    Milk is easier to identify with relateable animal suffering

    With bees, it's harder to identify suffering and I feel that the more persuasive arguments are environmental/ecological or maybe rights-based.

    Holy shit.

    That was after this:
    On the afternoon of Thursday 21st two tanks approached Cain's position. Guided by a colleague in a building above him, Cain waited in a trench until the first tank—actually a StuG III self-propelled gun (SPG)—was close enough to engage. The SPG fired at the building, killing Cain's colleague and showering him with masonry but despite this, Cain kept his position. Staff Sergeant Richard Long of the Glider Pilot Regiment remembered that through the clouds of dust, Cain fired round after round from his PIAT until the SPG was disabled, but whilst engaging the second tank a round exploded in the PIAT with a bright flash and Cain was thrown backwards. Cain recalled thinking he was blind and "shouting like a hooligan. I shouted to somebody to get onto the PIAT because there was another tank behind. I blubbered and yelled and used some very colourful language. They dragged me off to the aid post."

    (The whole anti gluten fad drives me a bit crazy. In my opinion there are legit environmental, ethical, and health reasons to avoid animal products. There are no reasons to avoid gluten! Gluten is fine! Unless you are in the small minority of people who do legit have to avoid it for medical reasons.)

    (And also, perhaps I am biased, but I think you can make vegan baked goods that are delicious that you cannot tell are vegan, but you cannot do the same with gluten free. There is another vegan bakery in town that is also gluten free and their stuff is...not terrible, but it definitely tastes like weird diet food. Meanwhile this Viking place's donuts are p amazing)

    Yeah, he has been in a huge galatic spanning war with the opposing evil federation of slavers for a bit. Bad luck of it showing up near his capital at one of his huge energy planets. He is at the 25k fleet level, if he maxed his fleet capacity he would be around 60k I think.

    http://www.slate.com/articles/life/food/2008/07/the_great_vegan_honey_debate.html
    You'll never find a self-respecting vegan downing a glass of milk or munching on a slice of buttered toast. But the modern adherent may be a little more accommodating when it comes to the dairy of the insect world: He may have relaxed his principles enough to enjoy a spoonful of honey.

    There is no more contentious question in the world of veganism than the one posed by honey. A fierce doctrinal debate over its status has raged for decades; it turns up on almost every community FAQ and remains so ubiquitous and unresolved that radio host Rachel Maddow proposed to ask celebrity vegan Dennis Kucinich about it during last year's CNN/YouTube presidential debate. Does honey qualify as a forbidden animal product since it's made by bees? Or is it OK since the bees don't seem too put out by making it?

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    The issue as I've heard it is that dozens of bees are crushed and killed whenever you harvest, no matter how careful you are, so it's still harming animals.

    That and the fact that bees are badly exploited and shipped around to pollenate though that's a separate issue maybe

    At least I am satisfied with the result now. Doing this project is also preparing me for the exam.
