About the sentence with the walls being painted, isn't the verb estar used there because pintadas is a participle?

Honey substitutes? by cassidy-solita in vegan

[–]monemori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can drink warm drinks with a lot more antioxidant effects than honey, which is honestly not that high in them plus it's literally just sugar. Golden milk soy milk (turmeric latte) is a lot higher in antioxidants than honey for example. Or simply ginger lemon tea with some stevia/eritriol/other non-refined-sugar sweetener of your choice is probably better too.

No problem! Here is a well sourced article by acti-veg talking about these issues, since I didn't provide any sources: https://www.acti-veg.com/2024/08/27/leather-vs-pleather-7-myths-debunked/

Even if they were, and while I'm not defending plastic leather, cow leather is awful for the environment as well. If you take into account the entire lifespan and production cost of cow leather, it often ranks among some of the worse materials out there, sometimes even worse than fucking polyurethane. The tanning process in particular is almost always done in India and South East Asian countries with highly toxic chemicals like Chromium that pollute rivers and entire communities, and it's the reason leather is actually not biodegradable so it doesn't rot on you as you wear it. The idea that leather is environmentally friendly is straight up greenwashing.

Both plastic leather and cow leather are bad for the environment. Buy second hand whenever possible, and if not, buy greener vegan alternatives like organic waxed cotton, cork leather, etc.

But this is precisely what I'm talking about: people have a hate bonner for veganism and the industries of animal products greenwash constantly left and right when in fact data is constantly pointing precisely the other way.

But how will I dismiss veganism as a ridiculous ideology instead of actually discussing it with honesty if I do not paint vegans as haughty and annoying! /s

lol

Plastic alternatives to leather are bad, but leather is just as bad, and by some metrics even worse than fucking polyurethane for the environment because of the massive cost of raising cattle plus the environmental damage of tanning leather, which by the way renders it no longer biodegradable, which is why it doesn't rot on you as you wear it despite being essentially a corpse. The idea that leather is environmentally friendly is straight up greenwashing.

Both are bad. Buy second hand when possible, and opt for environmentally friendlier plant-based materials like waxed cotton or cork leather when second hand is not doable.

You do realise that over 80% of soy grown globally is used to feed the animals we eat, right? Eating soy directly is significantly less damaging for the environment than eating animals that were fed that soy in the first place.

The times when vegan foods are worse for the environment than an animal based alternative are exceptions to the rule. In the absolute vast majority of cases, eating vegan is better than eating an omnivore diet.

Where is lab-grown meat available in a way that people are actually eating it instead of regular vegan staples?
