@bohdyone I actually think you agree with the logic within this hypothetical - you just disagree with the premise. It would be more productive of you to start there.
You disagree that sentience indicates worthiness of moral consideration.
Discuss that first.
@bohdyone Nothing about Nick's argument here necessitates destroying any ecosystems. That's a false extrapolation.
I'd guess you got there by assuming herbivores would excessively proliferate without predation, but this type of hypothetical generally assumes birth control of wild animals.
@Schmopser@TheNutrivore I believe this position assumes a hypothetical world where wild populations are artificially regulated without killing (ex: birth control via neutering/spaying).
@TheNutrivore@bohdyone A moral imperative means it's obligatory in order to be moral. Fulfilling a moral imperative is equivalent to "doing the right thing".
For example: it is a moral imperative to be vegan.
@bohdyone@APM_2017_@DrFarazHarsini According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (the largest organization of nutrition experts):
"vegetarian, including vegan, diets typically meet or exceed recommended protein intakes, when caloric intakes are adequate."

@bohdyone@DrFarazHarsini Dr. Harsini provided multiple research publications to cite the fact claim that lowered methionine reduces cancer growth. The onus is now on you to accept that or else debunk those multiple publications.
@StirlingWisdom 41-study analysis found soy has NO EFFECT on male reproductive hormones, sperm-count, or muscle gains.

Phytoestrogens don't work like estrogen because you aren't a plant.
"Soy boy" is a term because "alphas" feel threatened by rational, ethical people.
@hewhoiscringe @ShitpostRock Nah phytoestrogen actually can block mammalian estrogen. It ends up doing precisely nothing.
Genetics or magic are better explanations lol.
@HeruOforiatta@levelsio Phytoestrogen can act as an oestrogen antagonist. Meaning it reduces your intake of estrogen.
If you are worried about estrogen, stop eating meat and dairy from cows who were pregnant their whole lives and whose "products" are teeming with estrogen that you consume.
@Naem618 Soybeans make you girly but drinking milk from cows who were pregnant their whole lives doesn't? And beer has more phytoestrogen than soybeans.
fyi, phytoestrogens don't affect the body at all in the same way mammalian estrogen does. Cow's milk has estrogen in it. So does meat.
@lonestarleroy @styxthewitch @MrBeast@Relolyn If only you worked as hard at trying to be a good person as you do at digging up tweets from 7 years ago and intentionally misinterpreting them.
I used to work at a place that did TooGoodToGo. Our manager would ask the kitchen to make sure they made extra food for it when there weren't enough order mistakes that day, which was usually every day.
TooGoodToGo isn't food that would otherwise go in the garbage.
@OnTheVeg58 @TooGoodToGo_UK Before I get any more vegan snark please look at what @TooGoodToGo_UK is. If I get a Magic Bag of things that were about to be thrown in the bin, I’m diverting from landfill and that’s a good thing.
