Are antibiotics suddenly a factor in viral infections?
The antibiotics permit the shitty unsanitary conditions that make viral spread also more likely.

You're going to have to provide some sources if you'll be making such bold claims ...
I'll bite. I'm currently carrying a bottle of whole milk home from the shop to have a glass. It has 15g of protein per 500ml, a ton of calcium and 350ish calories. Super nutritious.

Well that make poor folks harder to fulfill nutrition requirements. Especially for kids that'd be devastating.
The distribution of resources of the world is grossly unfair. Two things need to happen: fewer people and a cap on how much one person has.
It's crazy to see people denying that (meat) factory farming is a problem. You'd expect most of the public of this website to be rationalists in one way or another. Of course factory farming is an aggravating factor for the spread of diseases. Of course we can thrive with less meat consumption or none. How is that even a question?

To clarify, the article says this is not confirmed , but an ongoing research question, - "The researchers expect additional lab studies currently underway to show that those samples don’t contain live virus with the capability to cause human infections"
The studies have been completed. The answer is no live virus.
There does seem to be confusion on this reporting. NY Times claiming FDA confirmed just fragments, others saying they did not.
Unlike with covid, we know how to make flu vaccines on a large scale. Is there a reason why we couldn’t also preemptively vaccinate against H5N1 during regular seasonal vaccination campaigns?
I suspect with the apparent extinction of the B/Yamagata line, that'd free up a slot in the quadravalent vaccine.

and replace it with what?
That's the secret, you don't have to replace it. It doesn't produce food, it takes in food and turns it into less but different food. So yeah, plants. It's painful, but we've gone beyond what we can do on this planet.

You say you expect most people on this website to be rationalist and then you also say that you expect most people on this website to be rationalist.

When my mom was growing up she had organ meats pretty regularly, as it was cheaper and they didn’t have a lot of money. Over in Scotland their national dish is haggis, which is a bunch of organ meats minced up, and then they add in some oats to bulk it up and make it go further. There are solutions to use more of the animal and stretch it. I almost never hear about people eating organ meats in the US anymore. People…
The invention of fire revolutionized eating, the invention of agriculture revolutionized access to food at a fundamental level, the invention of refrigeration and freezing vastly expanded the reach and safety of food from point of harvest to dinner table, and the past century or so has dramatically democratized the kinds of food a person can choose to eat.
This notion of sacrificing Quality of Eating(tm) is therefore a non-starter, humanity demands and strives for better eating. Any proposal to change how we produce food must accept it must co-exist with continued improvements to eating.

Which of those alt milks are produced using biodiversity supporting practices? Oat? Soy? Almond?
You mean juice, right? As far as I know Oat, Soy and Almond contain no milk.
