  • What? I have 6 weeks and my wife 10 weeks of payed leave in the Netherlands. Nobody will expect anything of you in this time. Around childbirth you have 6 weeks as a partner, 3 months as a mom. All payed. Afterwards moms have about 3 months of payed leave, too. Then on top each partner has 3 months of payed parental leave that you can freely distribute over the first 8 years, your employer has basically no say in that. And oh yes, we have affordable public healthcare.

    Just saying, in case you were considering…


  • My goodness this is so full of wrong arguments I don’t even know where to start. If it wasn’t bad enough the almonds and quinoa make it perfect. What’s next? Vegans eat the rainforest because they eat tofu? Veganism is not a diet! Heavens sake. Talk to your ‘good’ lifestock farmers. Ask them if they give their animals names and if no, why. Ps. I am an agronomist with a PhD and became a convinced vegan 5 years back because it’s just the right thing to do in so many ways not only from my professional knowledge but from a point of basic decency.
