You've got beef with my punkass and it's because I don't eat beef.

You Might Be Surprised What Veganism Really Means

if your main reason for not using ai is because of the environmental aspect, then why don't you eat a plant based diet as well? boycotting ai barely compares to cutting out animal based products from your diet. yes, it uses a lot of water, but animal agriculture uses way more water and land, including land used to grow food that the animals eat.

shoutout to the poor vegans. the homeless vegans. the vegans in food deserts. the vegans of colour. the indigenous vegans. the disabled vegans. the chronically ill vegans. shoutout to every single one of you. people love bringing your circumstances up as a reason not to go vegan, and yet here you are, proving them wrong. making a difference. helping the animals. you're a amazing.

People hate me for my controversial opinions such as “don’t abuse animals for human gain” and “let’s lower our carbon emissions”

"Well I personally do not care that animals are killed for me to eat them"

Not to be too woke but the animal whose dismembered corpse is on the table may indeed care about being killed for us to eat them. Not to be too much of a controversial tofu-eating wokeratti but it may be good to look at circumstances of brutalization and killing from the perspective of the victim. Perchance.

I find it very sad that so many kids, when they start expressing compassion for animals and reason that eating their meat/products from their bodies is wrong, are taught by caregivers that kindness is wrong when it inconveniences others and caring so much for other living beings is childish and naive, because trying your best to do less harm will make others feel bad about their actions, and I can't help but feel that's where it starts for a lot of people who then grow up to believe that their pleasure, convenience, comfort and conformity is worth it even if others have to suffer for it.

I try to convince folks that are thinking about getting into deliberately good choices (reducing waste, veganism/vegetarianism, buying less, taking public transit, etc. etc.) that it's okay if they don't do it perfectly. I'm not looking for ideological purity, I'm looking for power. For results. If all my friends reduced their meat consumption by half, that's (on average) the same impact as if half of them stopped eating meat completely and the other half did nothing. Only, in the former hypothetical, _all_ of my friends made an effort to change their behavior, whereas in the latter, half of them didn't make any change at all.

The super-online Left in particular can be weird about wanting people to have never screwed up, or to walk a perfect line. But I'd rather a world that accepted people who did an okayish job. It's just such an easy choice over people who haven't done anything at all.

Well I suppose if you compare a vegan who only eats deep fried almonds in palm oil drenched in agave who buys new pleather jackets all the time and imports that from the other side of the planet with a carnist who only eats local poultry from a family farm and sews their own clothes then the vegan could be worse for the environment. I just don’t think that’s the actual dichotomy

"I could be vegetarian but not vegan!"

Then go vegetarian!!!

"I couldn't go vegan, I love cheese too much"

Then go vegan except for cheese!!

"I'd go vegan but I just can't live without (non-vegan brand of cookies)"

Then go vegan except for that non vegan brand of cookies!!!!!

Ultimately everyone should have veganism as their end goal, but you NEED to start somewhere! You cannot achieve any goal if you just do nothing!
