      A few months ago he was trying to get Pennsylvania to ban use of the word "milk" for anything that's not dairy products. Nevermind that coconut milk and almond milk have been a thing since like the renaissance and officially defined since the 18th century lmao.

        The popularity of alt-milks has skyrocketed recently too. It's funny that they're choosing now as the time to ban the word "milk" after there's zero chance anyone will mistake it for cow's milk.

        Oh drat oh bother I've accidentally bought peanut butter instead of dairy butter. What ever shall I put on my toast now??

        It's to make vegan shit unappetizing to normies

        We already have that in the EU, so we've got almond "drinks" and oat "drinks"

      Yeah I genuinely don’t understand the point he’s trying to make. I’m not even vegan, this is just such a weird thing to have an issue with. Like yeah, it looks like any industrial food production facility? What did you expect it to look like?

    Has this guy ever been to a brewery? FYI this is the sorta thing MOST modern food is made in.

    This looks kinda similar to a big industrial sized brewery distillation machine. I assume he drinks? Maybe he doesn't.

        Way, way, way too many people in the west have a "meat comes from grocery stores" idea about meat production. We need a modern version of "The Jungle" to get people actually aware of the fucked up conditions in these places.

    It is so funny when someone complains how something they don't personally like is made with scary industrial equipment. Unlike... everything else.

      If you're avoiding meat purely for ethical reasons, take a closer look at the practices of the specific company you want to try a product from before buying. Many still use fetal bovine serum to grow their meat, meaning it's still reliant on industrial ranching and the slaughter of animals.

      Some companies are working to remove the need for FBS. Without this step, lab grown meat isn't really an improvement, though it is an incremental step away from the harms caused by industrial ranching.
