will I die from starvation if I don't fuck an animal?
Nope. Just like you won't die of starvation if you don't eat an animal.
So, real question, where do you draw the ethical line? Are crickets or ants subject to this discussion? Like, is eating crickets supporting their genocide? Arguably, owning and using any kind of plastic material contributes to the depopulation of species world-wide, as does modern agriculture. Is eating corn or soybeans contributing to the genocide of insects or birds? Where is the line for you?
I draw the line at factory farming sentient creatures.
What if I were in control of a switch at a trolley track with a trolley barrelling down and if I were to eat a cheeseburger that is sitting next to me, the trolley would stop and if not it would start multi-track drifting over one cow and five chicken that are currently tied on the tracks and then run into an ammunition depot located in the Urgent Care section of an actively used children's hospital, killing all patients?
That happens regularly to me for some reason.
Average trolley problem
so you're saying people who live in extreme cold climates like Siberia or northern Alaska/Canada can be vegans?
Why do we always hear this from guys in fuckin Kansas City or whatever? Do you live in a region where you cannot get by without eating meat? No? Then you won't starve if you don't eat meat.
Do you personally live in the extreme North of Canada away from any kind of civilization or logistics?
Also sorry for not being terminally online enough to reply to you instantly, I have been spending time with loved ones. Maybe you should unplug for a bit and give that a try too.
I don't see how my living environment is relevant to the point that diet is entirely dependent on your environment.
also, your personal attacks won't work on me. it's disappointing you even stooped that low when all I've been is cordial.
Smugness isn't cordial Mr "judging by the downvotes... "
For one, lol get banned troll.
Secondly because you're doing the classic bad faith argument of saying an exception that effects a tiny, tiny percent of the of the global population invalidates and argument that applies to 99.99% of people.
Coming to the vegan sub to smugly argue against veganism using completely bad faith arguments like a redditor is not cordial, you're being an annoying prick on purpose. Because you think you're smarter than you are and you don't like people having different opinions. Which is why you got banned.
Or in summary: L bozo
Me when I die from starvation (I haven't eaten an animal since 2017)
