Drinking cow milk in unnatural for humans but veganism is an eating disorder that is also unnatural for humans.
"The finding helps build the case that meat-eating helped the human lineage evolve large brains, scientists added."

I am a vegan and my stomach hurts all the time. I cannot work. I am a 25 year old man and I live the NEET life with my 72 year old retired father. I wish I were dead so I would not have to eat and would not get hungry. If there were an easy way to kill myself I would do it but I am afraid of what would happen if I attempted suicide and failed.

No I'm insulting it because you used the word "evidence" when what you meant was "opinion".

Pastebin isn't a peer reviewed journal. YouTube is not a primary source. There is no "evidence" of anything here.

For future reference the word you were looking for was "opinion".

None of the moral arguments hold weight. This isn't the place to go through them but anyone with the capacity to think critically can work this out.

The environmental arguments largely rely on falsely assuming the rest of the world is as retarded as the USA in raising an inefficient animal on fucking desert or on prime farmland. Sheep on, say, the Scottish or Welsh highlands are nowhere near as wasteful as the land is worthless for much else and the animal more efficient than beef cattle. That doesn't even begin to touch on seafood, fish and chicken either (eggs are top tier and produced properly, rather than in batter, chicken will provide you with shit like capons).

Even if they did if we're going for maximum efficiency in land usage most vegan diets are actually pretty wasteful since they go for taste and variety as much as anything else (not to mention the need for mass production of certain supplements). Anything shipped in from abroad will be an environmental issue too and you better believe it's more difficult to provide a fully vegan diet in some countries.

Now assuming you mean health benefits then yes there are some but comparing a sane diet including meat to a sane vegan diet rather than to the average fatfuck diet will show you it isn't huge. Most value enjoyment in life over a few years at the shit-end of it anyway, assuming you are lucky enough not to die of any other random chance (disease, accident, violence etc). Same reason people binge drink.

Basically most arguments come down to mild benefits or smugness.

Meat eating as a catalyst for evolution of the human brain is pretty well known anon. One /fit/fag in the modern day hardly disproves that.

As for whether or not it's necessary now for a functioning brain probably not but it was originally.

Of course what is natural is not always what is good. Drinking cow milk is 'unnatural' means shit all when humans do many, many things that are 'unnatural' of which veganism is but one.

Which you've mixed in with a bunch of YouTube videos.

Like I said, Pastebin isn't a peer reviewed journal. My criticism is valid: peer review tends to notice and correct things like cherry picking your sources, as you have.

Like I said, your opinion "backed up" by a bunch of articles (and YouTube videos) that you've cherry picked to support your pre-supposed position isn't "evidence". It's "opinion".
>>
>>7620361

>All the peer reviewed studies are linked on that pastebin because the list is too long to post here you fucking moron.

Anon you can cherrypick a study to prove almost everything is carcinogenic in excess or if produced in a poor way or is simply 'linked' to poor health. Lies, damn lies and statistics and all that.

Hell half of those links focus only on the extremes of battery farming or similar. And a good number of the health studies are sticking vegans against the average diet which merely proves those who carefully watch what they eat and avoid overly processed foods (which are largely meat-based) are healthier.

Again comparing two reasonable diets, one vegan and one not, will show you the benefits are fairly minimal. They're there but again most people are not giving up drink for minimal benefits, why do it with meat?
>>
There's no such things as a "vegan diet" so all of the studies are bullshit to begin with. If I eat rice, sugar and oil exclusively every day, that's a vegan diet and yet it will be tremendously unhealthy compared to a balanced omnivorous diet. The whole premise of "veganism" as a completely separate category of diet is retarded since the difference between a 95% vegan diet and a 100% vegan diet is actually no more than 5%. My diet is 90 - 95% vegan by calories and yet veganfags will call me an omnivore and unhealthy and immoral because I eat some fish and cheese a couple times a week.

Do you know how many animals die as a direct result of industrial farming techniques?

Do you know how many die indirectly?

Hell depending how you want to define murder a significant number of vegas is going to reduce the number of animals that even get a chance at life. Properly farmed animals have shit pretty good all considered.

Out of interest also what's your position on abortion? This might seem irrelevant but if we're asserting the right of fucking fish and poultry to survive it's a relevant question along with the standard 'where do you cut the line?'. Do we go down to the insect level? If so why stop there. If not then what's your minimum definition for something to have a life to be ended (i.e. 'murdered').
>>
>>7620699

>how could this possibly be morally wrong?

Many modern vegan theories rely on treating animals as moral equals. The famous 'speciesism' bullshit goes along these lines.

Do note that they are given SOME of the same moral rights as us without any of the same moral duties. Of course even the moral rights they're given are arbitrary and only extend as far as not being eaten instead of, say, a moral right to housing, voting, protection and so on.

A lot of this half-baked ideology rests on comparisons with the mentally disabled or children but the former actually get the right to vote in most countries and both are given certain rights in terms of housing, access to land and so on.

And as that other anon says ask a vegan to explain their ideologie's compatibility with abortion. You wouldn't believe the meltdowns it causes.

And a good number of the health studies are sticking vegans against the average diet which merely proves those who carefully watch what they eat and avoid overly processed foods (which are largely meat-based) are healthier.

This. I'd love to see a comparison of a vegan diet against an actual balanced, healthy omnivorous diet, because when it's just against 'average' you're lumping us in with all the drooling, McDonalds-twice-a-day retards.
>>
>>7621105

Spot on anon.

Basically it comes down to this:

A tiger is my moral 'equal' despite not having the moral or intellectual capabilities I posses. Any argument claiming we give certain rights to the mentally disabled but not to, say, tigers fails to note that even the mentally disabled are smarter than they are AND that we don't give full rights to those so affected (seriously we don't give them full rights in terms of possession of dangerous substances/weapons, legal rights/duties, CC licenses etc).

And that doesn't even begin to touch on the practical issues of favouring one's own species or the utilitarian consequences of treating retarded kids like cattle. Even if you can prove we're favouring our own species unfairly there's any number of arguments for such a bias that form part of a legitimate philosophy.

Again: vegan moral/ethical theories are basically the kiddie-tier shit of shallow philosophy. Play the thought experiment of you being trapped in a cave with a human and a cow. The only solution is starvation or eating one of your two companions. Moral vegans must choose between them equally (or indeed have a 1/3rd chance to be eaten themselves). If they say 'veganism doesn't count in extreme circumstances' then clearly animals are not morally equal.
>>
>>7621114

>This. I'd love to see a comparison of a vegan diet against an actual balanced, healthy omnivorous diet, because when it's just against 'average' you're lumping us in with all the drooling, McDonalds-twice-a-day retards.

Generally a fair comparison comes out (very) mildly in favour of veganism. We're talking a few years if you're lucky and super hardcore with your vegan shit and exersise. Even then you're granting them fancy supplements and ingredients that are massively more expensive in environmental terms particularly if the entire world wants to go vegan. Guinea pigs, rabbits, shellfish, fish, goats and chicken are kept (or eaten) by third-world communities for a reason and that reason isn't fucking tasty meat.

Africans also don't hunt monkeys for fun.
>>
pleb

the Mt Athos diet is quite clearly the peak of foodkino and it isnt vegan
>>
>>7621130

Or for the tl;dr version

Humans are by dint of their very ability to consider moral vegetarianism not required to adhere to it. We are not moral equals with any animal on earth as no animal on earth has a comparable moral system (or, indeed, anything we'd recognise as a moral system at all).

The only POSSIBLE exceptions are elephants and perhaps dogs though the latter is because of a shared history of co-evolution. Even in these cases we have to push the definition of moral system to extremes.

Note also vegans shut up quickly when faced with actual criticism. Much though they'd like to think otherwise they are not some sort of super-moral humans they're just smug little hipster faggots with no ability to think for themselves. When faces with arguments outside of the standard responses their copy-pastas cannot apply and they are left helpless.

Humans are an invasive species in a lot of the world. Should we go hunting and killing humans? I may be efficient to protect the planet, but pretty much everyone thinks it's unethical.

You've both admitted a cow has less rights than a human. Therefore discrimination against them is not speciesist. Clearly you rate them as morally inferior to humans on some level.

Why, then, deny a cow a happy life on a farm before a short and humane execution?

I am, of course, not advocating amercian style mass 'industrial' farming but you must explain to me why we can't have ethical food production and a sane diet.

Now you can claim ethical farming is unnecessary suffering but that marks you as someone who has never been on a 'proper' farm. Your average '''free range''' chicken, for example, leads a pampered lifestyle in which they do whatever they want, lay eggs and maybe are culled before old age takes them. How is that worse than never living at all? Remember that a world-wide vegan movement means all farm animals no longer have the luxury of domestication.

Do you seriously think domestication is a one-way street? In purely evolutionary terms domesticated animals (cows, chicken, sheep) are massively successful while horses have lost out due to industrial advances.

Hell you work for a pitiful wage until old age while the rich benefit. You're basically a 'free range' human who is happily ignorant of his true condition.

Finally you've dodged the harder questions.

Is it fair to keep animals as pets? What about keeping them out of 'your' land? Surely this is, to a degree, unnecessary suffering. It might be less than the 'suffering' of death and consumption but you are still enforcing it. Once you open up your house and garden to all animals maybe we can talk about unnecessary suffering.
>>
>>7622064

Plants 'takes' land from animals and hurts a great many smaller animals during the harvesting process not to mention preventing them from eating the crops.

It's only degrees of 'harm' or 'suffering'. If we're going to start treating animals as moral equals why is it fine to force them off their lands to grow your shitty beans or build your massive apartments? This is still 'suffering' just not 'murder'.
>>
>>7622059

Vegans have never lived with the reality of farming. Nobody who has thinks animals are even mildly comparable to humans.

Anyone who has been near shellfish or poultry will tell you they are fucking dumb and will happily love the 'farmed' life.

Again lets compare, say, dogs to humans. You'd surely give a human the right to choose to live or not if in extreme pain (lets say due to cancer).

Would you allow a dog to choose? A dog would ALWAYS choose life no matter how short and painful.

Animals are fucking dumb in comparison to humans. Treated ethically (this is key) they actually benefit from being farmed or kept as pets. In the UK, for example, there is a significant argument for eating horses to keep them treated well in later life rather than the current situation in which they are abandoned.

So you believe a cow has the same rights as a human?

Should cows vote?
>>
>>7621990

>Veganism is a rejection of UNNECESSARY suffering, obviously in a situation like yours, suffering is unavoidable.

So why is milking a cow or eating the eggs of a chicken 'unnecessary suffering'? By all accounts cows and chicken kept for such purposes lead a (comparatively) luxurious life and, as any farmer will tell you, don't care shit about their milk/eggs. Now you can, of course, claim eggs are 'potential chickens' or milk is 'baby cow food' but I'll easily point to abortion and ask you to explain that inconsistency.

Compare this to cows and chicken left to run free without human intervention. Unless you intend to keep sanctuaries with cows and chicken at the same population levels as now you've surely caused unnecessary suffering.

Saying whether or not a cow should vote which would be completely dependent on their capacity to even understand such a concept has absolutely no relativity to whether or not they should be farmed

>Saying whether or not a cow should vote which would be completely dependent on their capacity to even understand such a concept

So you want us to accept that:

1. Cows have the same rights as humans
2. Except they can't understand the same concepts as humans
3. So you don't think they should have the same rights as humans.

That's confusing.

>has absolutely no relativity to whether or not they should be farmed

The entire question is whether we should farm animals, or extend them the same rights as humans. You're claiming they should have the same rights, although also at the same time admitting that they shouldn't. Which is it, please?

>>
>>7622132

>It still takes far less than animal agriculture as you are not just taking land for that but also land to feed them with the food they are provided

If you're talking about farming cows in deserts in the USA i'd agree but that's an extreme case. Once you can easily grow AND harvest fucking beans on the side of, say, a Scottish mountain during winter feel free to come back to me on the 'land to feed' meat. And again you still have to account for the costs of shipping vegan foods around the world in massive amounts. This is not easy.

>How fucking dense are you that you can't understand such a simple concept? Is pretending to be as oblivious as possible some form of intellectual argument?

You clearly understand little-nothing about farming (common with vegans). Organic farms, for example, rely heavily on animal products as fertiliser. If we are to go for vegan food production only the investment in chemical fertilisers and pesticides will be massive.

Look into, say, crop rotation. Growing fodder is important every now and then and fodder is fucking worthless if not fed to animals. Do you expect humans to eat grass? If we're going to replace it with artificial fertilisers we'll need massive investment in the relevant industries or we'll need to accept farmland being worthless 1/4 of the time etc. Certainly 'organic' farming is heavily reliant on animals.

Comparing the truly idiotic practices of American ranches with vegan food is a bullshit argument. Compare sustainable farming with it and you'll see the inferiority of vegan-only methods. It is simply impractical.
>>
>>7622153
>Many cows and chickens are treated poorly

But not all. Yet vegans lump the ones that are treated well and live comfortably into the same basket and then act as though they're all at the extreme end of the scale, when that's patently false.

>I want you to accept that they should not be slaughtered

Luckily most people unlike yourself have actually evolved to make sure things like this are not an issue. Things including not being entirely reliant upon beans

It is no different than the costs of pollution, environmental damage, and shipping meat and dairy around the world as a result of animal agriculture. This is a stupid discussion and you are a very stupid person

Obviously not since you seem to be under the impression that most forms of farming are completely cheery and luxurious.

>Many cows and chickens are treated poorly and kept in horrible conditions to extract eggs and dairy products

Many vegans have poor nutrition and end up with unhealthy kids. You can't use extremes as examples faggot.

>No, it's not by all accounts. You keep giving this absolute bullshit narrative you're some educated farmboy.

Nigger chickens can function fine without their head (i.e. brains). They are not comparable to humans in any way, shape or form. Cows are also fucking stupid and frankly herbivores being inferior to omnivores is established fact in evolution.

>Well we're not talking about abortion and no one has brought up any abortion stances

That doesn't let you weasel out of it. You must give an account of abortion consistent with your vegan ideology. If you cannot you are merely basing shit on 'muh cute lambs' rather than consistent ideology.

>Human intervention doesn't have to mean raping cows and chickens for food

In what way is it rape? Correctly farmed cows and chickens lead luxurious lives and have a quick death in the prime of their life. That's better than many humans get.

>The mass slaughter and abuse of countless animals for centuries does not justify it to be a permanent thing

Slaughter of animals =/= slaugher of sapient (note not merely sentient but sapient) beings. 'Abuse' needs justification.

If push comes to shove you'll value a human life over that of a cow. Clearly you accept that sapience > sentience. Rhetorical bullshit (i.e. baseless assertions of 'abuse' or 'rape') doesn't count for shit.
>>

Factory farms do not provide an argument against ethical farming. Certainly they don't explain why milk, eggs, cheese etc are not acceptable.

Humans are very sophisticated (so far as we can tell) animals with complex habits who exist in a universe. All things that take place in said universe are therefore 'natural'. Just because you perceive deliberation and choice regarding the consumption of animal products does not make anything about it 'unnatural'. A chicken or a cow on a farm is as natural as an asteroid whirling through space.

>>
>>7622184
>many vegans have poor noturtion and end up with unhealthy kids

The thing is here, that's actually not true, it is pretty clear many cows and chickens are treated horribly. It's not using an extreme as an example when it's the fucking norm you retard

This is coming from the same person siding with someone equivocating not slaughtering something as giving them voting rights

You could argue with efficiency. Growing meat consumes way more resources than for example vegetables. As a matter of fact it is impossible for every living human to eat as much meat as an US citizen right now could.

Artificial meat will probably solve this. It cannot come fast enough even if only to stop these shitposting threads like this one.

Come back to me once you can grow vegan food on the side of a mountain which is as often as not covered in snow. Even when it isn't the shitty plants are useful only for feeding sheep.

While we're at it lets look at places like St Kilda. I'm sure they could replace their sheep and bird-eggs with fucking legumes on a rock in the middle of nowhere.

You cannot compare the extremes of inefficient US farming to the world as a whole.

>It is no different than the costs of pollution, environmental damage, and shipping meat and dairy around the world as a result of animal agriculture. This is a stupid discussion and you are a very stupid person

You can farm some form of animal almost anywhere. You cannot grow sufficient vegan food in most of the world. You clearly do not understand things like crop rotation or fertilisation either. Baseless claims of me being a 'stupid person' have no relevance.

>Obviously not since you seem to be under the impression that most forms of farming are completely cheery and luxurious.

Never said that.

>Vegan does not mean organic, you're still entirely ignoring all the feed provided to animals like cows which includes plants

Cows are the least efficient animals so using them as an example is unfair. Again sheep or goats can be reared on land that is otherwise unusable. Chicken can live off fucking nothing. Pigs can be fed on leftovers alone. Rabbits, guinea pigs etc cam be bread in tiny areas.

You cannot extend inefficient American farming practices to the entire world.

And again non-organic farming requires mass production of fertilisers. Look up crop rotation.

>That's not the only thing being fed to them you absolute fucking retard

>>7622244

I would argue that killing has no positive or negative value and is just something that can happen. As sentient beings in a community we have applied a negative value to killing because we want to live. That doesn't mean it's inherently negative. You can arbitrarily feel good or bad about anything in the universe. Hence that one native tribe in Papua New Guinea that forces little boys to suck off their elders. As a collective we find that abhorrent in the western world but the universe doesn't have much to say about it.

>Bivalves have preganglia

Which in absolutely no way, at all, makes them the slightest bit sentient. So like I said, is it okay to chow down in a nice pan-seared scallop? Maybe with a bit of black pudding, if the blood was given willingly and with full consent?

I mean if you're going to argue from a point of moral superiority it's usually sensible to know where your high ground it. You seem to be stood in a watery ditch and shouting at everyone else about how damp your ankles are.

It's the norm nowadays in certain countries perhaps. Still gives you no basis for a moral judgement. If we're going to go down the route of moral consequences you're also fucked as vegan (utilitarianism benefits farming believe me).

>This is coming from the same person siding with someone equivocating not slaughtering something as giving them voting rights

Explain why you cut the rights of cows off at not being eaten without being arbitrary.

Sapient =/= sentient. Feel free to prove me wrong on that point.

Are you? Rape hardly applies to non-sapient species either. Unless you wish to start trying male cats or dogs for 'rape' in court you've got no basis for a judgement. And again why give them the right not to be killed but not the right not to be 'raped'?

>>7622320
>What makes killing them okay?

Because humans are capable of digesting the fats and proteins and their meat happens to be calorie dense. Humans also tend to like the taste. Finally, as other animals are not the same species, there's no moral justification not too: animals higher up the food chain kill and consume animals lower on the food chain regularly, and humans are at the top of the food chain.

>You could argue with efficiency. Growing meat consumes way more resources than for example vegetables. As a matter of fact it is impossible for every living human to eat as much meat as an US citizen right now could.

So again we are extending the excesses of American production to the entire world. Cherry-picking at its finest.

We cannot take the underfed vegan child and extend that over all vegan diets, why do the same for poor farming practices in the USA?

>Artificial meat will probably solve this. It cannot come fast enough even if only to stop these shitposting threads like this one.

Artificial meat is hardly free and has no bearing on moral arguments. Ethically farmed animals will still live superior lives to unfarmed ones.

Most people in the field realize nutritional science is essentially just getting paid to arrive at a conclusion X lobby or Y agra corp

It's been memescience since the late 80's

humans are OK at processing meat, and veg that isn't grain or legumes/certain seeds

Humans also much more readily absorb vital nutrients from meat

If you haven't researched it for yourself and can show me a peer reviewed study that didn't cherry pick populations etc then you have no idea what you're talking about

Nobody claimed that.

>This is a stupid argument. We as a society today are completely capable of living a vegan lifestyle

Maybe in the USA if you ship in food and mass produce certain supplements. Believe it or not USA =/= the world.

>Your dissatisfaction with these areas go far beyond just living a vegan lifestyle and have vast economic implications

Non vegan-friendly climates are going to need a lot of cash to pay for importing food anon. We're taking butter, eggs and milk out of the equation not to mention leather, wool and suchlike.

>Completely false

Grow vegan food in the Scottish highlands. You can't even run tractors up the smaller hills.

>and irrelevant to our modern day situation

Only if we inefficiently ship food around the world.

>You basically did

Nope. Strawman pure and simple.

>And they still get fed a lot of crops

Still cherry-picking. Cows farmed in fucking desert are an extreme example and again USA =/= the world.

>You can extend veganism though. You seem to be under the impression every single place sticks to their single place and would only eat fucking beans

Shipping food around the world costs and properly farmed meat is efficient. Pigs eat useless left-overs, sheep and chicken turn useless farmland or crop-rotation fodder into food etc.

And again a varied vegan diet is inefficient. Just because you can buy shit from dickfuckistan in your posh little urban market doesn't mean shit all.

>No hunter or gatherer ever stayed in one place for their food, that's stupid, and no one does that today

Moving a few miles within the same climate isn't comparable to shipping food halfway across the world. And hunter-gathering was abandoned for a reason. Feel free to return to that lifestyle but good luck shitposting on 4chan.

>Cherrypicking

The issue is not US centric. It applies to every developed country. It is impossible for every human to consume as much meat as those countries do. It only works now because the others just don't or can't.

The moral argument with artificial meat goes as follows:
If you can eat meat without killing then there is no reason to kill.

with the agriculture that goes in on many 3rd world countries that produce crops for 1st world countries, they're left fairly poor but still able to sustain themselves with what they've grown and also generally make ~enough money

being forced to shift into growing shit like quinoa, the people growing eat gain no real nutrition from what they're growing and generally receive even less than what they were making before

Killing animals is wrong because killing animals is wrong. It's the circular vegan game! Hell even killing humans (sapients) being inherently wrong cannot be proven but good luck with mere sentients.

Correctly done animal farming isn't massively harmful to the environment. If we intend to remove everything that is unnecessary to 'save' the environment no matter how small the cost things like tv, shitposting on 4chan and shipping the foods for a varied vegan diet will need to go too as will breeding without regulation.

loperamide is an opioid agonist, fucks your intestinal motility right up essentially.

early trials were BTFO because they made it illegal as soon as they saw people were having fun with it too, in vitro stuff still supports all of it tho so we'll never know exactly how effective it is, esp because a catch all for the strongest mechanism of chemical addiction would be a huge pain for a lot of pharma firms

That the nomadic lifestyles of hunter-gatherers have no relevance to modern farming practices.

>The issue is not US centric. It applies to every developed country. It is impossible for every human to consume as much meat as those countries do. It only works now because the others just don't or can't.

Depending how you define developed country this is not always the case. And again insane excessive diets =/= sane omnivores. If you wish to advocate sane diets (i.e. less meat) and ethical meat production rather than veganism I'll back you all the fucking way

>>7622635
Modern farming practice is a direct effect of abandoning hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Humans chose to settle down and build farms to grow their own crops instead scavenging berries and nuts and raise animals.
>>
>>7622473

>If you can eat meat without killing then there is no reason to kill.

Unless the artificial meat is inferior or massively more expensive.

And if we're going for economic arguments and need over all else you can forget quality products entirely. Industrially produced crap is more environmentally friendly in the long run that high quality or 'handmade' products (or at least could be).

Nobody is denying that (as far as I know). The original point was in >>7622305 where 'no hunter gatherer stayed in one place' was claimed to be equivalent to industrial food production.

>>7622681

>Ants and spiders are sentient you fucking retard. Kelp is seaweed, not sentient

Where do you cut the line then? And what proof do you have for ants being sentient in the same manner as, say, chimps?

You must have a line where things are no longer sentient and this line must be non-arbitrary (i.e. you must have a sentience-test).

A vague claim at best. Be more precise. Reacting to stimuli alone is something plants do also, for example.

You're in a fundamentally flawed intellectual mindset if you don't know that morality is 100% subjective. This means you don't really know what subjective and objective mean.

Literally EVERY opinion anyone has ever thought is subjective. The only claims that are not subjective are some science and math.

You cannot prove that anything is right or wrong--murder, childbirth, etc.

2+2=4 is logically, objectively true. "murder is wrong" is just an opinion. (I don't want to live anywhere where murder is NOT considered wrong, but that's beside the point)
>>

Not really, I'm just saying it's a retarded thing to do to put anybody under a protective umbrella, as long as someone delivers fair points and arguments, he can call me a stupid nigger faggot kike all he wants, I'll return the favor and refute the arguments.

>>7620359
This is all just a rambling based off of false assumptions. 1. You're cherry picking your arguments on stuff that is completely fucking irrelevant and it's absolutely amazing the lengths you're going to delude yourself. 2. Vegan food is very fucking obviously (well I guess not if your IQ is below 100) more efficient in every way... This is not an argument and I'm convinced you're a troll. 3. Meat eaters consume just as much if not more supplements than vegans and you have no reason for your claim that vegan diets are wasteful. 4. Okay now you're just making it very painfully obvious you didn't even click the link in the OP. You have a deliberate lack of understanding of the studies and need to stop talking because you're going to confuse people. And your quality of life is improved dramatically on a healthy vegan diet much more than a "healthy" omnivorous diet.

I should have stopped reading at "none of the moral arguments hold weight" because a 3 year old could have told you you were full of shit at that point.

>>7620370
You deliberately misunderstood me. And it does the exact opposite of help the brain function today and I really don't care to get into a paleoanthropology argument because you're right, it's largely irrelevant and arguing why your assumptions are dumb is pointless.

>>7620370
You type like someone from 4chan. This is not a surprise.

>>7620374
Most of those are very recent studies, meta-analyses, and I lost a ton of bookmarks of studies so trust me there are hundreds more I could have given and there are multiples showing the same undeniable evidence. I appreciate criticism when it comes to verifying scientific information but this is just very silly because it's obvious you're just a butthurt meat eater who is desperate for justifications. And the YouTube videos are at the top only and they show undercover investigations of factory farms... The fact that you're trying to degrade the information because of that is just sad.

>>7620390
Then why haven't any meat eaters ever posted a comparable amount of studies showing that veganism is bad for you? Because they can't. There has only been one recent study attempting to say that vegetarianism is bad for you that I'm aware of and the only reason for this is because the results were blown out of proportion by the media when in reality they weren't even significant and well I won't get into it but it did not show that veganism was unhealthy to any degree to keep it simple.

And lol, those videos show almost exclusively what is standard practice in the industry. Including for "humane" farms. I even provided a study saying even the best slaughterhouses under the best conditions accidentally abuse the animals horrifically. (As if ending their short lives isn't enough.) Stop making assumptions you jackass.

And you literally didn't fucking even skim through the list of studies before you started typing, like every single other jackass here. Why do you think you deserve my response when you don't even bother to skim through my post? There are huge benefits to a vegan diet and huge risks to an omnivorous one .
>>
>>7620410
You didn't look at any of the studies: fact.

>>7620416
Except parents who feed their children cow's milk are actually the ones giving them nutritional deficiencies since cow's milk leeches calcium from the body, and meat eaters are in fact the ones who have no problem torturing animals, destroying the planet for all others, and abusing their children all due to their ego.

NICE. What about shortening? I don't think Earth Balance makes a salt free version but I love it. And I can't speak on the fat profile of coconut oil. Never been concerned about fats unless they're trans fats or animal fats (did you know all the environmental toxins, pesticides become concentrated in the fat of animals? Not sure if that was one of the studies I linked in the OP.) Isn't aquafaba made from the liquid in a chickpea can though? I don't know how they make it so forgive me if I'm assuming it's easy to make.

Do you not have dairy free ice cream where you live? I mean I used to make my own and it's not hard if you actually don't. But if you haven't had cashew ice cream I feel sorry for you. I'm kind of an expert on vegan junk food so I don't judge fatties.

>>7621957
Yeah, agreed. Except I totally think we should go hunting humans. At least sterilize the dumbest ones anyway.

>>7621999
I actually feel sorry for people like this because I remember whenever I thought meat was palatable. If you've eaten raw slugs all your life you might think they taste good until you visit a first world country. Veganism is like moving to a first world country after growing up in the slums.

>>7622023
Sorry to break it to you but "humane" is a marketing term and there is essentially no such thing but you'd know that if you clicked the link and watched the videos. Not to be snotty because at least you're trying unlike the majority of these neckbeards. But yeah, veganism is the only realistic solution to animal abuse for a long list of reasons. And veganic agriculture is a thing. And nothing is better than veganism get real.

>>7622053
Um I used to work with farmers and my grandparents were farmers. And cycling everywhere is a valid concept if you do live in the city or are a masochist.

>>7622054
And giving money to the animal agriculture industry every meal of every day like it's your favorite charity has no impact too right? Veganism is just a sign of having the very lowest level of decency. The act of following a vegan diet alone is like seeing a puppy getting lit on fire and not doing anything, but eating animal products is like seeing a puppy getting lit on fire and saying "Hey I'd love to see more of this please take my money to buy more puppies and gasoline! Oh and keep the change!"

>>7622531
lmao you think the current widespread omnivorous diet doesn't have costs? Vegan diets do nothing but save resources and save money. Fucking hell I wish people who make statements about things they know absolutely nothing about were all barred from the internet.
