Responsible meat-eating

Yeah but if you eat meat youre a cunt though... #omnivore

This blew my tiny mind.

There was a documentary on cocaine a while back that showed how it was produced. At one stage it was mixed with benzene (awful carcinogenic stuff) in a pit and, having extracted the cocaine itself, they then drained the benzene into the adjacent river. It's astonishingly polluting.

Yeah she also clearly has no idea of the trade, the deaths, corruption and miserable exploitation. That’s the obvious reason to choose other uppers.

This is what I was thinking. For the sheer volume of human misery it creates the production of charlie is nearly unsurpassed.

The idea that people might be worrying about whether it's vegan or not is frankly hilarious

Do you want to cook?

Hmm. Not really, i guess. When I have more time it tends to mean more meals out (because i can get to cafes while they're open), and only slight increase in cooking.

Couscous is made of wheat, right? So nutritionally similar to bread and pasta but better in stews?

Yeah it's a larger semolina essentially.

Looks like this thread died a natural death, can I eat it now?

Only if you are responsible...

Was the thread treated well during its life? Did it die in a humane way?

I for one think it's moronic to ascribe the same moral 'value' to the life of a chicken as a human. It's facile. Where is the chicken Bhagavad Gita, chicken bicycle, chicken poetry, chicken internet, chicken cuisine, chicken agriculture, chicken organisations to which we can ascribe the equivalent achievements of chickens' as of humanity's? Of course none of these human things would have happened without humans learning to divide labour, and develop domestication of livestock & crops as a starting point.

I for one think humans are more complex and morally valuable beings. I'm sticking with that

Which is all precisely why we as humans shouldn't eat meat.

Right...since this thread is titled 'responsible' and not 'reasons to go vegetarian/vegan', maybe reason to continue discussing that.

So without further ado, I'm surprised that artificial meat hasn't come into the thread as far as I've seen.

What say you hive mind?

Don't see why it won't replace meat completely (if/when it becomes cheaper) given how detached people are from the process of producing meat already

It died a natural death and wasn't murdered by trolls.
Everything that needed to be said was said .
Now all that left is vultures feeding on the rotting carcass. Which is actually quite ethical and resposible it lived a short but happy and more importantly a sustainable lifespan.

For what it’s worth, since starting this thread I’ve decided to ditch vegetables altogether.

If you want fast food chicken this place is great

Must be heavily constipated by now.

Fried chicken on a plate?

Greasy cardboard box or GTFO.

Going back (a few pages) to the milk discussion. I've found it easy to take milk out of tea (actually way prefer black tea now) and coffee and use almond milk for porridge and smoothie. The one place I find it hard is my post ride chocolate milk, is there an easy alternative that I can just grab from the fridge when I get home that has the same benefits.

Not ‘just grab from the fridge’ but 3 mins to put together:

Pulsin powder
Almonds, water (or supermarket ‘almond milk’)
1 banana
honey and/or cocoa

... in a blender.

Obviously can add berries, flax seeds or whatever trending superfoods to that. Or ice cream :)

I do a variation of

Kale/Spinach
Almond
Banana
Peanut butter
Spirulina
Chia Seeds
Flax Seeds

Every morning so I like to mix it up post ride. I do like being able to grab something from the fridge when I come in knackered from a spin. If I'm bothered i do this one

Almond milk
Cocoa powder
Banana
Flax and chia
Goji berries (If I have them)

What's the pulsin powder like? I generally use spirulina for extra protein or hemp seeds if I have them

Sounds good.

Pulsin is good. It has little taste and isn’t truly soluble and doesn’t preserve quite as long as some alternatives ... but it’s healthy, I know what’s in it and I don’t find the taste too off-putting or clashing. So it’s ahead of the alternatives I’ve tried.

Oatly make a chocolate milk

It’s fucking brilliant too.
Great for hot chocolate as well if you steam it with the espresso machine.
Everything Oatly crushes milk made from suffering on every level. Better by a country mile for tea, coffee, cereal and cooking. Really don’t see the point of dairy milk at all.

Does it have the magic protein to carb ratio normal chocolate milk has though? Isn't that's what makes chocolate milk 'the perfect' recovery drink?
