    My grandpa would just set the old oil filters when he would change the oil in the 3 farm tractors he owned. He did that for years and 30 years later that spot is still like blacktop. At least it’s only a 2’x2’ spot but I couldn’t imagine if he dumped the actual oil. And that’s only 3 diesel tractors twice a year.

    The thought that shops were doing it for years is sad

    Actually, they ate meat as much as they could. Just wasn’t always available without good ways to store it long term. But there’s a reason why they were called hunter gatherers and why humans evolved to be able to run long distances and are heat tolerant, because our ancestors ran down prey by exhausting it.

    But as far as we know all people hunted at least until early agriculture started being practiced

    …and you could do the same thing and eat exclusively from the animal kingdom too.

    If you don’t want to eat anything from the animal kingdom for your own reasons, cool. But when you start saying anything about what other people eat, imo you are no different than someone saying their religion/beliefs are best. Just don’t.

    Humans are omnivores and always have been, society and technology today has only recently allowed humans to strictly become vegetarians on any kind of scale. Specific eating habits for moral reasons is a thing people who aren’t poor in first world countries have the privilege of doing. People in 3rd world countries/poor people are simply going to eat whatever is available to them.

    Again, no one is wrong here, until one starts advocating that their way is best or better.

    Same 3? Lol please.

    I just eat what I like, which is a combination of plants and animals.

    Quantity doesn’t necessarily mean quality either. Many plants are edible in the regard that they won’t kill you, but are mostly unpleasant to eat. Because if we are going to compare apples to apples we can surely eat over 80,000 different species from the animal kingdom.
