I’m not smart enough to read theory but I just finished a book called Rat Island. It’s about various islands around the world that have been destroyed by human introduced predators. Rats, pigs, goats, stoats etc. Goes into detail about all the various bird and animal species that have been extincted by them.

But it’s mostly about the quest to kill the rats and other predators to protect native species. It has been done successfully on many islands around the world.

As a vegan I found it quite troubling to read as I can’t really disagree with the premise that the only way to protect native animals from extinction is to kill all the things killing them. It IS specisism but as far as I call tell it’s the good kind.

It also fails to mention that most animals that go extinct are due to habitat loss from human activity, not other animals .

Like Mr.Burns checking the stock ticker from September 1929.

“And I’ll just start reading this German history book from where I left off last time, January 1933…Oh no…Oh no!”

I think anyone that supports bodily autonomy would support people being overweight. If you choose the body type you want and work to achieve it, you should of course have the right to do so. But I would guess (no source) that the vast majority of overweight people do not want to be overweight. No doubt they do not want to be overweight partially due to societal pressures to be thin, but also health reasons. Being significantly overweight is bad for your health, in almost every metric. Your life will be harder, and you will die earlier, but if someone chooses that, who am I to stop them??

And of course poor people( in western countries) are more likely to be overweight.

https://veggiedesserts.com/red-lentil-dahl/ Lentil Dahl, cheap, vegan, healthy. You can freeze it.

Make the naan listed in the recipe if you want a treat to eat it with.

If you add cream or some shit you’re dead to me.

Can’t believe the reporter didn’t think to simply ask the geese why they are there
