“The only defense for factory farming is that they’re making cheap food. But in fact it’s the most expensive food every produced. All the costs are externalized.”
“Vegetarians have a more optimal protein intake than nonvegetarians.”
“Eggs are the worst. [...] If you’re going to give up one food… eggs.”
“You really have to constantly question, does the thing I have in my head, does it correspond with reality?”
