    I’m annoyed by the notion that our bodies somehow need animal protein to build muscles. What we need is a specific mix of amino acids. Animal proteins generally provide a similar mix, but that just means that eating meat is the easy route. It is definitely possible to mix plant proteins to provide our bodies with everything they need (at least in terms of proteins).

    And honestly, I’m just tired of animal suffering, man.

      This and also factory farming being on a similar level of resource usage to cryptocurrencies (not sure how it stacks up to gen AI data centers)
