I think you may have missed the part where people are eating chicken because the prices of beef and pork are through the roof.
What if there was some crazy option that didnt involve any of the those?
Cannibalism is illegal, and risky, trust me.
There's always roadkill
Imagine if that crazy option would also be a lot less accessible to poor people who live in food deserts. But, as usual, they don't matter.
I went vegan in a food desert. Beans, rice, greens, lentils, potatoes, etc. are available in the same areas where you can buy the carcasses of sentient beings and are generally cheaper than the cruelest option.
Really? Because I haven't seen most of those in a Dollar General. But I have seen ramen. Beef and chicken ramen. Which is what some poor people survive on.
This is how i know youre lying to make a point. I literally buy beans at my dollar general. The idea youve never seen beans or rice or pasta or bread or other staples at a dollar store is insane.
Because all Dollar Generals have exactly the same products in them. That's why I must be lying to make a point. Because they're all exactly the same in every way. And you know this because you've gone to every single one. That's how you know I'm lying to make a point.
Cope
Cope with what exactly?
Your cognitive dissonance. You have to try and BS your way out of your paper thin excuse about why it's fine for your to consume sentient beings, despite alternative options being available.
My whole point was there are not alternative options available in food deserts sometimes. Did you not even read any of my posts? Did you just decide someone was arguing with me and that must mean I'm an executive for Tyson Foods or something? It has nothing to do with "why it's fine" and everything to do with "they may not have a choice."
But then I don't expect you to read this post either, so I'm not sure why I bothered.
So now I'm curious: do you live in a food desert?
Poor people in food deserts should push local governments to open a public grocery. They can't because corporations buy off their political leaders.
I think i fit that bill pretty well in rural mississippi
well, we shouldn't be eating them either
Someone is upset by the concept of us not eating animals
Idunno, I've managed to eat none of the three for like six years now and I'm still kicking
$1.79/lb boneless skinless ~~a few weeks ago here~~ right now.
I guess you're just assuming prices are the same everywhere. I wish it was.
