paywall bullshit

It is not minimizing harm in the way you can't hear a plant scream. That's the same logic people had about fish. This is a foolish and irresponsible way to think of consciousness.
I will agree it is minimizing harm on environment however we have much room to improve even on that standard.
Like not burning crops simply because it doesn't make money.
Depends on what you are basing your morals on.
If it is about producing less waste and consumption, it is moral in that humans consume less vegetation than a cow would and therefore less toiling of the earth.
But on a conscious level it is the same. Either meat or plant is just as conscious as the other.
at least eating meat: consumers are at least admitting to the suffering they are committing on another conscious being and have the humility to acknowledge as much while they also acknowledge they require to eat to continue to survive in human form. this is what it means that existance is the cause of suffering. regardless of what you consume.
The type of vegans who refuse to acknowledge plants as a conscious being for no other reason that a plant cannot run away or make noise to 'prove' their consciousness to them and then have the audacity to turn around and judge others. i believe that to be immoral and unethical as well as emotionaly manipulative and deeply disassociated to the encumberance of life.
Eating plant based: while it is healthier, it is better treatment to the earth itself by consuming less but i would not be fooled into thinking there is a moral high ground in consuming consciousness to be looking down on anyone else.
Having to have a job just to get nourishment or a place to sleep shouldn’t be the game
If people can hoard money well beyond this need and could house an entire nation on what 1% make, capitalism as a necessity to survive is a lie.
Eat the rich.
