I don’t look at other people as if they are or were me, I look at them as if they are their own people who may or may not be living their life differently from me.
I’m pretty sure there’s not a single person on the planet who expected them to be equally critical of both.

Okay? Nobody said you had to care.
Those products all lump themselves together under the term “organic”, that’s the problem.
I did do my research. There’s no evidence of any health benefit from eating organic foods and the environmental benefit is relatively minor depending on the country and ultimately no more effective (often less effective) than other dietary lifestyle changes like vegetarianism or veganism or even just reducing the amount of meat you eat. Depending on how the word organic is used on the packaging it could mean the food contains anywhere from 50-90% “organic” products. The USDA rating only accounts for the standards of one country, not the whole world, not to mention even the USDA rating doesn’t exclude all fertilizers or all GMO products, but organic stuff is commonly described and marketed as being “pesticide and GMO free food”. “Organic” food is constantly marketed and viewed as being healthier despite there being no actual evidence supporting that. None of that contradicts what I said in my first comment. It is an arbitrary and abused term that doesn’t actually tell you anything about the food reliably. I’m not saying it’s completely meaningless entirely I’m just saying it has little meaning, certainly much less than most people believe, due to a lack of consistency, constant lies in marketing, and the low level of impact it has on the environment compared to other comparable dietary options. You also don’t even need to buy stuff labeled as organic in order to eat organic, since lots of organic foods aren’t labelled.
By all means I would love more strict wide-spread regulation and enforcement of the term “organic” based around maximizing its environmental impact, but at the moment it’s little more than a marketing tool for most companies.
It’s a heavily abused and arbitrary marketing term that doesn’t actually indicate anything about what the food is made of or how it’s made or grown. It also doesn’t indicate anything about how healthy the food is or how good it tastes. At most it’s slightly better for the environment in some areas with some brands when used properly, but even then regulations are too lax and inconsistent worldwide for it to be a trustworthy label.
This doesn’t always help, but what I try to do is remember what I was thinking when I saw someone embarrass themselves if it was noteworthy enough that I still remember it. I’m usually empathetic or sympathetic rather than contemptuous, and I usually don’t think they’re an idiot or that there’s anything wrong with them. The few times I do feel contemptuous is when they fucked around and found out doing something stupid or shitty, but if it’s just an accident or something that could happen to anyone, I’m not laughing at them, I’m understanding.
Why not? They fill the same niche functionally.
If you think there’s no propaganda on lemmy then I have news for you.
So obviously that means he couldn’t possibly ever exercise, because people who lose weight just wake up suddenly skinny and are never still fat at any of the in-between points during which they still get constantly shit on for existing in a shape society disapproves of.
Huh, for me it’s more like wuhmen vs wohman.
Wait there are people who pronounce women with an i?
Fucking idiots, trying to act like the chatbot wasn’t their responsibility.
