I'm not talking post revolution here, we need to move production inside no matter what happens. We'll probably have to build and develop these systems ourselves, trusting a capitalist to make anything but a profit is foolish.

Whole bunch of communists ignoring the means of production for food here. What's the commonly accepted minimum for climate change now, 3.5? That's less land, no more fossil fertilizers, no gas trucks, diesel tractors, or wasteful watering. We've got a very tight deadline on food production here, and if we haven't had years of working out the kinks in vertical aquaphonics there won't be anything to switch to.

there are plenty of decent logistical arguments in favor of people adopting a more plant-focused diet, but veganism is an empty liberal ideology that comes in the form of an eating disorder and is only possible on the scale it presently enjoys due to energy-intensive modern transport and farming technology

Indiginous people have been eating them for millenia. I'm not asking you to eat a live crockroach here, it's all cooked and spiced deliciously. Good protein, can be fed scraps and spare dead biomatter, and the end result is another revolution on the biological cycle.

that being said none of the green freaks are going to be happy in the brutalist communist future that all plants are genetically modified to be as hyper-efficient for food production with as little waste as possible. we aren't really going to have much of a choice when the amount of arable land is cut in half and whats left is being bombarded with natural disasters.

i have no issue eating all vegetables and maybe bugs/fish or whatever. vat grown meat would be cool i guess. but i know some people, whole families, who will not eat anything green. i'm talking literal years of fried chicken, steak, etc with nothing but bread and potatoes to break up the monotony. i knew a guy who accidentally got lettuce on his burger once and threw the whole thing on the ground. i'm not making any sweeping judgements about anyone here, i just personally know quite a few people who are absolute psychos about their food. a coworker of mine is in distress because she's trying to get her son to eat carrots and peas and her husband refuses to set an example for him and calls vegetables "girl food." death cult poo poo

in the past i have also shared the hot take that veganism is an eating disorder, specifically orthorexia: compulsive thoughts about the impurity of foods. this was exactly as emptily self-satisfying as when people share the hot take that everyone should be vegan.

what you think other people should and shouldn't do is loser talk. opinions are like ships in a bottle, it's natural to be pleased by crafting a good one and sharing it, but it will accomplish nothing beyond that pleasure, whether social or solitary.

Thai, Indian, and Ital meals that were created from the ground up to be vegetarian are delicious and filling. If you're eating a meal like hamburgers and fries or steak and mashed potatoes of course it's going to be awful if you just remove the meat. Good vegetarian meals are a genuine gourmet joy in themselves. It doesn't have to be some miserable austere existence where you're constantly mourning the absence of meat. Granted the people Serf mentioned are probably beyond reaching.

There are traditional cuisines which incorporate meat as well.

That's the other thing I've seen play out in real life: a settler organizer telling an indigenous one that they would be vegan if they really cared about the environment.

The entire last couple of pages on veganism were weird.

You can't accomplish the goals of veganism without the abolishment of capitalism. From my interaction with other vegans i've learned there are a lot plant based liberals who consider themselves vegan but actually aren't. It's just like there are a lot of libs who consider themselves to be socialists.
