ecofreak - part 3
Despite their apparent concern for 'the planet', they never seem to recognize that humans are also a large part of the biogeochemical cycle (aside from pollution) and thus also a part of the planet that should be preserved. Not everyone is compatible with a vegan or vegetarian diet, nor do those diets change anything at all besides one's weakening ones immune system due to lack of meat-based protein.
Chitin (found in bugs) is indigestible to humans, and bugs can also carry many dangerous parasites such as E. coli. The fact that some third-world countries consider bugs a delicacy is not a valid argument, since most of the countries in which that is the case have suffered from genocidal famine.
Nor do they seem to look beyond the surface level of their activism, such as where and how the brands that they love are manufactured or shipped to them (in China, using or by using fossil fuels). Or whether the politicians and celebrities that they support, that publicly on social media genuflect at the climate altar, themselves fly exclusively in private jets, or were otherwise exposed to have ties to (such as by being part of the board of directors of) major oil companies.
Notwithstanding that they are effectively clueless and misinformed about the majority of environmental issues, still somehow they will make it a point to virtue signal to you in some way about their 'enlightened' climate status if you dare disagree with them or view the topic as moot.
