"BUT THE PALM OIL IS ORGANIC AND SUSTAINABLE"

Yeah... no thats a fucking lie

you'd need a whole other planet to make it sustainable

Yup

As long as we're at it Beyond Meat is also ridiculously bad for you

At least veganism will eventually select out

Reminds me of how Ireland is getting boned by green initiatives planting non native Sitka Spruce

Yeah good luck with that

Planting non native tree species worked so fucking great for California

*plot twist, it didnt*

😂

@Black Cat yeah its gonna get hard for all the soyboys to reproduce eventually with all that estrogen

But the eucalyptus!

BUT THE EUCALYPTUS SMELLS SO GOOD AND WE CAN MAKE ESSENTIAL OILS OUT OF THEM

Not when you're burned to a crisp you're not

That was Straya's greatest, longest term troll

Time to build a wall

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/10/trees-ireland-biodiversity-sitka-birds-extinction it's fucking their wildlife too

And how perfect that it bloomed on lefty California

Around California

@Beemann *imagine my shock*

It's almost as if our constant attempts at ecological intervention lead to awful side effects

>invasive species are bad. lol

@Beemann

They're making money and being green though. What could go wrong?

To be honest, you should probably take that guardian article with a grain of salt. Often times lefty environmentalists get the ecological science incorrect, so you have to do extra vetting on their claims.

Irish papers are reporting on it too. Apparently in the UK and Scandinavia it's been classified similarly and they've been yeeting it

I’d have to look into it more. It is a general rule of thumb that invasive species aren’t a good thing though.

Think kudzu in the southeast

They're apparently growing it as a cash crop and it's at the cost of native species

I think of the pine beetle here

Well, pine beetles are native, but still devastating

Kudzu is from Japan or something and it covers thousands of acres in the southeast

No natural predators makes it grow like crazy

Another good example is the hemlock wooly adelgid.

Really bad one. That invasive bug has practically devastated the entire eastern hemlock population on the east coast.

The pine beetle issue is that they've been running the risk of spreading beyond their normal historic habitat

That’s probably because of climate change

For real
