    Trying is good but very real animals are still suffering for eggs and cheese.

    Is it really wrong to think that the right amount of animal cruelty is none?

      Reducing without a strict diet is much easier for people. Small wins. If you can make a “I only eat meat, what are veggies?” person reduce their meat intake at all, that’s a super big win. Changing your entire meal prep is a huge undertaking and most people just won’t do it because it’s too overwhelming. Reducing meat to a side, and being more mindful? Way easier.

      Chickens just lay eggs. It’s just a thing they do. The factory chicken farms are fucked and shouldn’t exist but ethical eggs are a thing.

        They’ve been bred to lay an extreme amount of unnaturally big eggs.

        I think even ethical eggs end up with some amount of suffering or premature death. Like those videos of the baby chicks being ground up.

        A large portion of health issues and causes of death chickens face are egg related. Sometimes the eggs get stuck, sometimes they break before being laid and cause an infection, vent prolapse, cancer, etc. That’s not to say I don’t think we should eat eggs, with a lot of cooking there is just no good substitute, but even the most pampered hen doesn’t have it easy.
