I'm so glad you care so much about the suffering of bugs! Heartwarming. Maybe one day you'll actually care about the suffering of cows, pigs and chickens too.

You don't want to comment on the extremely well-sourced post above this one? Strange! BTW, if you're so worried about the welfare of avocado farmers, maybe you should also be worried about the welfare of slaughterhouse workers, many of whom develop PTSD from killing the animals needed for your le steak and bacon.

I acknowledge the suffering of bugs, the same way I acknowledge the suffering of animals, as the necessary thing that it is. I don't pretend one is more important then the other just because it's cute.

I did, people have gotten sick being vegan, people whose job it was to be vegan(vegan youtubers), so to sit there and pretend that it's healthy is a conversation ender.

Factory farming and animal agriculture in general are completely unnecessary animal suffering. They only exist because human want muh treats.

"Here's a scientific article saying that vegan diets are nutritionally adequate."

"But muh vegan Youtubers tho!"

Humans existing is completely unnecessary, what's your point? Necessity is in the eye of the beholder.

They make their money doing the thing that the study says it's healthy, and get sick, they stop doing the thing that the study says is healthy, and get better. Sure, it's anecdotal, but there is clearly something the study didn't consider, these people have all the time and resources and access to nutritionists, if anyone could do it and not get sick, if it was as easy as the study claimed, they could do it. They literally have a profit motive to do so, and yet they couldn't do it.
