On eggs:

  • Male and female chicks are birthed in equal amounts, but the male chicks are thrown into a meat grinder as they can't produce eggs.
  • Certifications that chickens are being kept in any kind of conditions.that are kind to the animal are mostly crap. Unless you know and have inspected the farm where your eggs are coming from, assume the chickens are being kept in awful conditions.
  • What happens when the chicken stops producing enough eggs, when they're past their peak? They get slaughtered, of course.

Veganism in general is simply a consequence of having empathy with animals being held by humans. Unless they're treated like pets, they're going to face pain and suffering that simply isn't necessary for human survival. And if it isn't necessary, why inflict pain?

I highly recommend scrambled tofu.

I see what you mean, thanks. Maybe of interest, the Oxford English dictionary defines a race riot as "a public outbreak of violence due to racial antagonism", much less specific than your definition which I imagine is America-based, so I think this might be a difference between American and European use of the term.

Why do you think it's more fascist or than racist? The political "right" of the UK is incredibly anti-immigrant, you can see that in how they've voted for MPs and Brexit. The racial hate is more noticeable towards brown people, i.e. anyone looking anything from Arab to south Asian, there's even the p-word that comes close (but isnt quite) the equivalent of the n-word.

The concept that the center is particularly factual and unbiased is dumb. Left and right are biases, but the center is equally a bias against aspects picked up by the others. I'm frustrated by sites like ground news pushing this concept that equates left and right with biased and implies or even directly states that the centre is generally unbiased. It's just more bullshit from the "liberal" center.
