genetics-based. What you eat and how much you exercise affects weight very little. On top of that, history of starvation (which includes dieting) actually makes you more likely to be fat and even affects your genes so that your future descendants will be more likely to be fat.

So the World Health Organization saying that fatness is "preventable" is literally only stating a "fact" if they mean preventable by keeping anyone with fatness in their genes from procreating.

Otherwise known as eugenics.

i keep seeing thin ppl (like objectively thin) say they should be allowed to call themselves “midsized” because they have body dysmorphia so they don’t know how big they are and they “feel fat”, and something i would like y’all to consider is that fat people can have body dysmorphia too but we can’t fall back on “i don’t know how big i am!!!!!” because the world is constantly reminding us how big we are and how that means we should be treated as subhuman. no one’s saying body dysmorphia doesn’t suck but jesus christ some of y’all need perspective.
