Your arrogance is truly astounding. Not only do you know what’s best for my diet and lifestyle apparently you know what’s best for my mental health as well. I’m going to go eat a burger today just because of your attitude. Good luck with your crusade.
I don't know what's good for you, and don't pretend to know, I'm just speaking from my own experience.
About plant-based diet, I'm just able to comprehend and accept the facts and modify my own behaviour where needed.
> I’m going to go eat a burger today just because of your attitude
No, you're going to eat it because you value the taste and your own convenience above everything else.
> Good luck with your crusade.
Good luck with your gym buddies, hope they'll appreciate the gains.
You know, it's a viewpoint that's been desperately ignored in HN comment threads in recent years, that's why I decided to start commenting on it after almost 10 years of lurking.
I may make some people very angry, to the point of personal attacks. That's fine.
If you plant a seed, it may grow. We'll see. Better than doing nothing and watching the world burn.
It sounds you're just suppresing your depression. Maybe you should direct your efforts to solving the problems causing you depression. It will catch you sooner or later, you know.
> like the food chain doesn’t exist anymore
We're at the top of the food chain, destroying everything below us. And we're no longer part of the nature, we're above it. If you feel you're like a lion, why don't you lick your balls and eat your young?
> Presumably you are typing this on a device ...
Nobody argues we should go back to the stone age. It's not possible and not practical. Eating plant-based is, and it solves a lot of current problems (co2, methane, biodiversity loss, droughts, needless suffering, ...).

Urban and built-up land is 1.5 mil km2, land for animal agriculture is 40 mil. km2 ( https://ourworldindata.org/land-use ).
> First you’ve cherry picked the sentence and disregarded the rest
I found there nothing of value to comment on, sorry.
