How does it affect multi-family housing (e.g. apartment buildings)? And is this considered a problem, or is it only buying SFH that is the issue?

"Plants feel pain" is an argument that supports a plant-based diet because it is more efficient to consume plants directly than to feed them to animals.

This is an argument in favor of plant-based diets, since it results in fewer plants being eaten

Minimizing harm to others and harm to the environment is more ethical than not minimizing harm to others and harm to the environment

Other way around. Not comparing slaves to animals, comparing animals to slaves.

What is worse, living and then dying, or not living at all?

Laughs in antinatalist

More commonly, I think people would base this on quality of life. An animal being born to spend its entire life in a tiny, disgusting cage in generally deplorable conditions doesn't make the cut by any reasonable standard.

People seem to focus on the ills of the dairy industry when talking about vegetarians, but the egg industry is particularly egregious.

They use a different point of reference

However, I appreciate your mathematical explanation

Final thought: the best way to decrease meat consumption is to make the alternatives easy to prepare and alluring to more of the population.

I learned long ago that ethics won't win out. It comes down to cost and convenience. Alternatives need to be cheap and easy.

A lot of that "destroyed food" is animals who lived their entire lives in tiny, filthy cages just so that they could be killed and rot in a plastic bag.

Disturbed's cover of "Sound of Silence." I like the original Simon & Garfunkel, or at least the more upbeat version of it. And I like Disturbed (see below). But this cover absolutely blows.

Yes, I know the lead singer is a grade A shitbag. I liked the band long before I knew anything about any of it and have since stopped listening to them.

Hypermarket? How does that compare to a supermarket?

I guess I'm part of the 1 in 3. It is no longer in danger of failing because it has already failed.

We live in an absolutely disgusting world.

Just about everything that the U.S. accuses other nations of doing, it is also guilty of.

Opinions regarding preferences don't need to be backed by anything. I don't like the color puce but couldn't say "why"

I would describe it more as a kakistocracy
