“The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.” ― Arthur Schopenhauer
"What our work says is even in the worst case scenarios, the environmental footprint of not only vegan diets but low meat diets are much, much better than high meat consuming diets," said Peter Scarborough, an Oxford professor who led the study. nyti.ms/3Y4Ms9h
People who follow a plant-based diet account for 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than those who eat more than 3.5 ounces of meat a day, according to new research. A vegan diet also results in significantly less harm to land, water and biodiversity. nyti.ms/3OmbsFE
“…even the lowest-impact meat – organic pork – is responsible for eight times more climate damage than the highest-impact plant, oilseed.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

The funny thing about these French protests is all the British people applauding how far they go to get their point across whilst equally not being able to cope with some Just Stop Oil protesters sitting in the middle of our roads.
I hate the way marine ecosystems are reduced by the media (and often academia) to "seafood". This is a critical issue, but let's call it what it is: the potential collapse of the greatest living system on Earth, rather than just the bits of it we eat. reuters.com/sustainability…

Reading a "thought leader" asserting that "unit testing slows you down". Testing is a complex nuanced subject. If you make sweeping statements like this, you are broadcasting that you don't know how to write good tests or how to use them to help you develop.
