A particularly annoyingly evangelizing vegan colleague of mine got me wondering what exactly the end plan for these people is.

Presumably they want everyone on the planet to go vegan.

Okay, did the math and growing the world's densest (most calories per acre) crop, potatoes, on every acre of the world's arable land you could more than achieve the majority of the nutrition side of things.

You'd still have to deal with the B12 issue (the required human nutrient that potatoes lack), which depending on your level of veganism could be a problem since there are only three sources of B12: meat, dairy, and pills and the contents of the pills is bacterial cultures so that might be a no go, I don't know. Maybe that's fine.

We'll ignore for the moment the distribution issues of getting those spuds to people in non-arable areas.

So say you've completely solved the nutrition problem of being vegan.

How do you plan to open up the arable land currently used for animal production (roughly 75% of currently arable land is currently used for grazing) and what do you plan to do with the existing animals? Being vegan, you can't kill them or harm them in any way, so you can't sterilize them either. So they're just going to keep breeding with no culling other than natural deaths.

In the US alone, we have an estimated 308 million commercial laying hens. Each producing roughly an egg a day. At the moment, with the majority of those eggs going to stores to be consumed as eggs, the US has a fertilization rate of 13%. Even if that didn't climb after egg eating was stopped, that means 40 million fertilized eggs a day. If even 5% of those hatch, that's 2 million chicks after the first 20-21 days of this.

If we aren't eating or killing them, that's a problem.

And since the larger the predator, the longer the gestation time and smaller the number of offspring in a breeding period is a general reality, we are hosed on chickens alone if everyone just stops eating them because there won't be enough predators in the food chain without humans to stem the the chicken tide.

And that's just one livestock animal. It'll be a problem with the others as well.

And all this is ignoring all the other non-food products we get from animals. What are we replacing those with? And don't say plastic (or vegan leather or it's equivalents, cuz those are just plastics), I'd say relying even more heavily on fossil fuels isn't a good strategy here.

So, really, what's the end game here?

Imagine you're parental f/o just,, treating you softly. Communicating clearly. Expressing their love for you in the same sentence as asking for forgiveness.

common anti-vegan arguments that are flawed

1. ad hominem

example: vegans are unattractive, ugly, annoying and mean; therefore veganism is bad

2. whataboutism

example: what about people who don't have access to plant based food or cannot go vegan due to health reasons

3. whitesplaining

example: white people calling veganism racist, dismissing all the POC who are vegans and speaking over them (also: what about indigenous people who hunt to survive)

4. purity culture / perfectionism

example: veganism isn't perfect; therefore it's bad

5. personal beliefs

example: i love animals so it's okay for me to eat them or i hate vegetables, why should i eat them

6. pleasure

example: bacon tastes good, therefore we have the right to kill and eat pigs

7. false dichotomy

example: if you defend animal rights, you're not defending human rights (this can be whataboutism too)

8. strawman

example: vegans totally think humans are herbivores; therefore veganism is bullshit

9. false health concerns

example: vegans don't get enough protein

10. might equals right

example: humans are superior to animals, therefore it's okay for to use them as we see fit

11. reversing facts

example: animal agriculture is actually better for the environment than plant agriculture

12. the norm

example: supporting animal agriculture is normal, because it's so common and it's how humans have lived for thousands of years

13. judging people by their looks or health

example: assuming someone is "in poor health" based on how they look and believing it must be because they're a vegan (see also: ad hominem and false health concerns)

14. personal feelings

example: i hate vegans because they make me feel uncomfortable, therefore being anti-vegan is justified and logical

arguments against veganism are always like "well i don't know what veganism is, but it's wrong"

Ah yes, new year, new favorite fandom AU blog overtaken by the talk of cannibalism after I've comfortably moved into the blog. (Happy New Year by the way!) I set up a nice little tent here and everything, and then the cannibalistic craze hit me like a tornado. I miss that days of fluff and my poor innocent Wukong and Macaque... (who am I kidding, those two were never innocent-)

But I guess we're doin' this. What’s every champion’s favorite part of the body? To eat, I mean. Like, do they like eating organs too? What about the bone marrow? Would they ever ask Red Son to experiment different ways to prepare it? I'm aware that liver can be dried into some pretty heart jerky and I've heard somewhere that you can turn bone marrow into a cake, but I'm not sure if that's true...

Sorry, I just saw all this cannibalism talk and I just wanna be involved, tee hee!…

(Happy New Year :D)

Fluff, yes. Innocent, no- hnhnfhnfhn

Also, the bone marrow immediately reminded me of my dog ngl- In which case, it could probably be seen as like yoghurt if you cut up the bone and use it like a cup/bowl. Like, my brother usually uses a spoon to feed our dog bone marrow, so I could definitely see it as a snack option.

Wouldn't be too farfetched to assume you can make a cake out of it, considering how it feels like when served cold. Though if it's an oven cake, then obviously some adjustments in the recipe would have to be made due to how wobbly and liquidy bone marrow gets. But making one out of fully bone marrow would be possible when at least kept cold in theory, I believe? Can't confirm due to me only ever ripping the pieces apart so my dog will actually eat it, soooo-

But they would absolutely try different types of recipes. Maybe even mix up human and demon meat for newer creations. And yes, they do also eat organs. Not all organs though because they do need some remains for the forest.

I'm imagining their favorite parts, or I guess least disgusting parts for some, would be...

Wukong: Limbs (Raw)

Macaque: Heart (Raw)

MK: Limbs (Raw)

Nezha: Liver (Cooked)

Red Son: Liver (Cooked)

Ao Lie: No preference

Considering how bad of an influence Wukong is, pretty sure MK is following with whatever his mentor eats too, tbh-

And I guess preferences might also change a bit depending on the meat- Like, if it's from a demon with the body of an animal someone may like eating more than another, then the favorite parts may differ-

nothing serious, just venting a little

i'm preparing for the trip to the lighthouse and i'm going insane over how things keep changing and we don't have any clear instructions. To a certain degree that was to be expected, and I'm okay with that, but it expands to things that should be pretty straightforward and routine.

How do they make 30 trips a year to the place and not have a system for how to deal with the check-in to the ferry? It's pretty simple stuff with several solutions. What annoys me the most is how I've been to Åland a bunch, both for business and pleasure (this will be my 6th trip there in the last year), and it feels like I can't use my knowledge of the different ways to organize such a thing with them, because it's not my place to decide on these things. It's frustrating, because when I asked the guy in charge of my group a fairly simple question, he wouldn't reply to it and instead went on to explain how the check-in system works at large and urghhh I've been there so many times in so many iterations you have no idea, just answer my question of 'A or B'. I know how to do these things, I just want to know if you have specific rules or ways to go on about them. Plus, now it looks like the way we're going to deal with the tickets and check-in is the dumbest one possible, although it adds extra work to him not me so whatever.

And now he brought up our assigned tasks, completely rewriting what he himself decided on earlier, suggesting someone else as the diary keeper who had expressed their interest to be the guide and he had already appointed as one all the way back in March???? I was interested in being a guide too, but took that as a no and shifted my interest into the diary instead, since I do a lot of writing and photographing. But now the original guide, who was as surprised by these changes as I was, suggested I should be the guide instead since I speak the local language and she doesn't, which is also insane how they didn't think of that sooner????? I'm happy to take over, because I love chatting with people, sharing my knowledge with them and showing them around, but I haven't prepared for the role AT ALL, which I would've done otherwise!! (Or ideally I would've, realistically I probably wouldn't have had the time because I've been too busy with thesis stuff). All of this is fine, I'm just annoyed how he keeps so little note of what we've expressed our interest in, and then goes on to announce things completely disregarding where our skills, interest and expertise lie.

And lets not even get into the food-stuff. I don't know if I should laugh or cry, because the fact that me and another member in the group are vegetarian is both not an issue, yet they've managed to almost make it one, and it's kind of baffling to get that sort of reaction to vegetarianism in 2024.
