I hear it a lot in the south of the united states in the Bible belt, i have heard it on debates with earthling ed too.

You hear it argued in religious groups. “God gave us meat to eat so that is a reason to consume it” Another common one is something of the lines of “it is thanksgiving tradition to eat turkey” Edit: expanded my answer/ example

My position is it is mostly it is a bad thing unless we can remove the animal component to them, when we can do that i have no issue with it as a personal choice tbh, but will most likely stick to whole foods. I want a open source implementation of it though so people can make “craft lab meats” of sorts, so like small scale farming of it for people who want to avoid corporations if they want, though i doubt that is possible or will happen even if it is, though i would love that.

Yeah, i definitely went vegan for the "do no harm to others doctrine which may have come from my Christian background, i no longer follow that religion as i found most people who practice it are also doing virtue signalling of sorts

My only guess as to why they would do it seriously is that they have calculated it will be more profitable

Yeah i was looking for fact check to prove that, nothing so far though

I know this comment was made a while ago, but some people just want to eat healthy and that’s ok. Impossible is there for those who don’t care.

I don’t eat salt much so if you’re like me, you may need an iodine supplement to maintain thyroid function among a few other small things.
