If it could be proven that one diet caused significantly more suffering than another, ethical vegans would change it; indeed as the evidence shows, we have. Meat eaters should question their own sincerity when discussing livestock suffering

@BreezyPinkPony It's great you are thinking about chickens! Free range is better, but it's worth looking up their lives, like what happens to male chickens. Avocadoes are a great replacement for eggs if you are having them on toast, and in baking there are quite a few egg replacers available.

Perpetual material growth is a recipe for environmental destruction, but given that ballooning wealth beyond basic material needs fails to increase societal happiness, maybe this opportunity to rethink well-being beyond surrounding ourselves with more inanimate goods is a gift.

I believe in the motivational power of capitalism, but not enough to watch it take down the natural world whilst we cheer it on from the sidelines.

I get mail.
I'm accused of being a "wanker". I looked it up:
"a person who masturbates"
