  • There’s also just like capitalism inherently favoring larger organizations of production, even with “you can just go out and steal some land” as a release valve you’re still going to see bigger players forming monopolies and inevitably buying out or outcompeting the little bean sole proprietors

    The only way around that is a robust state program to ensure equitable distribution and that’s verboten for people pushing this ideology

    Yeah lol and it still probably wouldn’t work at all





  • In most non-US countries, frying fat is almost always vegan unless it’s butter (but you wouldn’t deep-fry in butter). US fast food deep frying potato fries in beef fat is globally unusual.

    McDonald’s using beef tallow doesn’t matter though because here’s how it works. You fill a commercial deep fryer with like 70Ib of oil. That oil can be vegan, it’s probably canola oil, but guess what? As soon as they fry some chicken nuggets or tenders in there, they’re rendering out a shitload of schmaltz, and that chicken fat is now going to cook and flavor everything.

    If you’re fine with that cool but if you’re a vegan who is bothered by that then I’m just trying to inform people that “the vegan option of French fries” still isn’t going to be vegan because unless it’s a fucking vegan restaurant they’re going to be contaminating that oil with animal products.

    Don’t call me obtuse you fucking nerd
