I'm now wondering if there's a way to force them to interpret it as a picnic?

If you had a picnic for someone's birthday and every attendee was wearing party hats would it force them to interpret it as a picnic?

There have to be a certain amount of party hats, or maybe 1 Piñata which makes it a birthday party/picnic and not something else.

Are we the baddies?

It’s a catchy phrase: “innocent until proven guilty”. It nicely ties in the other core principles: the burden of proof is on the State; the defendant has a Constitutional right not to testify; each and every element must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I’ve often employed Emperor Julian’s response, reproduced above, in answering the cocktail party question.

It’s all a lie. A big, bold-faced, wool over your eyes lie.

The presumption of innocence is dead, at least in practice. The real presumption, if you must, is that of guilt. Despite the Constitutional and historical directives to the contrary, the defendant “enjoys” a presumption of guilt from the moment of the institution of criminal proceedings.

From the absurdly low standard of probable cause needed to arrest a citizen, to the pitifully slanted pre-trial proceedings, to the trial itself, the presumption weighs heavily against all those who have been charged with a crime.

It's obviously more environmentally friendly, no sentient beings are dying, less crops and water used to raise animals... etc etc.. but if they are replicating animal tissue wouldn't the same risks of preventable diseases prop up (cancer, heart disease, diabetes II)?

Lab meat would still raise IGF-1, contain cholesterol, feed gut bacteria that convert TMA into TMA-O, contain Neu5gc.. etc.

I'm trying to comprehend your argument. (It's good we are on the internet that way we can all save face right?)

Your argument is:

It's a hypocrisy that a vegan investigates Chicken CAFOS?

So you can only investigate things you personally consume, like a vegetarian who drinks cow milk can investigate a dairy facility but not a fish farm, and a pescaterian who is allergic to milk or who doesn't eat milk can investigate a fish farm but not a milk farm?

If you investigate something you don't participate in you are a hypocrite? Is that what you're saying?
