Then he should have tried a pesca pescatarian diet.

This is why I only cannibalize noble laureates in physics.

I knew a super clever guy (PhD in Physics) who wouldn’t eat strawberries or tomatoes because he worried about their seeds growing inside him.

on every step you lose about 90%

this varies greatly. beef cattle is closer to 99% when you look at Calories.

My father is like that with pork, especially as he was kicked into a pile of pig shit by them during a pig slaughter.

Thanks for the info, i just repeated the number i learnt back in the introductory courses at university for trophic levels.

do as little ecological harm as possible mindset

I’m not a vegan, but it’s probably worth remembering that different people might be vegan for different reasons. I can think of three main ones: animal welfare, environmental impact, and health. There’s an overlap between the first two, but it’s possible to be any one of those without being others. (Though I know a lot of particularly those who do it for animal welfare reasons like to claim that theirs is the One True Veganism and others are false.) Someone who’s only into it for animal welfare but doesn’t have a larger care for environmental impact would have no particular reason to not drive a car.

There’s also the simple fact that it’s impossible for most people to care about everything. It’s draining. Like I said, I’m not vegan. I’m very bad in the kitchen, and it would just be far, far too much of an imposition for me to change that. But I do try in other areas to advocate for things to reduce harm to the environment, and I try to reduce my own energy usage, for example by cycling or catching public transport. Transport and urbanism are the angle towards a better environment that I’ve chosen to focus my energy towards, and as long as someone is not actively going out of their way to cause additional harm (e.g. advocating against policy improvements in those areas) I think it’s reasonable to allow other people to focus their energy elsewhere.

Well he definitely didn’t have a PhD in Biology, that’s for sure.

Vegetarianism is a plant(and fungus)-based diet. This may be motivated by veganism/ethics, climate/environmental concerns, religion, and/or health.

Lacto-ovo-vegetarianism is when you call yourself vegetarian but eat mostly cheese. This may be motivated by wanting to feel like a good person or imagine that you are eating a healthy, environmentally-friendly diet.

There was a trend in the 80-90 to separate the diet and vegetable-based diets into ovo-lacto-vegetarianism and vegetarianism.

There has been a debate recently with so many “veggie” trends to revive the term in that way. With cuestionable changes to the definition of veganism implied, which like vegetarianism whose current definition comes from the vegetarian society, the definition of veganism comes from the vegan society.

The concepts have been very separated since then.

I know, I was just making fun of “vegetarians”
