Vegans are so annoying

Isnt this kind of an insult to the animals that were exploited for this product?

i get where you're coming from here. when i go out to eat, i request my food be cooked w/o butter. in the event that the kitchen staff ignored my request, or just made a mistake and cook with butter, i eat it anyway because the cow already suffered so i might as well make that suffering have a purpose instead of going into the trash.

my exception to this is if i order a meat alternative and get served meat. i wont eat it. sorry, cow, but at this point eating meat would make me physically ill.

i saw a Giant Anteater at the Dallas Aquarium a number of years ago and it was like, really big. probably like six feet long or something? the poor thing was constantly pacing around in its teeny tiny 20' square enclosure, i felt so bad for it.

yeah it does.

those things are much bigger IRL than i expected.

i agree there hasn't been much innovation, technically speaking, this generation. aside from going to 4k (whoopdie do), there hasn't been much progress.

how brazen do cops need to be to blatantly lie when there is video footage that contradicts them?

it's like that bit from Eddy Murphy's "Raw" where a cheating husband is caught leaving his mistress' house by his wife and when confronted just goes "wasn't me"

get your booster, people

Even without our involvement, they're food regardless. They will suffer regardless.

ok. but that doesn't justify our contributing to it.

Crescente posted...

At least with our methods, they're effectively living better lives. Also, I don't believe their lives are better out in the wild.

you're terribly misinformed. watch Dominion and get back to me about "they just live out their lives without a care in the world". i've said this repeatedly, and you continue to ignore it, which gives me the impression that you're being intentionally obtuse.

Here's a question: What would be a better life for these animals? In captivity where they are safe and always fed with some uncomfortable housing....or out in the wild where they have to fend for themselves and in most cases, if they run into prey they will die a horrible and gruesome death? Your morals and ethics are pointless in this world.

they are not "safe" by any means. their entire existence is dominated by pain and suffering. i would much rather the animals live free in nature than be trapped in captivity where they suffer for our pleasure. it would be better if they weren't bred at all, than to live the way they do.

im starting to think you're not posting in good faith.

Crescente posted...

There are literal animals out in the wild living better lives than some humans lol. They don't give a damn about how they make their kills. They eat and devour their prey, in much more gruesome ways than we can ever do to animals in farms. I've seen videos where lions rip out the guts of their prey and eat them alive. The animal just sits there with its guts hanging out.

What we do in comparison is a luxury spa for these animals.

i dont understand the point of this post? are you trying to argue that because nature is brutal, we shouldn't extend our empathy to animals?

and using animals or nature as a basis of our own morality is a poor metric. animals kill and rape each other regularly, they don't have morals. we do.

i don't think you're aware of exactly how much pain and suffering factory farmed animals endure. it's not just moments before death that they suffer, it's basically a constant throughout their entire existences. millions upon millions of living creatures suffer every single day because we want to please our taste buds.

I considered a vegan diet then I thought about all the land clearing and deforestation it'd take to grow those vegetables for everyone in the world to consume.

So I decided to do my part in saving the planet by eating caged animals, smaller foot print on the environment.

im not sure if you're trolling, or just woefully misinformed. but the animals that we farm to turn into meat need to eat stuff, too. we use water, land and other resources to produce food which is exclusively fed to farm animals.

jorgeammo posted...

Fuck no. I feel better with meat in my diet.

Half the so called vegans I know live on junk food like potato chips and Oreos.

eating lots of junk food is hardly exclusive to vegans, you know. and you're correct, vegan does not automatically mean healthy.

i'm vegan and i cook almost all of my own food. my weekly grocery bill is like $60.

like, where in the world did you guys get this notion that vegan is "expensive"? hands down the most expensive stuff at the grocery store is meat.

if you owned a farm with lots of animals you loved and treated well would you be willing to eat their eggs and make cheese from their milk knowing that you never mistreated any of the animals?

people bring up "backyard eggs" often. im still not a huge fan because those chickens have been bread to produce maximum eggs and its difficult on their bodies. they also lay more eggs than they would 'naturally', which is taxing on their bodies. but of all the possible ways to get eggs, that is the least harmful.

https://theminimalistvegan.com/backyard-eggs/
https://www.surgeactivism.org/backyardeggs

as for dairy, there's still the forced insemination of the cow (ie rape) and the calf being forcibly taken from the mother, neither of which sit right with me. cows only produce milk if they've recently given birth, so the normal procedure at dairy farms is to rape the cow, then steal her baby away from her moments after birth. this causes undue suffering to both the cow and the calf. Dominion covers this.

Crescente posted...

You can always eat eggs that are from free-range chickens.

"free range" doesn't mean a whole lot. the animals still experience substantial pain and suffering. plus the slaughter of male chicks

https://www.greenerchoices.org/free-range/

any time you have animal products produced on a massive scale where profit is the primary motivation, the animals are going to suffer.

Crescente posted...

Also what about honey?

i, personally, have no ethical qualms with honey, but i know a lot of vegans do. its something i need to read up on more. at this time i dont buy honey, but i wont boycott food that has it.

I'm not sure how that's supposed to sway the DOJ in any way whatsoever

my guess is that it's a threat directed at the Republican Party with the intent of them taking action. if he "makes" his cult stop voting, it's gonna tank the GOP.

Why do vegans insist on being pushy like street preachers? No one likes a nag. I'm willing to respect your dietary choices, but please respect my choice to remain omnivorous.

the ones that act like this do so because, from their perspective, they are speaking out about a grave injustice.

i dislike the "pushy" approach because it just turns people away. embrace people with compassion and understanding if you want them to listen to you.

Crescente posted...

Eggs and cheese are the best things in life. I can never say no to those. Also...the reason why vegans don't eat eggs is just...lame as heck lol.

the same reason i don't eat dairy -- the animals that produce that food are subjected to pain and suffering for basically their entire lives.

in the case of chickens, male chicks are slaughtered by the millions simply for being born the wrong gender. see:

Whats the reason for no honey?

im not entirely sure, there seems to be some debate within the vegan community about this one. its not something i feel strongly about at this time. i dont buy honey, but if its in a meal, i wont refuse it.

Kloe_Rinz posted...

Vegan food tastes bad so I dont think I could do it

no it doesn't. you just need to branch out a bit. not all vegan food is tofu and salad.

FaultyCircuitry posted...

Shit like this is so pathetic. Just screams "those vegans make me insecure."

it sure does

AloneIBreak posted...

Tofu, at least the packages, seems pricey? Maybe Im misremembering. Do you have buy the beans dry and soak them or whatever? I was thinking I could make black bean burgers en masse because I love beans and nearly all veggie burgers Ive had. Mushrooms too.

at my local grocery (Meijer), a 16oz package of tofu is $2.49. super cheap. i usually buy canned beans and thoroughly rinse them. dried beans are cheaper, though.

AloneIBreak posted...

The plant based attempts at being meat taste fine but dont really seem that healthy, nor are they cheap so I never bother with those. Gardein makes a really good veggie burger.

the stuff like Beyond / Impossible aren't great for you -- so processed. Dr Praeger's makes good stuff, but they're like $5 for two servings. not expensive but not cheap either.

Ill check out those websites (probably not Reddit yet because I can only imagine how annoying that sub is), but I feel like Im going to need a support group with the time comes lol.

feel free to reach out if you have questions or anything!

FaultyCircuitry posted...

No, I'm saying that animal suffering is a drop in the pool compared to the need to advocate for the working class.

like PlantBased said, these are not mutually exclusive by any means. i fight for both.

FaultyCircuitry posted...

You're not contributing to a decreased demand for the products in any meaningful way

you sound like one of those people who say "oh your one vote doesnt matter".

so causing less suffering is pointless unless you can eliminate all suffering. is that what you're saying?

FaultyCircuitry posted...

There is no ethical consumption in a system that abuses it's workers.

the world is not black and white.

surely you recognize the difference between buying a product that was produced from slave labor vs a product that was produced by a poorly paid worker? do you think those have the same ethical implications?
