Without being an edgy neckbeard, defend anti-veganism.

Protip: You can't.
>>
lol - no one cares faggot
>>
Because its fuckin retarded to hate vegans so much. Acknowledging theyre oddballs is one thing but shit is just dumb
>>
Because I like meat and as depressing as it is the meat industry is never going to change or become any more "humane" so I choose to not cut an entire food group out of my diet. Veganism is by no means a bad thing, but it's not going to change anything ever, and more often than not vegans just wind up being pricks because people lile meat. Fuck off and do something productive and not complain about food.
>>
I ate a salad once. It came out whole! Never touching that shit again....

Because I am adult with real issues and I don't have time to think about animals "suffering"
There is a literal fucking famine is South Sudan, if vegans were decent people (which they aren't) they would be a lot more concerned about actual people suffering there.
Vegans are condescending pretentious pricks.

Appeal to futility fallacy, that doesnt justify animal cruelty, and it wont change with that attitude mate. The more people go vegan, the less demand for corpses. Change starts with the individual.


CORPSEMUNCHERS, REPLY TO THIS POST WITH ONE NON HYOCRITICAL JUSTIFICATION TO STAB ANIMALS AND YOU HAVE DEBUNKED VEGANISM

Study from University of Missouri

In the study, caterpillars were placed on Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard. Using a laser and a tiny piece of reflective material on the leaf of the plant, Cocroft was able to measure the movement of the leaf in response to the chewing caterpillar.

Cocroft and Appel then played back recordings of caterpillar feeding vibrations to one set of plants, but played back only silence to the other set of plants. When caterpillars later fed on both sets of plants, the researchers found that the plants previously exposed to feeding vibrations produced more mustard oils, a chemical that is unappealing to many caterpillars.

>>741945206
I simply don't get what vegans try to accomplish. I don't like animal suffering either, but in that case wouldn't the solution be to support ecological and less harmful farms? Instead of not supporting either of them and not help eco farms come up ahead? Because if you just somehow managed to get rid of every farm basically all domesticated animals would go extinct. And even if they somehow managed to survive, wild life is not less cruel most of the time, they would just suffer as much so... I simply don't get the objective of veganism.
Having said that, do what you want. Eat meat, don't do it, it's your choice. Whatever that helps you sleep better at nights.

>>741945206
If humans didn't domesticate cows/chicken they would be extinct.

You can't have a valid argument or discussion because this is 4chan. I'm a vegan and I refuse to even try to speak my 2 cents because I know I will be harassed and called a fag. Now most people who actually feel so negatively against veganism wouldn't think I myself was one and would probably get their throats slit and hung upside down; just like what op deserves. Fuck you op I hope you rot in hell for that picture of you holding that dogs head. And to people refusing to actually educate themselves on veganism and not feel a certain way about it because of a vegan they met, I truly wish you would try to open your minds and see it for what it really is. There's nothing you can miss while being vegan except terrible cholesterol levels and hormones in your food. But I know how this will end... by the majority of you calling me a fag

I dont give a fuck about most animals either, doesnt mean i support them to be stabbed needlessly.

You could deal with your issues without stabbing animals, its literally non invasive.

>>741946759

some vegans do support welfare, i personally think we should free slaves, not make their cages bigger. But this is a broader conversation , do you concede that it is unjustified to needlessly kill?

>>741946827
i can see why you get angry, but its indoctrination, we live in a carnist world...i bet you ate corpses for the majority of your life so far? And i also bet you had witnessed, even in a tiny amount, slaughterhouse footage.

>>741946766
Not true, there were wild versions of these animals to domesticate in the first place...their numbers would drastically drop sure, but thats a good thing, the eco system cant handle billions of cows....just think about how big that number is, think of a billion cows in front of you...we stab multiple billions of animals per year

>>741946969
interesting, how many eggs do they lay? Id consider you a vegan if they are saved hens from factory farms who produce more eggs than natural, and you let them eat the eggs they want

It's more connected to the "enslavement" of horses, as without them automobiles would never have been invented.

It seems that you're using that unironically, which honestly makes me a little concerned for your mental state. Horses are not people.

I don't abuse animals, I just use them.

Please explain how saying I enjoy something that is legal in (almost) every country fails as an argument. And don't give me that bullshit about how opinions can't defend something, since all arguments are still based in opinions.

Well, the meat industry sucks but humans need meat to function correctly. The way I do it is just eating less meat. Like, only once or twice a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I also only but good high quality meat and no cheap crap. That's more natural (eating meat daily has only been a thing after the industrial revolution) and healthy (obesity is most of the time caused ny excessive meat consumption). There are downsides to eating no meat and eating to much meat, so why not chose the middle? It feels to me like many people only care about the extremes. Either you eat absolutely no meat, or daily.

Every positive found in meat can be found in plant foods, minus the cholesterol and saturated fats, which are the the only independent factor known to contribute to heart disease.

The world being vegan is definitely do-able, and if it were up to me to decide I would probably decide that. I've been vegan in the past not only for the cruelty aspect but because I was cutting out meat and animal products for health reasons anyway, but I needed to cut out a lot more than just that.

Was vegetarian/vegan for 2-3 years or so, I still drank sodas and sometimes ate candy. Both aren't good.

These days I eat plenty of meat, I got the candy and sodas cut out. Like I said if it were my choice then veganism would have a lot of benefits to the world, but the fact is that meat is everywhere anyway so I may as well eat it when I want/need too. It's not like me deciding not to eat some chicken or a burger is going to make a huge dent in anything, and plus eating meat is like a cheat code to quick muscle, while vegans have to really micromanage their food to attain the same strength and muscle although cleaner. Plus more muscle = less stress on your bones up to a certain extent as long as you don't overdo it

>>741947844
>dead bodies made oil hundreds of years later, therefore you cant be against animal cruelty today
Thats your argument, please drop it....we should be able to agree this isnt an argument.

If you wanna reject my term, name the trait absent in an animal, which if absent in a human would cause you to say keeping them in a cage, forcing them to work etc is not enslavement..

I already explained it, but you cant just say "its the law so its moral", by that logic, human slavery would of been moral...death by stoning is currently legal in sudan, is that moral?

You said "we can digest plastic but it doesn't mean we should"

This in compliance to the argument implies that eating meat is just as bad as eating plastic. Explain this. I want the explanation. I can say that doing pushups destroys my muscle fibers so I shouldn't do it. That would be equally true and flawed logic. Explain your fucking reasoning for making a comparison to plastic.

>>741947967
You're trying to impose moral and ethic if that's really the only reason for everyone to be vegan, which wouldn't be an actual justification. We are trying to give objective reasons why everyone should be vegan if I'm not wrong.
Once again, what's the objective of everyone being vegan? Is there anyother benefit from it besides being "morally higher"?

This is true, and I never claimed such a thing.

They are sentient and at some points in comparison, more intelligent at certain points of their life;

pig = baby human
when it comes to intelligence

also, the thing that we have in common is a nervous system, and a subjective reality generator.

>people getting sick when they attempt dieting

This is common throughout all diets, the reason for this is that they plan/consume incorrectly. It's a nutritional failure. They could be eating one of the many different vegan diet plans, a whole foods vegan diet is the main one responsible for reversing many chronic illnesses and keeping you at APEX health.

If someone eats garbage from burger king every other day it'll hit them much like if a vegan eats processed vegan shit.

Unhealthy veganism DOES exist, but the disease risks (biggest; heart disease and cancer) are lower across the board.

I'm not saying because of the law it becomes moral, more like because it's legal and moral (which morality is subjective, so don't even try to argue about what I find to be moral). Human slavery, while not moral (to me), progressed humankind greatly. Death by stoning doesn't affect me, so I don't give a fuck.

OK GUYS, I GOT IT!

So, eating meat wouldn't be a problem if there were less humans, right? Then you wouldn't need a hige meat industry and the quality would increase too. So, what if we just start eating a fuckton of meat, so all these 3rd worldlers which rely on our recourses die, because we waste all of our crops and shit to produce meat. And after we wiped out one fourth of earths population, we can start to eat meat as usual again!

My reasoning:

I'd actually quite like to be a vegeterian/vegan.
I've tried a few times - was easier when dating vege girls

Every time I found myself feeling weak, losing muscle mass etc. Even when being entirely certain that I was getting plant based versions of protein etc.

On top of this, vegans and vegetarians are some of the most self-righteous cunts on the planet. Their holier-than-thou attitude (as you're proving OP) makes the entire movement seem disgustingly egotistical and pathetic.

Also, because it's pointless. For example OP - you've been such a phenomenal cunt to everyone in this thread - that I for one will add an additional meat product to my diet each day - simply to neutralize whatever efforts you are making. I recommend that everyone else does the same.

So, in the long run, more animals will die because of your utter lack of diplomacy and decency towards people who have different opinions to you.

TL;DR - anyone who thinks OP is a cunt, eat more meat each day to make his veganism pointless. Let him know that you're doing it BECAUSE of him.
>>
>>741948845
nobody defined sick, but if you're talking about heart disease and cancer, the group with the lowest risk of these would be vegans.

You're making a false moral equivalency between torturing a kitten/raping/child molestation and eating meat.
I dunno about you, but I prefer my meat to have suffered as little as possible, since it makes it taste better.
Which means providing them with a comfortable life(grazing next their best friend in cows, free range scrounging for chickens, providing pigs with an outside area to dig for roots and eat nuts) and giving them a quick almost painless death.
Having some bacon and raping a kid are not the same from a morals and ethics point of view.

The truth is OP.
The world will eventually stop eating meat - but it won't be because of people like you.

People don't respond well to guilt trips.

As with everything else in this world, it will come about due to technology and price.

Sooner or later lab grown meat will become a thing - and then as it becomes a cheaper and safer option - most people will eat that instead.

Eating meat will become an expensive treat for the wealthy.

People like yourself will be remembered for what they were, unpleasant, socially-inept ideologues.

Morality is subjective, law is (usually) based around common morality. If everyone agreed that rape was moral, it would become legal and moral as it is the common belief. And what the fuck do you mean I can't just say that whenever?

See, that's the problem.
You have so little self-awareness that you are completely ignorant to how much of a cunt you come across as.

I've already said I actually agree with the idea of minimizing unnecessary suffering in the world. Why kill animals needlessly?

However, most people are trying to survive. Life isn't easy for most people and veganism is adds a considerable amount of effort and expense to life.

Every single shopping trip, resturant visit, meal with family and friends becomes a complicated matter. It also becomes a situation where you put yourself in some kind of "moral centre of attention" (which comes across to everyone like a spoilt fussy child).

For those who work long hours, struggle to pay the bills etc. It simply is such a low priority that it's not worth the additional expense and effort.

You will not win this battle on a moral argument because most people either don't care or do care and don't have the time, energy and arrogance to follow through.

Ever noticed that at vegan gatherings it's all students or people of retirement age?

You'd be better off investing your effort in producing a cheap and effective meat substitute - if you genuinely cared about stopping people eating meat.

Because until then, no amount of arguments or photos of pigs being cut open is going to make any impact. It may affect a few emotional teenage girls, who were already looking for an excuse to express their need to be different, the centre of attention and flirt with an eating disorder.

The rest of us are trying to live in a world where there are bigger problems.

Oh no, that's not at all what I'm trying to say.
What I'm complaining about is that veganism won't avoid this "holocaust" you're talking about. Farm animals without farms will, in most cases go extinct. The ones who don't will become wild animals again, what means there will be lots of animal death and suffering, in many cases no better than what humans do. That's why I ask, what does veganism try to accomplish? It won't stop animal death and suffering. It will probably make a few species go extinct. My only question is that. What do benefit does it have?

>>741949434
>muh appeal to nature fallacy
No, you are misunderstanding the point.

The point is that everything thrives on the death of another living organism to sustain it's own life.
If broccoli could talk and you asked it, "would you like to cease to exist as an organism so that another can live?" It's answer would be, no. It is in every organism's interest to live while others die. So why are you any better than someone that eats a cow? Both are engaged in the exact same action; killing things that actively try to stay alive.
How much pain something feels when it dies is irrelevant, so quibbling over what organism dies (plants or animals) is pointless.

I agree that it is an obligation to make sure an animal suffers as little as possible when it dies, but fundamentally it is no different than ending any other organisms existence so that your own existence may continue.

Everything kills something that doesn't want to die so that they themselves can live, so get off your high horse moralfag.

>It also becomes a situation where you put yourself in some kind of "moral centre of attention" (which comes across to everyone like a spoilt fussy child).

This is not something you say to someone with a food allergy or avoids x for religious reasons. You say this because it avoids paying for animal exploitation.

Convenience is such a shit justification, I could say the same for sex, yeah?

>Again nice absurd conclusion to your world view...also appeal to popularity fallacy.
Common morality isn't a physical thing, but it is still a concept we HUMANS hold. Notice how most animals don't have morals? And "absurd" is subjective. as I believe it's the most fair way of deciding what is and isn't moral in the eyes of the public.

I mean, if you relate with a cow, that's well and fine for YOU. That's empathy for other. Vast majority of people only have empathy for same. Maybe a long time down the line when every group of humans are fine with every other group of humans, you'll have a shot at convincing people that cows are people too. But that's a long time coming.

Except cooked meat was what gave us the evolutionary edge. So if we weren't meant to eat it, we wouldn't have made it this far at all.
>>
>>741950245
>broccoli is not sentient
That doesn't matter. It is still needless killing within the confines of the pro-vegan rhetoric. You are ending the existence of another organism so that your own existence can selfishly be prolonged. If it is wrong to kill a pig than it is wrong to kill a plant. Saying you're hungry isn't a good enough reason.

You are willing to establish the importance of some species over others, I.E. cows over broccoli, so why are you unwilling to establish humans over every other species?

I'll be honest, I'll probably never read this but I appreciate the link.

>>741950648
Actually, it was cooking in general that gave us the evolutionary edge, but even if it was just meat, that is using what was once beneficial to justify actions in the present?

>>741945206
Humans are supposed to eat meat. We are omnivores. It is part of our diet. Without the correct proteins you will get sick. This is science. Our teeth have canines used for slicing through meat.

Hilarious i have to explain this to you, because usually i get told i view animals and humans as the same....but humans are of more moral value than a cow, because humans have a deeper and longer ;) concious experience... eg its worse to lock up a fully grown adult than a baby, because the adult can appreciate its suffering in ways that a baby cannot fathom...same goes for animals....this fact however, does not justify putting a baby or an animal is a cage... get my drift?

>Extinction issue
Getting enough is not the only reason to go extinct. Domesticated animals don't know how to protect themselves from predators. On top of that, they would be competing against other animal species who are used to fight for territory and food, species that have evolved to survive without the need of human help, cows and chickens wouldn't know how to search for new territory once the food runs out in the territory they are being released and have to move looking for new food.

>Animal death and suffering issue
If veganism is not going to stop animals death and suffering, and you accept the fact that animal will kill each other and cause pain to each other, why wouldn't people do the same? We can't captivate every animal, that's for sure. But we could make the lives of the ones we've alredy domesticated a little bit better, being on the wild won't make it any better for them.


I get the feeling you just can't deal with the guilt of contributing to the animal death's, so you decided to go vegan. And by all means, if it helps you sleep better at night, do so! You can have your conscience clear that YOU didn't helped kill those animals. But making everyone go veg won't stop it. If you make everyone go vegan you will just helped make the animals suffer and die in different ways.

Anyways, this is the point where the discussion goes ethical and moral to the point objectivity doesn't exist, so I'm leaving here.
It was fun to discuss with you op, but try to be more polite please. The way you talk to people makes you look like you think you're all high and mighty for being vegan, and just discourages people from following your example and irritates them. Don't take this comment as an insult, it's just a little appreciation.

Have a good life op!

Notice how I never concluded that? Uhh..... no?

The logical parallel goes as follows:
Children are innocent
Children are sentient
Children are warm-blooded
Children have their whole lives ahead of them
Children have emotions
Children cannot consent
Children aren't very intelligent

Replace children with animals and you're good to go.

They are NOT the same, but what they both hold true brings a double standard if you treat one different than the other.

>>
>>741951963
It's about connecting what they should QUALIFY FOR

They aren't equal and any vegan who says this is actually deluded.

You do not give an infant voting rights or say that it can consent just like you'd do the same for an animal.

But what you do give to an infant that you do not give to an animal is the right to live a life absent of exploitation and murder. It's a double standard seeing as they both qualify for this with sentience.

>Why is eating another animal immoral though?
It is unnecessary, thats the primary factor which makes it immoral and not only is it unnecessary but it causes the destruction/abuse of an innocent sentient creature for the justification: "PLEASURE"

which does not justify any immoral actions such as rape, murder, torture, etc.

because without meat you'd ruin the world. Do you have any idea how many people rely on meat not just for eating but for livelihoods? Do you know how easy plant to plant viruses spreads? Or that there can be little to no signs until the plant is too far gone to save? Cows make noise and SHOW that they're hurt and injured, their immune systems even without antibiotics are already stronger than a plants. Banana's got wiped out once and theyve got cells in fucking labs in case it happens again. Look at the potato famine. You want that happening but on a large scale worldwide? What happens to the inbuilt infrastructure of the meat industry when it goes under? What happens to all the rural towns, small communities, massive corporation and entire fuckin countries?

What are you going to do about inuit people who survive on meat to live their way of life? Are you going to dismantle their culture just because you don't like them eating meat? How are we growing enough food to feeds millions of suddenly vegan only people? all out of season? what happens if theres a dry year or the grounds too wet? what if the germination rate of the seeds are off and its gonna be an extra two weeks of growing? Veges sell for less than meat, how are you going to account for this in the economy? What about GMO? spraying? where are all these pollinators coming from all of a sudden to pollinate all these new veges?

This statement is a rough definition of veganism, but seeing as you purchase animal products, you're not doing your best to avoid animal cruelty, because it exists in every animal product production besides a personal backyard hen or a personal pet cow.

And yes, "cruelty-free" and "free-range" "organic" are just rules that, when applied to reality can easily and are, cruel practices. These labels are only marginally better prisons with the same slaughterhouse end.
>>
>>741953218
Because the chicken is providing me and you sustenance shortly after you slit its throat.

Youre a fucking retard 99% of meat is halal. if youre buying it in a supermarket, guess what? halal. Theyre not shot in the brain, its a stun bolt. What fucking factory is going to shell out that much money for fucking bullets?

Halal when done on a factory level IS NOT inhumane. It is stun bolted (At this point completely unconscious and unfeeling) and its throat is slit (It cannot feel this pain and is bled out within a matter of second.) it is completely humane as the animal does not feel any pain during this process.

Nothing, they kill for survival, let them live their shitty lives as savages.

we currently have enough to feed billions (50ish) of animals per year, i think we will manage

Indeed. This is because it has nothing to do with moral. They're stab because it's useful to kill them, in order to eat them. This is how nature works, faggot, get over it, and if you're too weak, cry at home and stop invading my medias with your propaganda.

Here a cow is not free range, unless it is on a field the majority of the year, hanging out with its best cow friend. They're not organic unless no non-organic pesticides get in their food or environment.
Same goes for chickens, they get huge fenced in outside chicken runs, where they can eat bugs and plants.
Our free range pigs get these little shelters on very large fields, where they get to rear their young until well after the age of weaning.

by the way, just eat four sausages - I wasn't hungry but I did it because you're a twat.

>kek. No. They should be banned from medias because of massive ignorance, and they are not

saying no isnt an argument, because vegans do get mocked...its not a big deal, it is what it is...also i didnt know i was ignorant, but now ive been told i know.

Veganism goes against animal agriculture, which is a billion dollar industry, how you dont see that as a corporate interest is amazing.

Appeal to nature in your moral argument...the first fallacy you are taught if you went to school was appeal to nature.

>>741953587
So you just name call and cry about how vegans act instead of grappling the message? Sounds like you need to grow the fuck up tbh tbh

>(name the trait absent in an animal which if absent in a human would cause you to accept cannibalism).
DNA so similar to mine, that disease transfer is not only a risk, but actually a major risk. Not to mention prion disease if I happen to eat some brain matter.
Also the idea of eating a human revolts me on an instinctive level, whereas eating a cow doesn't.
I love cows, they are super sweet animals and they love getting scratched behind their ears. But I can also imagine all of the great cuts of meat on then, while I enjoy hanging out with them.

Whatever your beliefs OP.

Take this one thing away:

From today I will eat an extra portion of meat a day - because of you.

Those animals dying entirely your responsibility - I'd not have done it if you'd not been such a knob-jockey.

Closing thread - no need to reply won't be reading it, the autism is too strong.

>lives in a society where people maim and shoot each other over skin colors and pretend deities
>is concerned for the welfare of his chicken sandwich

veganism is conspicuous consumption only performed by the most bourgeois coastal whites, the entire working class thinks you're an idiot queer

i would let your veganism ruin your shot at a job or laboratory position, i would deliberately pick someone else and never say a goddamn single word about why

Humans evolved to be omnivores because meat is the most efficient way to get all the nutrients we need. Yes, we technically can get all the nutrients we need from vegetables, but it takes a lot of studying to find out what gives exactly what, and a lot more vegetables to achieve the same goal. Not to mention how expensive or impossible it is for many people to get access to the proper mix of vegetables.

If you're gonna constantly equate animals to humans, I'll play your game. Studies have shown that plants release chemicals equivalent to crying out in pain when cut or eaten (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ele.12205/full). That study is one of many, and although the paper itself costs money to see, the abstract says it all. They communicate in very many ways, they have an intelligence to them. Does that mean we shouldn't eat plants either? Then what do we eat?

>>741953697

I know the message. I've been one. I've dated vegans. I've been to the meetings.

Can you not understand that NO ONE CARES what you eat or what you think about what you eat.

Do what you want to do, stop being an evangelical Christian and trying to make everyone else have to agree with you.

>>741945495
Factually false. If enough people refuse to eat meat the industry will be force to shift to lab-created meat and no animal would be killed. It's no longer science fiction we are almost there, now it's just a matter of where the big money is.

>i dont live in a 3rd world country, and from memory the top viruses, ecoli, foot and mouth, bird flu etc, all come from animals
No you fucking idiot this just shows that you have no idea what you're talking about, Im talking about plant to plant viruses, shit that can wipe out and entire farm ala foot n mouth

>we currently have enough to feed billions (50ish) of animals per year, i think we will manage
What happens to all the animals you inbred? Are we feeding all these humans scarp food as well? god you're a retard.

Theres no point in arguing with you because you have no clue.

i keep getting replies to them, so evidently you are wrong....and cool story bro
Nice name calling, do you have nap time soon kid?

>>741953734
wait, so if eating humans didnt make you ill (im aware of this btw) then it wouldnt be a moral problem? Cmon man, i thought i was chatting with someone who was intellectually honest.

Instinct aside, you can clearly see its wrong to needlessly kill a human.

Another thought experiement to put this reasoning to rest....if your loved ones conciousness was transferred into a cow, would it be ok for people to stab that cow? They dont share your DNA anymore, so its cool
right?

omfg, if your made up epidemic of plant viruses was so bad it would of effected me, or someone in my country, it hasnt...unless in very very very rare circumstances.

>What happens to all the animals you inbred?
its not clear what context you are asking this in, because you have poor comm skills....if the world goes vegan, the animals numbers will gradually drop...humans can eat the plant food animals eat such as oats, soy, wheat, grains

I didnt know i had no clue, but now ive been told i have no clue, i realise i have no clue.

I would only eat a human if forced to.
The DNA similarity is one thing, familiarity and knowing that said human functions much like me is also part of it.
If someone managed to transfer the consciousness of a loved one of mine into a cow, I would protect that cow. But that would also make it completely different from other cows, because it would be the first cow with the mind of a human. Essentially a new animal altogether.
Just as much as if that cow had been my pet, where I've decided for it to be my companion or work animal, I wouldn't let people kill my companion or work buddy, I need them for those things, no matter what species they are.
If the cow on the other hand was intended for eating, I would still treat it well, but spend less time with it, since I've not made it my friend.

>violence amongst humans
Humans always did it to the animals first, in a society where we were never taught to treat animals with even an inkling of respect, how do you think we can even think about treating eachother right?

>religious justifications

You know, it's funny that you say that, because religious people also justify animal exploitation and abuse (dairy/meat farming) with "they are the gift of god for us to eat and use!"

But anyways,

>coastal white
nope
>bourgeois
nope

I came out of poverty with a job during highschool to support my household.
I can empathize with those suffering because I went through the shitter too, I know what it's like. Imagine how privileged and entitled you must be to think that an innocent creature should amount to a chicken sandwich in your gullet and theres nothing wrong with that. I spend my money on positive impact, not a fancy watch, open your damn eyes, you disgust me.

>i didnt know i was ignorant
kek. "not knowing" is just the definition of ignorance...

>Veganism goes against animal agriculture, which is a billion dollar industry
Agriculture isn't an industry. Stop watching youtube videos, it doesn't make you less of an ignorant. Because of your propaganda, insutry starts cooking vegan meals, and will earn billions dollars if veganism happens.

>the first fallacy you are taught if you went to school was appeal to nature.
kek. Classical liberal fallacies : people are "taught" things and everything is a construction. two centuries of lies and you still fall for it. Open some books kid.

>>741954241
sorry i forgot to add, your loved ones brain is reduced to the sentience of a cow...so you know, it can solve basic puzzles, mobile, recognises you, can have fun, can suffer, etc

Thats my bad, and im sorry you wasted your time replying to my incomplete point

>veganism growing

Yep, in a decadent, uncultured, biased society, people get stupid, ingorant... and vegan.

Pretty sad, indeed.
>>
>>741953850
Normally, that would make sense
However, we're talking about a gigantic industry
One that has billions of consumers around the globe
Basically what you're suggesting is like tearing down a brick wall by punching it; technically, each punch IS making progress, but there are thousands of better ways of tearing down a brick wall.

>>741954349
man, learn english ffs, so hard to read after almost 300 posts of nonsense.
Animal agriculture is an industry

Industry starts cooking vegan meals
mate just stfu

Fallacies are not liberal you absolute low IQ moron. Then you tell me to open some books ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahkpahdofjn\sdkvnpisfv\ omfg, you must be trolling, i refuse to believe a non diabled man can be thhis thick.

>>741954419
Western society is currently biased towards corpsemunching actually, evident by the fact vegans are a tiny minority.

>more baseless namecalling from the brainlet

Am i now debating the bottom of the barrel because the smart people have left?

welp, it was fun lads.
