related “left-leaning” pseudosciences.

Now I’m wondering what those could be.

There is a crowd that maintains that placenta is the only ethical hamburger. It’s… internally consistent.

remember the decades when butter and eggs were treated as poison by dieticians, before more recent studies by better trained researchers identified all the ways that butter and eggs are healthy for humans, and showed that they do not cause the problems dieticians claimed they caused.

Any links to prove that?

As I understand it, many vegans take issue with consuming animal products (e.g. milk, eggs) not simply because they come from animals, but because they’re taken from animals without the animals’ consent .

And honey.
Which is a slippery slope, IMO because you don’t get a whole lotta produce without literally trucking bees (especially to CA for almonds) to locations for pollination.

Growing California almonds takes more than half of US honeybees

Not only is chicken meat not vegan, chickens themselves aren’t vegan either. They’ll eat bugs, they’ll eat meat if it’s around, they’d eat you if you were lying around conveniently dead and had been there long enough to get squishy. (Why does that rake keep being in my way with the teeth pointing up?)

The reason the bees have to be trucked in has to do with the extreme damage humans have caused the global bee population by eviscerating their terrain for our own use.

There’s a whole school of thought that says anything humans do NOW to help them get back to having thriving colonies everywhere is so necessary to do that using honey (bees produce way more than they need) is considered ethically acceptable, because it’s part of the process of reparations to bees.
