My cat is indoor outdoor and presumably gets his share of mice as well as a mix of kibble, canned and human scraps. He’s not once gravitated to pea protein with taurine additive or whatever weird shit y’all are forcing on what is in effect a carnivore who can’t articulate their wants to you.

I was vegetarian for more than a decade, vegan for a chunk of it. I felt awful the entire time but stuck with it because I was trying to do what I thought was right. Thing is, I had a choice. Cats can’t tell you they’re listless and feel bloated all the time (the way I was during my veggie phase) which has led to full on celiac for me these days

I legit cannot think of a more on the nose allegory for “missing the first for the trees” than forcing your carnivore pet to be vegetarian. Get a guinea pig or something

So what would the cats choose in the wild?

It’s frankly kinda fucked and cruel to force your beliefs on an animal who has no choice in the matter. I hope you don’t actually own cats

My 6 year old has never played or seen a video game.

I take her to the beach, playdates at the park with friends, we go mountain biking, etc. Hearing your stories makes my flesh crawl

Before we figured out tools and became apex predators we were prey animals… we’re SUPPOSED to be nervous and scared because that’s what kept us alive. Some people have speculated that this is why in aggregate humans are prone to being spiteful, destructive, bored, and shitty

Yeah, they’re fine for what they are, but I’ll take that over shitting myself inside out by eating wheat

Domino’s hates selling smalls

Yet that’s the only size they sell their gluten free pies in. I rarely buy from there (my kid considers it a treat) but I hate paying $15 for plain 10" gf pizza that’s mid at best

Kinda shitty that Dominos has it set up so that tip is calculated on top of the delivery and service fees. Tipping on the value of food, I understand. Tipping on the cost of those other fees is double dipping and bad faith in my opinion.

Seriously, “y’all charged me a service fee to deliver my food? Cool! Let me tip you for that!”

Having done time in the service industry, I have no problem tipping where it’s warranted, but you’re tipping the Dominos corporation for their fuckery at that point, not the driver

My favorite fuckery is when Europeans see shit like 25.4mm, 27.2mm or 31.8mm and it’s because of imperial bullshit

All of this is bad faith and not sourced.

You can’t call it good faith to say, “hey, cut it out” while checks notes STILL SUPPLYING WEAPONS.

I didn’t want him to be a hypocrite if that’s what you’re implying

I logged into OKC after not being on there for years.

What the actual fuck? It doesn’t even make sense now

By choice, dingus.

I don’t have that option. Big Ole difference. Maybe give everyone Lyme disease so they develop red meat allergies and we can talk

Okay. You want me to double down? I won’t eat at vegan places most of the time. Here’s the thing: vegetables are delicious. So why?

Vegans will support a vegan place no matter what and will talk it up as being amazing even if it sucks. I’ve been burned being told, “oh. That place is so good” and it’s just a matter of vegans circling the wagons and propping up a place that serves a lazy impossible burger with fake plastic cheese on it. Y’all ain’t accountable and it makes it difficult taking vegan food seriously. No wonder y’all’s food has an inferiority complex

I and others are over here with soy, egg and gluten allergies that restrict pretty heavily what I can eat. But go off since you have it all figured out, king.

The old testament says a lot of the same shit. Acting like this shit is exclusively Islam’s domain is big bigot energy.

The whole situation is unbelievably fucked up. Fundamentalist Islam is in the mix but Islam in and of itself is not the cause.

Yes, then they become toddlers and anything besides pizza or chicken nuggets is you trying to poison them

Babies can eat knives if they’re brave enough

“What could a banana possibly cost Michael? $10?”

It’s really not that difficult to not buy from Walmart and Amazon. I’m not saying any retailer is ideologically pure and chill across the board but mom and pop shops sell 95% of what they do and the money stays in your community

A lot of this shit is affected by what you eat. If I eat a lot of sugar and gluten it definitely affects my skin and dandruff 2-3 days later.

Besides what a lot of people said, try to stick to foods that don’t cause inflammation or reactions.
