I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.

EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.

    Jesus Christ why would you not encourage people already trying to do better? I don’t feel guilty getting pasture raised eggs from reputable sources. I don’t feel guilty bringing home a moderately humanely raised ham for my family’s Christmas dinner instead of letting them pick up a generic “cruel abused” one. The world is not all or nothing, and you should try to help people do better rather than shame them into giving up.

      What you’ve essentially said is that you’re patting yourself on the back for buying from supplier A instead of supplier B, and that giving up meat would suck. You say “humane” in the same sentence as you do of killing and eating an animal that almost certainly lived a terrible life. I am here to ask you to wake up and take real action. You can do better. I’m all for harm reduction, as we can’t entirely eliminate cruelty, so I agree that it’s not all or nothing. It seems you’re under the impression that you’re doing something by buying from a different supplier, and I don’t agree much with that. Maybe your heart’s in the right place, and that’s a start.

        So, 80% of my meals are already vegan, but when I want eggs or have family visiting, I choose responsibile sources. I do feel as if I’m doing something.

          You’re right. I’m sorry for being aggressive, especially without having more info. I’ll be more careful in the future.
