    Fruit is perfectly wholesome and natural though. Except they aren’t…

    Corn is basically a bulge of semen because of how humans have bred it.

    Bananas are incapable of reproducing. All bananans you find in the supermarket are clones. If men were to die out, so would the common (cavendish) banana.

    Cows are bred for milk production. If it wasn’t for men, their milk production would be very different. It’s just as natural as a banana.

      Cows are just as unnatural as bananas, but the farming of animals is much more cruel, unnecessary, and destructive to the environment

                The cows we have that we get milk and beef from never lived in the wild. They’re domesticated from wild aurochs that started up around 10,000 years ago. Cows are domesticated food sources that wouldn’t exist without us, just like dogs wouldn’t exist without us.

                    I wonder if they would all die off if we went extinct? I know most of them would, but I’m not sure if they could survive self care. They’re large enough that some areas don’t have predators that would mess with them. Like, I don’t think a bunch of coyotes would take out a cow and mountain lions would probably stick to smaller stuff.

        the part where we use pesticides, fertilizer and other techniques to make sure these plants don’t die. they’re bred for usefuleness, not for surviving in the wild. this is basically true for all crops we farm
