If we can eat foods that don't cause the death and suffering of other creatures, then that is objectively better than eating foods that DO cause the death and suffering of others. Death and suffering are bad, although meat eaters will tie themselves in knots to try and pretend it isn't.

Hurting animals unnecessarily is unethical. And since we don't need to eat meat to survive or even to be healthy, then we are just killing and hurting other beings for our own pleasure.

It's nice that he can do this with his child, but it's probably not realistic for most people, especially those who work 9-5. Also, add another child to the mix and suddenly things aren't so easy!

Should really change the title of this one. Folks are going to be outraged until they realize the quote is from Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who seems committed to destroying the Amazon rain forest.

Don't be afraid to learn new things. I started my IT career almost 20 years ago doing Struts and later Spring MVC. I felt a bit stuck in the enterprise java realm, but I branched out to Pylons and then Spring Boot. Now I'm doing Laravel/Vue.js and I have to say it's a breeze having worked with MVC frameworks for all these years. If you have a hot skill, which reactive/SPA apps seems to be these days, you'll always be in demand.
