It's strange how the disproportionality of wealth makes theft seem ok.
In this case it doesn't, you're stealing luxury items that are playing a huge huge role in water consumption. It's like 91 liters of water per day per tree.
Now check up how much water is required for meat, and suddenly realise that you're maybe fighting the wrong battle here mate.
Regardless.
I'm aware how much water animals consume when compared to plants and there are crops that are simply unjustifiable and are running water reservoirs dry.
If we are to be intellectualy honest regarding preservation of resources, there are no sacred cows.
I agree, but all I'm saying is we can shame people for nearly any partaking in modern western society. Unfortunately, we ourselves are have no other choice thanyo partake ourselves. And our individual choices make very little to change the system. Therefore, I just find it funny that people lecture others on things like avocados. There's a hundred worse things, but just because someone stole an avocado isn't going to affect our society. We might as well start with bigger culprits, if we even think that going that route is relevant.
Either way this is a meme. No need to take it seriously.
