essentially if it's cheaper for a company to dump food in a landfill than to transport it to people that need or would use then that food is going into a landfill. that's not greed, that's basic business. you don't serve 6 dollars worth of food to someone and charge them 4 in order to get on their good side. you serve them six dollars worth of food and charge them 10 because you're providing an "experience" for them. that's not greed that's rhetoric. jeremy brought that up somewhere today and everyone seems to have glossed over it without much consideration.
Your mob mentality of everyone else does it so it's suddenly not a morally abhorrent practice is disgusting.

I'm gonna add capitalism right next to Christianity on the list of things I hope to need to explain to children in 50 years because they've long since ceased to exist.

Another example: The availability of donated clothes to some areas has decimated local textile industries. If someone was giving perfectly good cars away do you think most people would buy one or just take a free one?

Economic actions have economic consequences. The motivations or intent does not matter, only the ultimate consequence. I think I linked the video in this thread (or maybe the GMO thread) Milton Friedman asked if car companies should make cars even safer if it would make each car cost $1,000,000. The answer is clearly no. We accept certain risks because the cars provide so much utility. He asked the question again with the car costing $0.05 more per unit but it would save 1,000 lives. In the case the answer is yes, the car should be more expensive.

Few people disagree with that logic. This means that we all inherently accept the idea that certain results, however individually distasteful (the poor guy who died because we didn't have $1,000,000 cars), are still necessary because of the aggregate consequence (we all have cars now).
Like I said; capitalism is psychotic and someone has to lose for someone else to win.

Not much we can do except live our lives the way we want and stop trying to force what we view as the ideal lifestyle onto others.

I have vegan friends who I literally had to stop hanging out with because everytime we would go out to eat or get drinks it ended up similarly to this thread.

"You know what's was done to make that bacon cheeseburger your about to eat?"

NO BUT I DONT REALLY GIVE A FLYING FUCK DUDE ENJOY YOUR LEAF SALAD OR WHATEVER YOU VEGANS ARE ALLOWED TO EAT. LET ME EAT MY FUCKING FOOD IN PEACE WEIRDO.

Its kind of sad really.



But Imo any vegan/vegetarian who tries to force their views onto others or guilt trip those who don't live the same lifestyle is the same as the religious fanatics around the world who praise jesus and allah and condemn those who choose not to.


TLDR: life sucks then we all die, stop trying to tell people how they need to live and worry.bout yourself.


Just live and let live, or hopefully you die young. World is already full of assholes trying to force people to live one way or another and we won't miss a few self righteous leaf eaters.
