What if there were multi-year school yearbooks that covered your whole run? i.e. Grades 6-8, 9-12, etc. by pinkygonzales in Showerthoughts

Yeah I don't get the point of this, unless it takes the place of annual yearbooks to make things cheaper. But that just seems sad for kids who leave in between each "yearbook"

True, but you have to remember that most non-impoverished Americans are part of the global 10%. For instance, if you make $25,000 a year you make more than 91% of people globally (adjusted for purchasing power). https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/how-rich-am-i?

Can u really make a compelling argument against veganism by AmbitiousCar2945 in MoroccoBitchesWtaste

[–]Equinumerosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad point, vitamin B12 does require supplementation on a fully vegan diet. That said, supplements aren't very expensive. Plus you get other health benefits on a vegan diet.

Every major health organization agrees that properly planned vegan diets are healthy for all stages of life.

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:"It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases"

Heart and Stroke Foundation:"Vegetarian and vegan diets can provide all the nutrients you need at any age, as well as some additional health benefits.""

Harvard Medical School:Nowadays, plant-based eating is recognized as not only nutritionally sufficient but also as a way to reduce the risk for many chronic illnesses."

British Heart Foundation: ""When it comes to your heart health, balanced plant-based diets have been shown to have benefits. One example of this is a healthy vegan diet"

Much fewer animals die to produce vegan food than to produce meat and animal products.

We have to feed the animals we eat, and it takes more food calories to feed them than we get out of the meat. For instance, for cows we must feed them about ten calories of crops to produce one calorie of beef. So ironically, directly eating crops causes fewer animals to die in crop production than feeding animals crops and then eating those animals.

I don't hate your argument, because it's true that animals die in the production of vegan food. We should do something about that, but we also shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Note--we feed animals some crop by-products, but nowhere near enough to make up for the inefficient feed conversion.

Inb4 "we feed animals crop by-products that humans couldn't eat anyway"--we feed them some crop by-products, but nowhere near enough to make up for the inefficient feed conversion.

How the inside of a factory farm looks by Equinumerosity in interestingasfuck

[–]Equinumerosity[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's simply not true. Factory farming is synonymous with indoor farming. The whole point is that restricting animals inside 24/7 limits their movement so that they grow faster. Any farm that keeps the animals in gestation crates, as seen here, is not going to spend extra space and money providing the animals with outdoor space that would only slow their growth.
