Keep learning, including learning how to write well.

You’re providing no references, no context, no phrasing. Whoever gave you an upvote must’ve been high on something.
This is incorrect, a common “gotcha” from carnists.
Sugar as a product is mainly of two types: (sugar)cane sugar and beet sugar. Beet sugar doesn’t use bones during refining. The US also has an USDA Organic label for cane sugar which should be bone free.
For Americans: https://ordinaryvegan.net/nutrition/vegansugar/ and https://www.peta.org/faq/are-animal-ingredients-included-in-white-sugar/
And, yes, there are plant-based alternatives for cow bones in that process.
There are also other sugars, perhaps more heavy on the fructose side, from other plants. Famously for the US: corn syrup.
It’s the same way we feel about sweatshops or slave labor or child labor or the general exploitation of workers. The vast majority of humans don’t want other humans to suffer, and most humans are at least aware that a child died to bring them that chocolate bar. That doesn’t stop people from buying chocolate or fast fashion or bacon cheeseburgers.
No, it’s not the same. Simple difference that even you can grasp:
injustice now a just alternative is possible sweat shops sweat shops exists in many forms, humans paid terribly, if at all sweat shops can be abolished, workers can be paid well and work in safe environments, it’s doable animal harming industry the industry exists in many forms, at many scales and intensities no, there’s no way to get animal ‘products’ in a just way, especially not within a system

Ah, so similar to “clean coal”…

uh… not the right word in that case.
“Repeating that mistake would further erode public trust and squander valuable public funds,” warns MP Elaine Stewart.
That’s an apt description of the car system problems.

No. You don’t get a license to kill others with your car in order to survive.
sabotage
the correct term here. If they don’t understand parking, they should not have a driving license. If they do, it’s intentional.
Her journey to veganism began at 17, sparked by a profound ethical awakening. “I actually wanted to defend the animal cause because I watched a lot of videos on the conditions of slaughter breeding and I didn’t want to contribute to this suffering so I decided to stop eating meat and doing all the things that can make animals suffer,” Berva explains.

The correlation is not without causation.
You can’t change the cows or the microbiome in any meaningful way, the methanogens are part of the digestive and nutrient extraction process. They can play with the food and sprinkle in selective antibiotics, but that usually leads the cows suffering or just not being “productive” enough. Now if you want to give some special feed to deer to make them produce less GHGs, that would be something interesting.
They can’t reduce “Dairy’s Climate Impact”. The greenwashing is over, that was meant to delay changes by “moderate” regimes. With conservatives in power, the greenwashing is no longer necessary. The only significant reduction is achieved by reducing the industry, the more shrinkage, the better.

I hope that there will still be literacy in the word to allow access to historical records.
Good. The Sierra Club needed to dump its ecofash faction. I’m not going to read NYT, they’ve been complicit in horrible shit for a century, I have zero respect for them.
