   My take on veganism:
   
   I've watched a lot of docs on the meat processing industry and the thing I get stuck on (chickens for example) are so genetically messed up that the "food chickens" we have grow so fast their bones actually snap under their weight.
   
   Essentially, 100s of thousands of birds are genetically modified through selection where they simply couldn't survive in the wild or even survive into adulthood.
   
   Like the horror that is going onto with the animals is objectively awful, however it seems like if we stop eating meat, millions of animals will die and we would lose tons of animals simply because of the selective breeding process has primed them to only be food sources.
   
   I don't think veganism in an effort for ethical animal treatment is bad, however the animal treatment is so bad, is cutting out meat actually a solution?

     Quite a narrow take on veganism there, pretty much just what the militants use the term for. Animal rights activism took over a dietary classification, to the extent that if you wear leather shoes or a trenchcoat you'll get ostracized from those groups as fast as if you ate a steak infront of them.
     
     It isn't just birds, basically all livestock animals and their produce are filled with tons of shit that's not great for you. From hormones to antibiotics, we've strayed too far from hunting wild beasts for food for it be healthy anymore. Then again, crops have a similar treatment and are nutritionally hollow as fuck. Sidenote, I love when the anti-soy types rant about beans but then say how much they love eating meat. Nigger that's got way more estrogen in there than some beans, which the science is still iffy on whether it even translates into affecting human estrogen levels. Consuming mammal estrogen though? Yeah, that shit translates to us.
     
     Is it a solution? No. Because they've attached their ideology to it so much that the term vegan comes with too much baggage to spread very far. It's too inherently political now. But short of terrorism, there's very little more you can do than vote with your wallet so 🤷♂️. It won't matter anyway in the longterm, resources are thinning under exponentially increasing population densities and future generations likely won't have access to meat.

     @Tony If you read everything i want to do is illegal you would understand more about this. But basically local farms are impossible, especially the meat aspect. If everyone had access to local farms these would be much less of a problem.
