As a fellow meat eater, I appreciate the spotlight being shown on the cruelty meat industry at large, as well as you do. It has made me more conscious of my meat consumption, and I have reduced my consumption of it. It has also made me aware of sourcing more ethical meat from local butchers that are supplied by local free range farms.

I hope that this awareness continues to spread, and it helps speed up the development of things like lab grown meat and other more ethical sources of meat, in general.

"Speak softly and carry a big ass stick", or something like that.

I will admit that assuming you have never faced hardship like that is not fair. Maybe you have, and maybe you handled it differently.

Still, its disrespectful to make someone feel bad for feeding their family Taco Bell. Maybe they didn't have time or the knowledge to cook food for that cheap.

Taco Bell is as good an option as any other cheap fast food place. None of them are healthy or anything, and that's not the point. The point is that they are cheap and quick, and sometimes that's what people need. Nobody should feel bad about it, including yourself.

Believe it or not, some people make less money than others.

If you were in a position with only 20 dollars in your pocket and had to feed a family of 4 you would be eternally grateful for cheap food. Consider yourself lucky that you have never faced hardship like that in your life.

I think your comment is pretty ignorant and/or disrespectful.

I can't imagine living in a town without real Mexican food. We have taco trucks and authentic fast food style Mexican spots where I'm at too.

Nothing that Taco Bell has ever made comes close to the quality of a random shady looking taco truck.

I understand that, but my point was that we aren't carnivores at all, we are omnivores.

I am not vegan FWIW, I was just responding to the person who was saying that comparing us to sea carnivores was a bad comparison, when comparing us to land carnivores yields the same results. It seemed kind of like they missed the point of the joke which was to make fun of people who wrongly call us carnivores, especially as a response to veganism.

It was all kind of useless pedantry on my part, anyways, so I apologize.

The joke is making fun of people who call us carnivores, though. Our teeth are very different from land carnivores, as well.

Ahh my bad I got whooshed. I don't get the music, but I'm on mobile Firefox with ublock origin so maybe that's why. I do get the rainbows and ponies, though. Its beautiful.

To be fair, I did not realize the laws around this were so obtuse and vary so much, and I appreciate the source.

Your own source mentions that the laws vary from city to city within the states, so I think it is still much more widely enforced than you are led to believe. I live in one of the states where it says it is completely legal in your source, yet I know that my city cops write tickets for riding on the sidewalk here.

Funny, I just checked, and there is a sketchy phishing site at jqueery.com that tries to look like the official page.

It's illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk in every US state I've been to, so your sidewalk point doesn't apply to most cyclists in the US.

Many states laws force bikes to ride in traffic with other vehicles, even if there is no bike lane. I wouldn't call those people stupid for doing so.
