      I highly recommend growing mushrooms is you are friends with people who like them or your family likes them as well. Its soooooooo easy, quick, and low maintenance. The only problem I’ve encountered is having too many so you’ll either be eating mushrooms for every meal for a while or you’ll share with friends

    Carnists force us to help pay for their meat treats and then go all frothingfash “FUCK YOU WHY DO YOU CARE IF I ENJOY A BURGER YOU DON’T GET TO IMPOSE YOUR MORALITY ON ME.” It even happens on this very site!

      to be fair, how do we know that that isn’t also because of subsidies?
