Having an unpopular opinion on Hubski is not a bad thing. As long as you can defend it, and can discuss it in the framework that seems to be consensus.

Also, using fun latin like ad hominem, for example, isn't much of a mark of intelligence here. People in lesser portions of the internet fall beneath good vocab (Or call you a faggot, but that's something else entirely) but here on Hubski, we have dictionaries, and we're not afraid to use them.

Preach. On hubski, feelings aren't as good as facts, and appeals to emotion in debate without anything to back them up are going to get you nowhere.

I'm working on eating less meat and more vegetables because

1.) I need more vitaminos and less protein in my life, and veggies are a great way to do that.

2.) vegetables are delicious and I want to find more ways to include their deliciousness in my diet.

Do I dislike factory farming? of course, that's why I try to buy local (it's usually better quality anyways, and I like supporting my local economy). However, at the end of the day i look out for Number One, and if my body says "I need to eat NOW" and Wendy's is the closest option i have time for, then factory farmed chicken it is. I have places I don't shop for "political" reasons, and same for places i don't eat.

I think a lot of this falls under The discussion we had in this thread. Some people care incredibly about factory farming, or about the long term effects of our diet on our ecosystem. Other people just want a burger so that they can get back to working on our huge homeless vet problem or finding ways to get Thorium reactors up and running, or are looking for ways to solve the ongoing crisis between Israel and Palestine.

Don't hate on people for having passions and causes that they find more important than yours, is what i'm saying, I guess.
