Trump Administration Sued Over Meat & Dairy Influence in US Dietary Guidelines
www.greenqueen.com.hk
The US government has been sued for appointing a "secret panel" of meat and dairy lobbyists to issue the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

In a lawsuit filed with the US District Court for the District of Columbia, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) argues that the Trump administration “hastily assembled a handpicked panel of meat, dairy, and fad diet industry insiders” to replace the independent Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) and its two years of work.

    Look m8, you’ve imposed an incredibly restrictive rule on yourself, which is your right to do. But just like a vegan walking into a BBQ restaurant, you don’t really have the wiggle room to complain that you’ve shot yourself in the foot.

    On top of that, you’re giving annoyingly vague comments like “site doesn’t load” which immediately prompted the OP to try to help your annoying ass.

    Tl;dr: Don’t punish others for your own choices.

      I think there must be some other issue since the original site actually loads without JS, or at least it does for me when I tested it. The archive one doesn’t of course

      As an aside: not sure this a good comparison because veganism is not about the effects on oneself, it’s about the effects from animal agriculture on non-human animals and society

      Aside to the aside: vegan BBQ is also quite good as BBQ sauce itself is almost always vegan

        It’s actually a really good comparison, because ensuring we post links only to websites that everyone can read, it helps domestic abuse survivors and refugees and others at risk, who have to use aTor Browser and disable JavaScript to stay safe.

        Veganism is for others, as is posting accessible content

          It’s really not a good comparison because you’re trying to create false equivalence around the lives of sentient beings versus a random person being inconvenienced by technical illiteracy.

          Edit: it wasn’t a paywall

        You do you.

        At the very least give a descriptive reason the site doesn’t load. This is the equivalent of calling tech support and saying “it doesn’t work” and intentionally leaving out the fact that you took out the main part that makes it work.

        You know the problem, as proof by the fact that every time someone tries to help you pull out your “JavaScript bad” comment. So maybe just say “this site requires JavaScript and I don’t have it enabled so it won’t load.”

        Hell, someone would probably paste the article to you if you did that. But instead you play this coy game.
