      Honestly even if we just cut out pork…this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

        Cows are social and loving, too. And don’t get me started on octopodes!

          I’m far from vegetarian but I’ve completely stopped eating octopus. Those things are freaky smart and honestly most people/restaurants can’t cook them well enough to even have a flimsy selfish justification for eating them.

            I have cut octopus entirely out of my diet as well. It helps that it was never in my diet to begin with.

        Pigs definitely are and you shouldn’t eat them, but intelligence is a weird way to judge whether a life deserves consideration.

        The only pertinent question is surely if they suffer.

      As an addition Just make sure we are leaving out the slavery sourced goods as well like avacodos and almond milk. Stop eating chocolate. Real Vanilla is completely off limits.

      Cause there’s no point in virtue signalling if your not going all the way.

        Yeah, never change or improve unless you can be perfect all the time!

        It’s crazy how defensive people get when cutting meat is suggested. Don’t even get me started on when the Internet collectively learned the phrase “virtue signalling”. Fuck me running.

          Well I mean if you’re actually going to start trying to be “good” people you might as well actually be good people on all fronts not just the ones you’re prepared for.

          Otherwise you’re just a series of half measures. Don’t be just part of something be all of it.

          And don’t kid yourself no one wants to f*** you

          Sorry pal, I have to say that unless you’re talking about the real thing that you can get in Asia, which is an amazing hot and creamy breakfast drink, soy milk is foul.

          Though almond milk is basically a fraud, mostly water and hardly any almonds. And it tastes like it, so I can see how you rated it below soy milk, even if soy milk is awful.

          If I must settle for fake milk, oat milk is where it’s at. It doesn’t have any weird off flavours, decent caloric content and is decently thick and rich. Probably the most environmentally friendly milk substitute as well because yeah, it’s just oats.

          We take it camping sometimes, as it handles the lack of refrigeration a lot better than the real thing.
