  • So Troi is half betazoid, and grew up with her mother on betazed. Where, presumably, there was no chocolate.

    I know I know they have replicators and whatever. I just find it amusing that chocolate from Earth is so appealing as a flavor that less than a hundred years after joining the federation, Betazoid children are growing up loving chocolate frequently enough that Troi develops a strong taste for it.





  • Destroying the meat industry isn’t going to have the beneficial impact you think it will.

    Most of the food we grow we can’t eat, most of the farmland we use exclusively to support livestock isn’t suitable for anything else. These animals are eating food that is otherwise biological waste that will simply decay and contribute to carbon emissions.

    I’m not saying there isn’t room for improvement, I am saying elimination isn’t improvement, it only creates more problems.

    This sets aside the problems created by eliminating animal fat and protein from our collective diet, which causes a health and nutrition problem on top of a pretty significant caloric deficit that again, we don’t necessarily have the agricultural land to replace.

    If being vegan is your jam then more power to you, but it isn’t the answer for society’s problems.
