VEGANISM IS A LIE.

What do vehicles with petroleum-burning engines, and anything electric have in common? They're all powered by FOSSIL FUELS, which come from dead animals. Vegans aren't allowed to own or use ANYTHING that came from an animal -- therefore any so-called 'vegan' that drives a vehicle or uses anything electric is CHEATING and is NOT VEGAN. They may as well stop kidding themselves and go eat a steak, they all FAIL.

So-called 'vegans' also suffer from progressive cognitive deficit due to chronic amino acid deficiencies from malnutrition. That's why vegancucks don't make sense, their brains don't work correctly anymore. People I've known who were vegan then gave it up and went back to eating animal products regularly showed positive changes in their personalities and started being able to think more clearly again.

Vegans brains are so addled that they think you can raise an INFANT as vegan and expect it to be healthy and develop properly -- which it will NOT. Any pediatrician will tell you that you should not feed a baby a strict vegetarian diet, it will sicken, fail to develop, fail to thrive, and ultimately DIE. Pediatricians who encounter parents who insist, against all professional medical advice, in feeding their infant a Vegan diet, are reported to the police and to Child Protective Services, because it is legally considered CHILD ABUSE. What does THAT tell you?

Face it, vegancucks: humans are OMNIVORES, even many vegans admit it, and your meme 'lifestyle' is anti-health, anti-HUMAN, and exists as a political statement more than anything else, erroneously placing dumb lower animals above humans, which is pants-on-head stupid.

More evidence that Veganism is a LIE and actually hurts humans in the long run:

Where do vegans draw the line between life that's okay to eat and not okay to eat.

Plants are a form of life.
Do you only care about life that is similar to your own species?
All animals and plants share the same DNA which is basically a code of only 4 'letters' which code for the same amino acids from which all proteins are made.
The mechanism by which sugars are oxidised to release their energy (respiration) is almost universal.

It seems to me that you have some sort of bias of not eating something that is visually comparable to humans.

Animals aren't able to elaborate on things, like humans are.
In other words, they don't know shit about what's going on.
And if the only requirement is that they also have nerves that fire electrical impulses to produce chemical reactions, then if we were to breed animals that lacked the ability for nerves to fire electrical impulses, would it then be okay to eat those animals?

>>42703192
Which is why we prevent them from entering free society and institutionalise them so as to ensure they don't harm anyone or themselves. We limit their rights i.e. their rights to buy guns, their rights to free movement, liberty, privacy etc. We do the same to children too.
Their rights exist, but are limited and they are treated accordingly to those rights.

Why the fuck do you keep making your own points to argue against?
There is a big difference between "meat grown in a jar" and an animal that just can't feel anything.
What if, get this, we were to breed animals, let them run in fields, safely from other predators, let them fuck and enjoy life with all feelings, then put a painless pill in their food which turns off their nerves, then kill and eat them?

>>
>>42703285
I'm not making up points to argue against, your argument is that you must be able to elaborate on an idea to be sentient. That isn't true. That's your made up definition that isn't what the definition of sentient is.

>then put a painless pill in their food which turns off their nerves, then kill and eat them?

Can I do that to you?
>>
>>42703267
You mentioned the mentally disabled not me. They have diminished rights, and we treat them accordingly. Animals have no capacity to shoulder obligations, and as such they have no rights, and they are treated accordingly. They have been selectively bred for centuries to make them the most efficient supplies of milk, eggs and meat. To the point that not milking cows would cause significant pain and eventually death as they produce more milk than their calves can drink. Not consuming animal products would lead to the extinction of at least some animal species.

Because you can easily apply the same logic and justify owning and murdering anyone based on successively smaller pools of individuals.

You're not my countryman, you're not from the same city as me, you may not be the same race as me, you're not in my immediate family so why should I care about you? It's called empathy. I just do care about you and I don't want you to suffer, I can't imagine being different.

That's fine, but you get to make that choice. You're just assuming a cow would make the same choice you would.

>Animals aren't capable to give any sort of consent because their cognitive ability is not highly developed.

Is that a justification for killing and eating them? Because babies and mentally disabled people can't 'give consent' either. Therefore fair game? We can kill?
>>
>>42703356
>Why does it matter that we're human?
Because it's our race and our biological purpose is to reproduce and ensure the continuation of our species.
>Does that tiny difference in dna and a bigger frontal lobe justify going from severe punishments for murder to actually celebrating murder?
I haven't seen anyone celebrating murder of animals.
If you watch ancient tribes that hunt down animals, they pray to "gods" and pay respects to the animal before they kill it.
I don't feel that is celebrating murder. Nor do I feel that some bored out of his mind slaughter house worker is celebrating killing animals.

If I died tomorrow, and you somehow found out, you wouldn't give a shit.
Empathy is a trait that has survived evolution because it's beneficial for the survival of your species.

Why don't you go into a lions den with your empathy and see how many children you can father afterwards?

>>
>>42702964
Your choice to live in this consumeristic society that destroys habitats and pollutes the planet on a massive scale, utilising daily the basic yet destructive products that you spare no real consideration to as regards their creation, far outpaces any "ethical points" you gain from choosing not to consume animal products. You have no impact on the actual suffering of those animals if you haven't killed them yourself, either; whether or not you choose to buy chicken breasts at your local store is irrelevant. Those chickens will be killed regardless, and someone or something else will inevitably consume them. Your decision to use any products that actively pollute the environment is a far greater contributor to animal and human suffering than your decision to buy or not buy dead meat, products like your car and various other machines. If you want to be a vegan for personal health reasons, then fine; any pretensions of doing it for ethical reasons, though, is a short-sighted and hypocritical grasping for moral comfort and standing.

>That's fine, but you get to make that choice. You're just assuming a cow would make the same choice you would.

Considering I am way more cognitive able than a cow, then yes, I can choose what I feel is better for that cow.
I can provide a safe and "happy" life for that cow for many years and ensure the continuation of their species, which is perhaps the most basic point of life.
They wouldn't survive in the wild, eventually.

>>42703430
>Is that a justification for killing and eating them? Because babies and mentally disabled people can't 'give consent' either. Therefore fair game? We can kill?
We know babies will evolve their cognitive abilities eventually, and we need babies for the continuation of our species.
Mentally disabled people.. let's not go there, it would take forever to discuss. I don't think we should kill mentally disabled people, but perhaps screening during pregnancy and abortion is what we need as a society eventually, with consent from the parents, etc.

You have an odd perspective of food.
I have heard of hunting yes, i don't really get what's cool about it, but they preferably eat what they shoot.
We don't have thanksgiving dinner where I live, so I don't really know much about it. However, I doubt it's a "celebration of murder of a turkey".
They don't phrase eating lots of protein as being proud of consuming a corpse. Their emphasis is what that piece of protein will do for their gains.
They don't even think of it as a part of an animal.

Why would you stop me from dying?

Why? I can see several futures for that cow, and in my vision it serves a purpose, it has a place in modern society rather than just roaming around getting sick and dying or killed by some other animal.

>Why not?
Because we can learn much about human biology because of them.
They should be studied, but eventually prevented from entering the gene pool.
Perhaps we can fix mental disabilities by studying them, making them productive and happy members of society.

There aren't really any way of "fixing a cow", it's not retarded.

>Of course I would, what a stupid question. I would halt every unwanted death worldwide. Would I give everyone immortality if I could? Of course. Would I prefer you to die happy at an old age, in optimal conditions? Yes, even though you're a totally random stranger.

So you wouldn't allow people the sweet release of death?
What about future generations?
Isn't it even more selfish to not allow others the experience of life?
We can't multiply forever, we'll run out of resources and/or space.

An eternity of life sounds like a nightmare, like hell.
Eventually our sun will collapse and you'll just float around in space, being immortal, bored out of your mind in a constant state of almost dying.
Sounds horrible.

I literally said 'unwanted' implying anyone who wanted to die at any point could. If you had this power and you didn't give people the option you'd truly be an immoral piece of shit. People wouldn't really need resources if they were immortal huh?

>trying to warp what I said into me trapping people unwillingly in an undying hell

lmao, desperate. All I said was if I could stop you from dying tomorrow I would, and if I could stop little African kids from starving I would, and everyone else. You're saying it's wrong to want that? Seriously ask yourself and answer if I knew you would die tomorrow and I could stop it, and then you looked back after being dead hypothetically, you really wouldn't care that I did nothing? You wouldn't want me to change things so you lived another day?

Still not paying attention. There are no ethical gains or losses from abstaining from meat; you will have no impact on an individual basis upon meat-production industries by choosing whether or not to buy dead meat. The act itself is completely irrelevant. If you want to have an ethical/moral impact, then you have to actually strive to enact social change; you can claim no "little bit of good" by doing something as passive as abstaining from meat consumption on a local basis when that will have no actual impact on meat production or "animal suffering." Meat consumption is growing or shrinking not because of your choice to buy or not buy dead animal parts and to engage strangers in moral debates on the Internet, but because some individuals and organisations are arguing and enacting changes on a scale that affects entire communities, policy-making bodies, industries, etc.; scientific and consumer-industry movements that argue how current levels of meat production are environmentally insustainable, how insect protein is far more efficient and far more suitable for consumption, so on and so forth. You might actually have an ethical impact if you started local community outreaches on meat consumption that ultimately change the amount of meat retailers purchase, but again, you are only making pretensions of moral superiority and ethical comfort by electing not to buy meat that you know *will* be bought.

What do you mean?
Option 3: a cow starts his own chain of hotels in California?
Cows eat grass, walk, run, fuck, shit.
I thought you would get that a cow wasn't going to do some extraordinary just because it's not factory farmed.
I do advocate better lives for cows, not being stuck in tight spaces, etc. Sure, give them good lives in grassy fields. And have them serve a greater cause when they die.

They should be studied, but eventually prevented from entering the gene pool.

Hopefully the parents will screen the fetus during pregnancy and either choose an abortion or choose to raise their child.
If they choose to raise the child, we have to research ways of preventing this in future fetuses.
So, if 2 downs-people have kids, hopefully they will choose to take some sort of medicine to prevent their child from having downs, or they choose to raise the child themselves, but they won't be able to raise their child, at which point it becomes property of the state, which then will cure it anyways.

"Moral truth" - there is no such thing.

I understand completely what you're saying, the problem is that what you're saying makes no sense. Even one less customer means less money. Producing a pound of meat costs resources and money. If you overproduce by one measly pound, that's a loss. It's a tiny tiny loss of course, compared to the size of the industry, but it still counts. There are countries now with a double digit percentage of vegans. All those people are individuals who made an individual decision not to eat meat.

Your passivity and abstentionism in engaging someone that isn't even against the banning of meat-production demonstrates exactly why you're a weak-willed, self-deceiving pretender clinging to ineffectual false virtue.

The dent in meat consumption that those vegans represent is an ethical victory that can be claimed only by those that made the arguments that swayed those vegans in the first place. You must proselytise to fertile ground or strive towards some form of reform if you want to attain virtue in the anti-meat ethical system, as that is what will have an actual impact; choosing to abstain from meat in that instance becomes a matter of avoiding hypocrisy, a point in a separate ethical framework that you can embrace or revile based on your ethical stance on hypocrisy.

>Seriously ask yourself and answer if I knew you would die tomorrow and I could stop it, and then you looked back after being dead hypothetically, you really wouldn't care that I did nothing?
Well, if you had some godly knowledge of me going to die and didn't prevent it, and we were friends, then yes. If you had this knowledge and power over every being on earth, you'd be a some sort of god, and you probably had some reason for not allowing me to live.
>You wouldn't want me to change things so you lived another day?
It depends, would I know I was going to die?
Then I would just say goodbye to everyone I cared about and prepare my death to ease the job for the ones i left behind.
It doesn't really matter if you stall my death a single day, I would just live one day extra.
Granting immortality is another thing.
But why the hell are we talking about immortality? It doesn't exist.

I don't think any vegan or vegetarian will make an argument to keep vegetablized/braindead people like Terri Schiavo alive. That's different than killing them though. If anyone can decide to kill them it's their legal guardian / next of kin / spouse / the state I suppose.

They ceaselessly flaunt their beliefs and lifestyles in front of peoples faces and despite not believing in a religion, have somehow turned that lack of belief into a "morally superior" religion. Come to think of it, you are like those flamboyant parading faggots too.

The ethical argument for veganism is based on logic, not empathy. It's really simple.
You can eat "X", which causes someone else to die, and "Y", which doesn't. Both X and Y are food items you can get all the necessary nutrients and taste pleasure, if you can cook properly, both can be as cheap and protein dense as you will need. If there is literally no benefit to eating X, why pick it over Y?
Note how not only I didn't use the word "empathy", but didn't even use the concept to tiptoe around it.
>But wait
, the observant non vegan said,
>What you say is only correct if the assumption at the first of the explanation (that animals qualify as SOMEONE) is correct. I don't think animals qualify as "someone". There.
The "if" part is true, however animals DO qualify as someone.
You don't call your dog it, you call them he or she. You give them names and interact with them. You'd get angry at someone kicking them, you want to pet them, comfort them and play fetch. You want to watch gifs of them.
You can do the same with pigs or cows.
If you did the same to a potato, you'd be in the looney bin.
You don't want to eat a pig or a cow, you want to eat bacon and steak because they happen to be juicy, salty and fatty food. You even name them pork and beef because subconsciously it makes you feel bad. There is nothing about the act of killing that makes meat superior, or any quality in meat either.
