Eating just one Fortune 500 CEO would do more to prevent climate change than going vegan or never driving for the rest of your life.

Until the next person who replaces them does the same thing.

Well if we can't solve global warming, at least we've got world hunger in the bag

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

We could already solve world hunger, eating them will just be for the love of the game

Only one way to find out!

Yeah, but the looming threat of being eaten might change their minds a little bit.

So it's not only good for the environment, but also a renewable food source!

Sounds like a win to me.

My favorite snack after a Chinese meal in the US is a Fortune 500 Cookie, Eating The Rich has never been so fun and delicious! Read the crimes that they are responsible for inside of the thin cookie!

You have an interesting product idea there.

My doctor says I have to cut down on eating Fortune 500 CEOs. They’re too rich.

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly I bet most vegans would be willing to eat a billionaire ceo of an evil corporation.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

I'm down. Who's with me?

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly, they'd just get replaced.

So they're an unlimited food source. Interesting.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but they taste like shit.

[–] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what you think, rich people have the best marbling.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah but most of the time it's gone off....best just to toss them to the dogs.

all the encouragement i needed

Unless you're offing a buttload of them, that money and behavior just gets passed to their little shits or whoever else is in their will. More importantly, you still have a moral imperative to go Vegan.

Preach. It's not even hard. Just approach it like anything else that's mildly inconvenient at first and you're golden.

[–] J12@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget the board of directors!

[–] delawen@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

We don't have to really eat it. We can leave it for compost.

[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

but rich people are part of a healthy vegan diet?
