World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

More like ignoring all of my points while being so smug it's palpable through my screen. I imagine you're just as insufferable in real life.
But sure, pretend like some people not eating meat will automatically make wide systemic changes to industrial meat production. Keep sucking your own dick while ignoring that there's an even larger issue at play here that goes outside of 'just don't eat meat".
Feel free to waft your own farts while I ask about affordable alternatives to meat in countries where it is heavily subsidized. Saying 'potatoes, beans, rice" doesn't answer that question because it doesn't account for the protein deficiencies without the knowledge to supplement that into a person's diet. Something the average person does not know and is not educated on. Nor does it make up for the cost difference in said dishes.m at least in the country I'm from. Things like vegetables tend to cost more for less when compared calorically to meat. And there are a lot of places where you could get a pound of meat for $3 where I'm from.
And what was that you asked about what "lobbying body, governing group" parented me on how to eat meat? The US education department. You want to say it gave me a shitty education, get in line. You can act like a smug asshole all you want, but don't pretend like you've addressed anything here.
It's like I'm taking to a toddler that doesn't know anything besides "nuh-uh". You are the very reason no one listens when people try to start talking about eating less meat.
No, I directly addressed your points, you just dont like the answer.
You keep talking about meat subsidies, so I assume you're in the US. Im also in the US, everything Im telling you I tell you within the context of food nutrition and prices within the US. Let me know if you're somewhere else and Ill do some extra research to show you what I am telling you is still the case for you because meat just gets more expensive in places outside the US.
Im also assuming you're in the US from your assumption that only meat has appropriate protein for diets. You dont know food. You might know beans have some protein in them, it's quite a good amount actually. But you probably dont think potatoes have a single protein, or corn, or rice, or pasta, or flour. They've all got protein in them, they are staple foods in other parts of the world for a reason, they meet nutritional needs.
no no no, this is a strawman, I didnt say vegetables. I was specific. What I gave you was a list of foods that are cheaper per calorie. As a bonus, most nuts are pretty expensive so I wasnt mentioning them, but peanut butter is another high calorie, high protein food that's often near the top of charts of calorie per dollar ranking.
