Because corn and soy production are NOT tied to actual market demands for them, but to government subsidies and price supports. Corn and soy are cheap enough to feed to cows, pigs, and chickens in massive quantities because the government heavily subsidizes their production. Industrial farms always raise lots of corn and soy because the government guarantees them an income for doing so; the actual market for them is a secondary concern. If all animal agriculture disappeared to today, corn and bean production would hardly drop a whit.
"scientifically demonstrated health benefits of a vegetable-based diet" Have you actually read any of these studies that appear to demonstrate this? I have and they're universally horse shit. They *never* compare all cause mortality-- Oh boy, the plant-based-diet rats didn't get cancer at as high a rate, never mind that more than half of them died before study completion, while all of the animal-based-diet rats lived to the end of study. They also tend to compare vegetable-only diets to the standard American diet, full of Coke, cheesy-poofs, pop-tarts, and pizza. They NEVER compare to a meat-only diet.
You should investigate the history of those who promote a vegetable-based-diet, the Kelloggs especially. John Kellogg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harvey_Kellogg), an SDA, believed that sex was dirty and sinful, and that a plant-based diet would help suppress sexual appetite. Are you really comfortable taking diet advice from the Seventh Day Adventist prophetess and her visions? All of the science purporting to show that plant-based diets are healthier are driven by ethically and religiously motivated vegans and vegetarians. The science purporting to show a plant-based diet is healthier is LITERALLY the same as using science to prove a literal 6-day creation.
Conversely, humans have a digestive tract most similar to canine digestive tracts along with extensive co-evolution with dogs. There are no necessary vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients that humans can't get from meat, but there is at least one that cannot be gotten from any plant. Because of vitamin B12, we are obligate carnivores-- there are simply no natural dietary sources of B12 sufficient for humans other than meat. The only dietary energy source sufficient to allow the human brain to evolve to its size is meat and fat from animals.
My understanding of modern agriculture and economics is neither severely lacking nor deliberately deceptive. I live among it and participate in it every single day and I am painfully aware of the very harmful effects caused by the market distortion from government crop subsidies.
Cheap and delicious is not healthy and nourishing. No meat substitute will have the nutritional profile of real meat, which is what the human body needs.
Loud, sometimes violent protests at restaurants, butcher shops, and meat packers are very much attempts to force everyone to do something. Vegans are insufferable and have no place among polite society.
Your understanding of modern agriculture and economics is severely lacking. Very much beef is raised on land that simply cannot be used for any type of human consumable vegetable crop, be it corn, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, whatever. You simply cannot get a human consumable crop from it. There is no such thing as ecologically sustainable grain and legume production-- anything that could remotely be considered sustainable cannot be done at a profit. Without the artificial fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide input into huge cleared monocropped fields farmed with huge machines, you simply cannot turn a profit. You'd get a better profit by grazing cattle on it. N.B. tomato, lettuce, melons, etc. are all hardly better than corn, beans, and wheat for the environment. It's all monocropping with large amounts of artificial chemical inputs.
I will never go vegetarian, let alone vegan. I will not destroy my health and well-being by adopting a diet which flies in the face several million years of human evolution. No, the best way to significantly reduce grain and soybean production is to end the market interference from government subsidies for them.
No, it doesn't require that. Just because much meat is grown via feedlot currently, doesn't mean that's how it has to be done, let alone that it's the best way. Having people eat corn and beans directly instead of having cattle turn the corn and beans into meat first, does not remove the industrial land rape that is modern grain agriculture. Raising corn and beans is an environmental nightmare.
99% of vegans give the other 1% a bad name. Be honest, most vegans are on a religious crusade to get people to stop committing the sin of killing animals for food. They first come to veganism from an ethical belief that it is immoral to kill animals and any health effects are secondary. I've seen countless fundamentalist Christians try to bend science to support things like literal 6-day creationism, so it's easy to recognize when vegans do the same.
You might want to check out https://cholesterolcode.com/ if you're still suffering from the mistaken belief that the cholesterol you get from eating meat or eggs has any sort of negative effect on your health. High cholesterol levels are strongly associated with longevity.
Proper animal husbandry is far, far better for the environment than the industrial land rape that is the modern grain agriculture required to make fake meat. Pasture land is so much healthier than corn/bean fields.
Using anti-virus like Bitdefender is rather like paying a rude thug to live in your house, eat all your food, and hog the TV just to ensure a burglar doesn't break in.
You listed a bunch of plants that produce others of the B vitamins but not B12. You gave no plants that contain B12, not a single one, because there are none. The only way plant foods have B12 is if it is added by a manufacturer or if the manure used for fertilizer isn't washed off (and then the B12 is in the manure on the vegetable, not in the vegetable). This is not controversial science. Plants do not produce B12. Harvard's nutrition scientists say it too: "B12 is only found naturally in animal products" ( https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/n... ).
Your confusion on this probably arises from the mentally debilitating malnutrition inherent in a vegan diet.
Veganism has rotted your brain and destroyed your reading comprehension*. You did not mention a single source of vitamin B12 in your post. None of those things are natural sources of B12. Not a single one of them.
Let's hear it from the US National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements: "Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Vitamin B12 is generally not present in plant foods" (https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB12-HealthProfessional/#h3).
*Not surprising considering a vegan diet is so low in readily bio-available nutrients necessary for good brain function including vitamin B12 (cf. https://www.psychologytoday.co...)
This is the sort of ignorant drivel spouted by cloistered city types who wouldn't know how to grow a tomato. There are billions of acres of land perfectly suited for grazing cattle and sheep that are totally unsuitable for any sort of crop production. Drive around Colorado or Wyoming sometime.
Nope, I always specify B12. All of the other B vitamins are available from plant sources, but B12 is not and the other B vitamins are not a substitute for B12. B12 is only reasonably available to humans by eating animals, unless you like eating poop like rabbits, gorillas, and pigs do.
Aside from our teeth, the rest of our digestive tract is far closer to that of a wolf than that of a gorilla or chimpanzee. There are no nutrients required for human health that are not available on a purely carnivorous diet. Any nutrients needed that are available from plant sources are far more bio-available to humans from animal sources. Much of the nutrition in plants is bound up with anti-nutrients like phytates and oxylates so that very little of them are used.
You live any where in the world and you identify as a woman (cis or trans), trans man, or genderqueer person (including genderfluid or genderfree).
You live in the United States or you are a U.S. national or permanent resident living aboard, AND you are a person of any gender who is Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander
Outreachy is explicitly discriminating based on skin color and ethnic heritage, as well as gender identity, excluding white cis-men.
It would help a lot if they'd fix the bugs in the player. I'm not going to pay anything for a buggy app. Also, they need to do a much better job differentiating artists with the same name.
Because his "distant neighbors of color" aren't getting their guns via legal channels in the first place. Adding red tape and hoops to jump through will only affect those who already aren't going to commit murder.
Humans aren't the only dangers in the world. You'd be happy to have a gun if a large dog were attacking your child or yourself. Aggressive stray dogs are not at all uncommon and are actually the primary reason I carry.

No shit, sherlock! That's why Californicate is in quotes. You don't have to be from California to Californicate a nice place like Colorado or Arizona.
I'm glad that they're going someplace that's already ruined by coastal liberals so they won't "Californicate" anywhere else!

Your brain must be really addled from B12 deficiency if you believe that.
From context, I think he meant "speed-to-text" aka voice recognition.

I could hardly care less about the calorie count, I want to know how many carbs are in things. I'm tired of meat dishes that are full of added carbs.
So you are all for discrimination against disfavored groups, as long as they're the groups you disfavor?
No he said that what clinched his decision to leave was
The last drop was llvm associating itself with an organization that openly discriminates based on sex and ancestry (1,2).
which comes from Outreachy's possibly illegal discriminator eligibility requirements here: https://www.outreachy.org/appl...
