Just go eat plant-based all together, so we won't have these problems that endanger the existence of life on our planet. Including humans.

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.

It's so simple: almost as simple as stop burning oil and using plastic packaging and invading other countries and using slave labour...
Thing is, life will find a way to survive despite our best efforts. We've seen mass extinctions before. Whether the human species survives is another matter.
We've made our bed, on that I agree, but I cant help but feel that it would be nice if we didn't take everything else down with us.
Plants? Those cost more than beef.
This. How can a vegan meat alternative cost more than real meat. I'd buy it immediately but as a consumer I don't want to be screwed over.
Eating plants isn't more expensive than eating meat, just eating plant-based attempts at mimicking meat.
In the EU the answer would be that we’re subsidising cattle farmers for enormous amounts of money
That won't stop all the other people eating animal products. You can't solve systemic problems with individual action.
It won't, but at least you're not part of the problem anymore. You might inspire other people to. And every person who goes plantbased makes it more politically viable to enact policies to encourage plant based over the most destructive other foods. Try to avoid discouraging people who try to do the right thing, help them make a bigger impact instead.
Well... I feel justified in always having hated salmon.
Has there been any educated estimates when lab grown meat is going to be scaling for things like salmon?
not in florida! it's already banned there
Holy shit, florida is based for once
What do you mean by this?
Just a vegan absolutionist being a reactionary idiot as far as I can tell 🤷
Yeah, because banning cruelty free alternatives for those that can't or won't take the jump to fully vegan yet is SURE to decrease factory farming of animals 🙄🤦
Also in Italy, I believe
Florida banned salmon? That's human rights abuse.
IDK, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Best to eat more veggies now, and maybe one day everyone can go back to salmon once it's sustainable.
Lab-grown salmon already exists, so I'd say sooner rather than later.
