what do you think the money you spend on beans is used for? but after you give it to the same stores I do, it's not your money any more and you don't get to decide what happens to it any more than I do.
based on your comments, you're probably just a troll, buy just in case, here's a really simple explanation.
so i buy beans from a store. the store has fewer beans, so they buy more from the company that sells them. i don't buy meat, so that is one less meat product that they have to restock. therefore, instead of giving my money to the meat industry, they give it to the bean industry. on a small scale, that obviously makes no difference, but if enough people stop buying meat, less meat will be produced, which leads to fewer animals being tortured.
I'd say people have already given up on farming tradition, you have any idea what goes on in those places? It's nothing like it was 100 years ago. Those foods in question are produced as quickly and cheaply as possible at the animal's expense. Not to mention the consumer's! I'm not missing out on anything except stress and growth hormones by not eating meat. Maybe some parasites too. Besides, the spices are where the real flavor has always been. I obviously don't think change will happen overnight but I highly recommend you give some extra-firm tofu a second chance, maybe drain, deep fry it and pour on some sweet and sour sauce- you might just be surprised! lmk if you need a recipe. Hummus is really great too, if you need more proof vegan food can be indulgent and exciting
ok yeah, cool but that explains EVERYTHING right there, imo. I'm sure they're not that bad but you couldn't pay me to try either of those tbqh- I'll eat some fruit, thanks
hey i didn't say you are a troll, just that you probobly are one. and yeah, it's true that they can do what they want with any money they get, but what they will do is use it to replace the things that people buy. otherwise, people stop buying things from them.
some factory farms are torturing animals. depending on your definition, not all are, but the ones that remove pigs' tails and castrate calves without sedatives are definitely torturing them.
