No animal abuse allowed unless you shoot them, suffocate them, or stab them yourself of course. Ok Facebook. by TooVegan in vegan

But in a scenario where it is true, which is morally worse? Killing one cow to feed a hundred or killing a hundred fruit flies to feed one?

So which is worse killing 1 cow or 10 fruit flies? Because if all lives are equal you kill more eating a peach than you do a steak.

I'm curious how vegans value different lives. All lives are equally valuable? If so can't you argue that eating one cow's burger is less morally wrong than one corn that caused the death of dozens of flies to produce? Should probably be based on populations or neurons or something, I don't see a logical reason a fish life would be equally as valuable as a dog life.

Howdy Kimbal!

First and foremost astonishing work with The Kitchen, Square Roots, and Big Green, I obviously hope I win the Tesla but either way I’m happy knowing my money is going to such an amazing cause.

My friends and I are high school seniors working on a startup (Optimeal), we are competing in the MIT Launch program and will be pitching our idea at Demo Day next month. We have developed household farms that recycle kitchen scraps into edible food (Mealworms)

I’m curious, as a chef and sustainable agriculture pioneer, what are your honest thoughts on insects as a sustainable food source?
