    I got the message and I don’t care. Humans evolved to eat animals. B12 is an essential vitamin whose primary source is meat and dairy. The entire country of India is B12 deficient because of their diet:

    For humans to live, other organisms must die. We are part of the cycle. You want to preserve the biosphere that allows humans to survive? Reduce the number of humans. I am child free.

      Humans evolved to eat animals.

      humans also evolved to die from cholera before the age of 3 what’s your point

      B12 is an essential vitamin whose primary source is meat and dairy

      so add b12 to foods, or take b12 supplements

      I am child free

      not having children because you never wanted children isn’t an argument unless you avoided having them specifically for the climate

      you’re allowed to eat meat, but can we please stop with all the limp-wristed excuses for why it’s actually morally justifiable and just own it?

      You can do more than one thing to help the climate.

      Sure, humans evolved to eat meat. Let’s just assume that’s correct, and you have the right interpretation of it.

      But that doesn’t mean we have to.

      Humans didn’t evolve to type things on a cell phone, yet here we are.

      I eat meat myself. But I reduced a lot my consumption, most people in Western countries consume far too much, even for their own health. We should consume less and better, chosing meat from sustainable farming instead of cheap meat from pastures where there should be the Amazon…

      We’re omnivores which means we can thrive with or without meat, B12 is simple to supplement.
