A new trend within the vegan community is to pardon ultra-processed foods, probably because many vegans enjoy ultra-processed foods (stricter adherence to plant-based diets equates to higher UPF consumption). The mental gymnastics!

GMO field corn, also called ‘cow corn’ because it’s primarily grown for livestock feed. Field corn: high-starch & low-sugar content means it’ll never taste good. Pesticide residues allowed on animal feed crops are more than 100x that allowed on grains consumed directly by humans.
I guess u haven’t seen the 1000 sq mile dead ocean called the Gulf of Mexico off the Mississippi Delta which has little to no life due to pesticide, herbicide, & fertilizer overload coming off the agricultural fields of the breadbasket of America. That’s what it takes to grow…

Think about what humans do to other animals. It’s the “othering” that enables violence. The practice of “othering” establishes unequal relationships of power where it is then used to justify physical domination.

These fires are driven by animal exploitation. Second largest fire in state history. In the Panhandle, known as the “Beef Capital of the World,” CAFOs can use up to 8.5 million gallons of groundwater per day. 90% of Texas’ feedlot cows are raised in the Panhandle.
Notice the not-so-lush green fields of grass & happy cows. They are sensitive, it is sad to see them run like this. Notice how they stay together though? I’ve seen herds of cows do the same through floods. We shouldn’t be breeding non-native animals to suffer through climate.
