Turned? Wasn't like that for the last 47 years?

I helped switch my 88 years old grandma to Mint a few months back when her laptop started to run painfully slow. I don't think she understands that I changed her OS but she is happy with "whatever I did to her laptop", now her laptop runs much faster and 0 problems so far for her needs, very simple needs but she actually uses it a lot!

No worries, that's what re-education summer camps are for.

OMG I thought you were shitting us but it may be true: https://www.bbc.com/...

Now I have to find a way to cultivate these.

Hey I want to humanely kill you for my weekends bbq with friends, it's okay if I come this afternoon for you?

I've seen this question asked a lot for this specific brand on Reddit.

I'll just copypaste one answer given a few weeks ago from someone called "goosie7":

General Mills guidelines on labeling:

Vegetarian: General Mills vegetarian products may contain dairy, egg and bee products (e.g. honey, bees wax). They shall not contain ingredients of other animal origin (mammalian, poultry, fish, crustacean, mollusk, insect) including additives. This is also known as Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian. Microbial derived ingredients (e.g. enzymes) and small amounts of animal-derived ingredients that do not require the harming of an animal (for example, Vitamin D derived from sheep’s wool) are acceptable. NOTES: Prohibited ingredients include but are not limited to: gelatin and carmine. In addition, we ensure that the food label does not include a cross-contact allergen label for fish, crustacean or mollusk.

Vegan: General Mills vegan products shall not contain any ingredient of animal origin (mammalian, poultry, fish, crustacean, mollusk, insect) and shall not contain any animal derivatives (dairy, egg and bee products) including additives and processing aids. Microbial derived ingredients are acceptable (e.g. enzymes). NOTES: Prohibited ingredients include but are not limited to: sugar processed through bone char, L-cysteine hydrochloride processed from human hair or duck feathers, carmine and vitamin D3 derived from sheep’s wool. In addition, we ensure that the food label does not include a cross-contact allergen label for fish, crustacean or mollusk.

It's most likely sugar processed with bone char, which according to them is vegetarian but not vegan.

Seems that I'll finally reach my weight-loss goals and beyond without any effort!

Yes, but nothing actually changed then. Like you said it was an election by clerics, it just happened that they decided to choose his son.

If it is not a problem to share, which country it is?

In my country (Spain) where meat and animal abuse is so deeply ingrained in our culture everyone looks at me like if I was retard or something. I always thought that the situation was similar everywhere else so I'm curious.

I'd love them to be vegan just to make our lives easier but I'm kind of used to since all my friends are meat eaters anyway. I'm just getting back to the market after breaking a long term relationship with a vegetarian, so I'm not sure yet where to put my boundaries, it is said that the 0,7% of the population in my country is vegan, so I may die single looking for a vegan partner.

I knew that our friends from shroomery already made that question on trying to cultivate them: https://www.shroomery.org/...

A tl;dr is that it is almost impossible at home and seems that no one ventured there yet. You'll have to make an expedition to the far east to find the answer for your questions yourself. Good luck!

Yeah I had the same question but I guess that this very specific language just answers it, it does not include leather and why not? because money like always. There is a huge market on leather.

This is great news anyway, and it could be the first step to include leather one day.

I guess it appears in the local Lemmy.world feed which is followed by much more random people and a bigger audience, while solarpunks are mostly people who care about ecology.

Slrpnk.net for a happy safe place and Lemmy.world to fight and shitpost with carnists.

The second one can be useful in certain contexts, after all we have a message to share with the world, even if we get shunned by it.

In which cases exactly they are free of suffering? I can't understand how you can believe that.

I mean have you seen the automated shakle line before the electric stun bath? Can you imagine yourself being put on this while someone tells you "no worries, you are not suffering"

You can see it in video I shared before, the whole process is shown, from birth to death.

I can tell you that it was really hard to make that connection for me. 5 long years since I was first introduced to vegetarianism, a shroom trip, watching Dominion and Earthlings multiple times, the book "Tender is the flesh", and a course on generating compassion. I really made an effort to make the connection happen because I was convinced that it was the right thing but still I loved meat and couldn't say no to it, and the memories of the slaughtered animals were there too.

When my brain finally clicked I couldn't see meat as food anymore and went vegan, but meanwhile I couldn't stop wanting it, and not thinking too much about the issue while eating was easy.

I feel there's more to it for the whole issue. A strong attachment to the taste of meat is one. I have a friend that stopped being vegan and I'm sure the reason is this attachment too. And it is really hard to see it because there are a lot of mechanisms trying to convince you that it is not attachment. And I feel that this attachment kills the compassion/empathy.

I'm not 100% sure about it but I think my brain finally clicked when I was doing this compassion course. So maybe it was having a low empathy for animals the problem after all. But that was something hidden for myself, if you asked me back then about animals, I would tell you the typical bullshit about me loving animals and so forth. It was a lie that I believed myself. And that's something to be aware of because I think most of the people are on the same page.

Just showing how much power the meat industry has over the EU, and whole world.

Wow thank you for such a great response!

I love India with all my heart, I've already been there 3 times, but only on the northern area. And yes at least from a vegan perspective it was a paradise in comparison with my country where from the article being a "chameleon" is a basically a need to not isolate yourself.

The areas I've been were mostly Buddhists and yeah it hurts seeing how many Buddhists just don't care when the Mahayana teachings basically tells you go vegetarian at very least. But I'm glad that it worked for the Hindus, a funny thing, I didn't know that! Well I didn't know most of what you said, makes me want to go back again hehe

Regarding the minimally unethical are you sure about that?

Like do you know what happens to the male born chicks? Or what happens to the hens that stop giving eggs? Or in what conditions do they live? And about dairy, do you know what happens to male born calves? And what happens with the cow when she stops producing milk? And how the cow feels when their children are taken from her?

My friend, eggs and dairy are even more brutal that meat industry, which they are the same industry by the way.

But you won't get emotional nor make a drama about it, right?

It will be painless and you will be gone with a smile in your face knowing that your body parts will serve a purpose to make my friends happy for a while in my great BBQ!
