re: so-called ‘vegan anarcho-primitivism.’

there are over 15 essential nutrients you cannot get without animal foods. the vegan liver feeds off its own b12 in a span of about 5-10 years. then comes the crash. warning: a b12 deficiency of such a lengthy nature causes permanent problems that are irreversible. so, before you give out this moral positions disguised as health guidelines to other people...be advised!

i recall reading in anthropology tribes going to their doctors for regular b12 injections...nowhere.

much of what we see not just in supplements (for vegans they’d be chemically derived synthetic analogues with poor absorption rates) but species of fruits and vegetables: they’re entirely modern man made creations? had broccoli? had brussel sprouts? both are several vegetables originating as ‘mustard plant.’ wild banana had seeds before being bred for their sugar content.

fruits and vegetables aren’t great for everyone. they often contain anti-nutrients.

ps, there’s such a thing as regenerative agriculture. people are doing it now, proving it gives rise to net carbon sinks. before our current society there were 70 million bison doing this naturally in NA. What was the problem with their burps again?

veganism kills far more animals due to mono-cropping (which more of the earth is suitable as pastured grasslands, and the UN projects 60 more cycles of growing methods), needing to displace humans and other creatures, spray pesticides and herbicides, and grind up trillions of insects and animals come harvest.

give me a fourth generation vegan. it hasn’t happened.

maybe we could focus on doing more at the granular, local level. what drives the need for the 16 cargo ships, which pollute as much as all the cars in the world combined?
