You've got this! There are a ton of benefits to going plant-based. Dominion is a great documentary to show how most (~90%) are treated, which emphasizes the importance for us to shift away (it doesn't sound like the way you did it was as bad as this, but this is the info that made me swap away recently).

I'm vegan btw. The meme is making fun of people who eat for taste pleasure and not any other type :)

Note that an estimated 90% of global farm animals are factory farmed, and are fed monocrops like corn and soy that humans can eat. It's about 10 times more efficient to eat the plants directly than the animals due to Trophic Levels, so if you're worried about plants feeling pain you'd reduce their pain by eating them directly instead of their inefficient middlemen.

Thank you! It's been fun so far! :)

Hey! I made this content and was made aware of Lemmy by a friend two days ago. I decided to join and wanted to enter with a bang by sharing some of my OC.
