  Any recommendations for a good monitor for hobby level post processing sub £250? Anything better than a Dell u2415 for value for money?

  I cut out Chicken and Eggs about six months ago unless I was happy they were high welfare but have pretty much dropped chicken. I came at it from a slightly different angle after listening to a Will MacAskill (effective altruism, recommend checking it out) and him talking about the concept of net suffering and you could argue that if you have to eat meat, eating larger animals would lead to a reduction in net suffering in the world which made sense, if I eat mainly beef or sheep, a couple of animals can sustain me for a year, if I eat a lot of chicken, that is fifty plus animals I need to eat a year. This assumes I eat only happy animals and not one sad cow versus fifty happy chickens.

  If I had the room, I would definatly breed rabbits for consumption, hopefully will in the future when not in a flat.
