I'm thankful for the experience. It forced me to learn how to cook. I feel mentally and physically much healthier with meat in my diet though. No judgement to those who make different choices.

I was a vegetarian for a really long time based on this thinking.

The ethical basis for these kinds of altered consumption patterns are extremely hollow for the reason you point out - there is no such thing as a diet that has zero impact on other creatures. We can minimize that impact but it will always be there. If you are alive, it's because other beings died for your benefit.

They also don’t seem to understand that mono crop agriculture has far more devastating cost on the land that any sort of animal farming.

Those corn & soy fields were extremely diverse forests, savanna’s, etc before everything was destroyed and leveled for their pesticide & artificial fertilizer doused fields

And even if you try to raise plants ethically, which I’ve tried - you have to introduce farm animals if you want to do it on any meaningful scale. They recycle nutrients like no other & the land needs them

Not all vegans and vegetarians are so for altruistic reasons. Some simply choose it for health reasons. Same applies to different diets.

But yes, I agree with you that it is more ethical to consume what you grow, raise or hunt, locally or in the wild.

This argument is why (to my knowledge) I have no vegan friends 😁

Hello Nostr, please suggest some tasty plant based cold pressed oils I should buy. For salads and toasts and stuff. Something flavourful.

I already have olive, avocado, pumpkin seeds, cannabis oils.

What else do I need?

GM Nostr! 🌞

A year ago today I made the call to shut down my startup. I had raised 800k, and I had a team of 5 people at the time. While it was a gut-wrenching decision, it wasn't a hard one. I had super supportive investors and a great team but the follow on funding just wasn't there for what we were building.

What's funny, is that when I look back on that period (and the hundreds of investor meetings I took in the months running up to that decision), I don't feel sad or angry, I feel happy and calm.

My company failing was what led me to Nostr. I had the time and the space to dig in and really understand the nascent protocol, which made the decision of going all in so early a no-brainer for me.

So today, on the anniversary of the death of my last company. I'm feeling very grateful. Grateful for the opportunity it gave me to find this protocol and this community. 🫂

LFG and build the future! 🚀

One of the hardest workers I know right here.
