I think you missed the point. Not that they are millennial but that it's the first time millennial are seeing someone born from a different time period.

Remind me of bratty kids growing up, partiality including me.

Explain?

I don't think it's that impractical or impossible to avoid almonds over other nuts.

So you won't eat honey but will eat almonds, even though both are exploiting honey bees? Is because of it being a direct product vs a indirect product of honeybees. Is an in between layer where you draw your line?

You could put more efforts towards making a systemic change rather than just affecting your own life. Protests, promoting green things at your workplace, outreach and education, etc. It's been ingrained that individuals are the problem and they they should recycle more at home and create less waste but the root is always on things being unregulated. Even if you sacrifice some individual benefits you have been at a small systematic change would likely have a much bigger impact.

One major honey bee related event every year is the mass migration of hives to pollinate almonds. Do exploitation of animals such as this affect your morals. If honey is considered a exploitation of honey bees I would also consider pollination another by-product of honey bee exploitation.

My wife is a PhD candidate studying honeybees so I trust her when I asked the question and the effects of honeybees on the environment are a tradeoff like everything in the world is but generally positive.

To mirror the honey bee conversation, soybeans replace native prarie lands throughout the Midwest. Soybeans hurt the environment so therefor they should not be supported. But to support our population we need massive food production. So it's just not reasonable to avoid.

A massive population is really the root cause of almost all environmental issues imo. We have to blow so many things up to a high scale to support it and a self regulating population does not have the tools and responsibility for the massive reduction impact that is needed. Real change comes from an institutional level.

To the point of feral hogs at one point you mentioned the destruction of agriculture, I guess I was leaving the assumption open that feral hogs were destroying crops as the reason for the killings not them just being feral. I guess I am mainly raising the question of if your morals ever involve eating meat if it is killed under your ethical compass or if you consider the eating portion unethical in itself.

How about raising crickets or insects for food? I am guessing against because it follows the sentient plus raised to kill.

Chicken raised for laying eggs are not in bests of conditions so I would assume that is unethical to you and a no go. But what about honey? I would by no means consider honeybee conditions unethical. But interested in if you think so.

Feral hog would be the best thing I can thing of where it's something that is a pest that is not too far out of a usual diet. So is that something available to your diet?

Those things you are still ok killing are sentient still, is part of your hangup with the animals being raised? Like is hunting more ethical to raising livestock in your opinion.

So they just want to make harris president sooner?
