FWIW, a lot of vegans didn’t become vegan because they don’t like the taste of animal flesh. I know i didn’t.

If you haven’t tried them in a while, the plant based meats on the market are now astonishingly good. My family genuinely can’t tell the difference between impossible meat and the real thing, and personally I prefer the taste of impossible meat to animal meat, coming from a previously life-long meat eater.

Highly recommend giving it a try, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised, and it makes giving up red meat especially easy.

There’s also really good imitation steak made of mushroom, I adore the Meati brand ones.

Fuck off out of here. You animal abusers complain vegans are pushy and push their opinions on people, so when we create our own little community, you invade us

They were tortured to death.

It shows pigs being herded into metal gondolas in groups of five or six. They are then lowered into a chamber and subjected to a high concentration of carbon dioxide gas. Pigs are seen shrieking, gasping, and writhing in apparent pain and distress.

CO2 gas stuns pigs before slaughter. Around 88 percent of pigs in the UK are killed with this method, which is widely believed to be inhumane and cruel. The gas is highly aversive, and forms an acid on wet surfaces it touches, including eyes, lungs, and throats. It supposedly takes around 60 seconds to render them unconscious, but Carbstrong’s footage showed a pig kicking after more than three minutes.

just curious but what nonanthropocentric magazine newsletter do you suggest as alternative? i often see plantbasednews around and sometimes substack posts, or is your solution to channel clicks to anthropocentric news media whom won’t be as thorough? im not trying to be mean but with no solution offered makes it pointless

Hard to say, it’s rather vibes based.

I once had to spend quite a lot ot time editing a fully AI-generated book, so I believe I have a trained eye on spotting LLMs, without learning specific rules like em dashes. But I will try highlighting what ringed the bell for me.

The very first paragraph:

A large pig gas chamber in the UK has been demolished after decades of operation, becoming a powerful symbol of what animal activists can achieve by exposing practices the meat industry largely keeps out of public view.

The part in bold is suspicious, because it’s so bland and vague. It could apply to basically any animal rights win ever. If humans wrote it, they would probably show more personality here and wrote something punchier.

Also, I feel like AI overuses “powerful symbol of what X can Y by Z” quite a lot, and it’s in this paragraph too. It genuinely used it in probably every paragraph of that sloppy book.

Moreover I tried running this article through GPTZero AI scan tool. Despite it being quite unreliable at times, GPTZero scan believes it’s human written but polished by AI.

Also tried Pangram AI detection tool which claims to have lowest rate of false AI accusations, it said only 68% of the article is fully human written. Everything else is AI-assisted or fully AI.
