i never got the "it's a religion" dunk
like, it's a system of ethics. is this like the weird inverse of religious people saying you can't have morals without religion? atheists (presumably) saying you have to be a religion to have morals? surely you don't actually think this in any other context
it's better to never have existed in the first place than to be born into the life of the average livestock
brother what do you think the cows eat, you think billions of animals are sustained by grazing grass on picturesque open fields?
besides, veganism by definition is an ethical philosophy and excludes the harming of animals so slaughter is out of the question (as is exploiting them for further products)
stupid dunks aside, everyone going vegan literally the exact same time is an interesting thought experiment
there's a fucktonne of livestock alive right now that a fully veganised society would have duty of care for, right? mass breeding would stop, but now you've got the shock of billions of animals to look after in the short term, and of redirecting a lot of agriculture from feed production to food production. could have some fun coming up with the logistics of that
btw between feral animals and sanctuaries they wouldn't actually go extinct (a better fate than what they currently have!)
don't you think this is an ironic comic to post for an account whose main contributions to this community are comics in the format of "turns to guy I don't like: you are fucking stupid"
what arguments bro we've been going in circles for like twenty posts now because you're just showing off how based and unempathetic you are
not judging brother there's plenty of us on lemmy but it takes either money or neurodivergence to go on this sort of campaign and i don't think big ag is so desperate as to pay people to troll on a niche federated reddit-like
oh it all makes sense now you're autistic and anti-wokeisme is your special interest, explains the constant posting and performative south park style apathy thing
anyway, i won't change your mind and you won't change mine (not like you're trying) just pointing out a diet of steak isn't better for you than a lot of processed vegan stuff, no matter what twitter influencers with a $3k/month steroid stack tell you
lol what
saturated fats exist in large quantities in all red meats, it's got nothing to do with where you live
sorry rfk but half a kilo of saturated fats is worse for you than soy protein and seasonings and some xanthan gum that have gone through a mincing machine
just remember that abattoir workers have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession and in many places it's illegal to broadcast what goes on inside slaughterhouses in public. wonder why people who pick flowers don't experience similar
yeah animals do all sorts of fucked up shit humans agree is bad but then often do anyway like kill or rape or whatever, but we applied that big brain of ours and came up with stuff like Philosophy and Hydroponics and Soya Burger and now we don't have to kill others to survive or rape to spread our genes or pretend that animals in pain are Literally The Same as cut grass
farmers feeding animals antibiotics isn't bad for just the consumer, it's bad for the entire human race
mfers speed running antibiotic resistance
