Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

yes! dairy and eggs and all the blood and pus that goes with it. look up somatic cell count to learn more. its disgusting, destructive, unnecessary, and horrifically cruel. edit: here’s a link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_cell_count
I know animal-farming is beyond cruel and disgusting at this point, but I don’t know anything about somatic cell count issues. Oh boy…
good on you for not being afraid of new information, even if it’s scary. you can tell by the downvotes people think clicking a little downward arrow will keep the cognitive dissonance away for just a moment longer.
Well, I just upvoted your comment above mine, FWIW. :D
Yeah, I’m a weird one in wanting to walk through facts & reality to get to the other side, no matter how bad the news is. Very little harsh news depresses me anymore, maybe because I know what our endgame will be, approximately. We embarked on this path 10-12Kyrs ago when we made the global power grab upon mass-agriculture. But that’s a long story, haha.
That said, loads of things these days make me sad, and there’s no question that each day’s news nowadays is usually a load of heart-break. So I can certainly understand why most folks want to live in more comfortable reality-bubbles than mine.
(not to sound all pretentious or anything XD)
I appreciate your honesty and candidness, and you don’t sound pretentious in the least.

The wikipedia page doesn’t go super in depth, but it seems like somatic cell count is just a measurement of how much infectious schmutz is in milk? Why is this concerning?
how much blood and pus would you like in your diet?
About as much as is left over after the pasteurization and filtration the milk I drink goes through I guess. Is there a safe threshold that all commercial milk rests above?
I’ve had duck blood soup before. It’s pretty good.
As a vegetarian i have to agree. Duck blood and tofu hot pot is spectacularly delicious.
I’m not sure how blood is compatible with vegetarianism.
vegetarians still support animal slaughter and the torture involved therein, its a strange position to take.
Sometimes, people just do the best they can.
“Crusader Culture” is the ideology of colonialism. The idea that my way is best, everyone should be doing my thing and anyone who isn’t is immoral - is toxic in every community.
Plenty of people have conditions that make protein extra important, and a certain percentage will struggle to get that from only non-animal sources. Plenty of people need or strongly benefit from a ketogenic diet (epileptics), which is significantly more difficult as a vegan. Also people are just different from each other, and find different things easy and difficult.
It’s so disapointing to see vegans ragging on people who are also trying to minimize the harm they do in the world.
the idea that the body of another is not yours to do with as you please is the opposite of a colonialist mindset.
Yes, of course, but I’ve always thought of vegetarians as people who don’t eat anything that comes from a dead animal.
its possible you’re thinking more of veganism? vegans don’t consume or purchase any animal products at all.
