just got stuff from veganism@world and veganism@slrpnk on my feed and theyre just based on the absolute HATE of any “meat-eaters”

do they just need an excuse to hate people or do they actually wanna contribute something to humanity?

    From their perspective, we’re killing animals that don’t need to be killed, to fill a preference we have for flavour. And they’re not even wrong.

    They’re allowed to be angry. If it were easier to be vegan or vegetarian, I probably would be, and the only way that’s going to happen is if people keep making noise and pushing for change. Which is what they’re doing.

      I’m now vegetarian and I have to say I have a lot of respect for your use of empathy to understand their position. Personally as someone who’s been on both sides over my life that I think we get wayyyy more shit than we dish out. It makes some of us resentful being frankly bullied at times as the minority. People are very defensive of their habits, and that’s fine. I’m not so aggressive and understand people change on their own time.

      Animal nutrition is complete and highly bioavailable. Flavour is the body signalling this.

      every single food source we have right now kills some sort of animal

      and its not a flavor peference, animals and animal products form a nutritious part of a good diet and if we establish ethical farming, itll be okay

        if we establish ethical farming then you’d have to change your eating habits anyway because meat will only be available to select few. at the moment we’re producing animal products at such a large scale only because we’re doing so without any regard for animal wellbeing

          I dont eat a lot of meat anyways, I doubt anyone I know is chowing down on chicken nuggets every day too im totally onboard with meat being a dish thats served sometimes, not everyday
