Brazilian here. Although the article is factually correct, I think it would be useful to expand the information a bit, in order to get more context. Since I already sort of did that with my comment in the article about the Italian woman burnt alive by an ex-boyfriend, here it goes:

It was confusing as hell for all of us, but especially her.

Soy is drastically better for the environment than animal agriculture. Many vegetarians and vegans (myself included) choose to be so because of environmental concerns and not wanting to contribute in any way to the factory farming industry. If you’re interested, here’s a good infographic breakdown of the environmental…

Didn’t take long for the “All vegans are annoying, pushy, self righteous jerks” crowd to show up in the comments. For what it’s worth, no, all vegans are not those things. I’ve met a small handful who were and I’ve met PLENTY of vegans. Now omnivores who can’t stop themselves making snide comments when they discover…

I remember we were constantly either not talking to them or, when we were talking, we were fighting. 10 years ago he said he was 100% done, and hasn’t spoken to them…

I do sports medicine for special needs children and I teach ballet to kids. I meet a lot of parents of all kinds. Some of the parents I meet are so wonderful, they make my heart swell up and I can hardly believe that they are real. Some parents don't love their kids.

If my brother had been born first, I'm positive I would have never been born. My brother could do no wrong. His grades were shit, his personality is shit, and he wouldn't know empathy if it bit him on the arse, but with him it was always "boys will be boys" or "he's younger and doesn't know better" when my father…
