The memes of the climate

Lmao why I’m responsible for your actions? I don’t financially support animal exploitation and murder. You need to stop eating animals and get with the times. That is a lame excuse and you know it.

If you want to learn more of where vegans are coming from then watch Dominion 2018:

Why not vegetarian first? Because dairy is seriously messed up.

Cows have an average lifespan of around twenty years off the top of my head. Cows are mammals, and produce milk to feed their young. To keep them producing milk, you have to keep them perpetually pregnant. This is done via artificial insemination the overwhelming majority of the time, where a farmer puts her in a rape rack, sticks their hand up her ass far enough to grab her cervix and align everything, then jams a syringe full of bull semen into her vagina.

A side effect of pregnancy is children. Her calves are stolen from her after she gives birth, and murdered to be sold for veal. This cycle is repeated continually for four or five years until she becomes physically incapable of functioning from the repeated pregnancies. Then she's slaughtered for her flesh too.

Dairy is the meat industry, just with additional abuses. Vegetarians are continuing to support the abuse of animals. It makes much more sense to just go vegan from an ethical standpoint.

A whole foods plant based is 30% cheaper and will save thousands of dollars in healthcare related costs.

I’m low income can manage just fine as a vegan. The only extra time needed is to learn the new recipes.

Abstract

“It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements.”

According to that logic vegans are seen as enemies to everyone who is ignorant, cruel and lazy.

The more education someone has the more likely they’re to be vegan.

Vegans should stop trying to guilt others into veganism and start lobbying to end meat subsidies (or reapply them to vegan food).

The reason people hate vegans is because many of them do it for personal moral superiority, not to actually help anything.

We've already come a long way on price, thankfully. When I go to local supermarkets or discounters (Lidl, Kaufland, Aldi, Penny,...), the store brand meat alternatives are already as cheap as their factory farmed products. Same for the milk alternatives, soy yoghurts, and so on. So price parity has already been reached in many cases, at least here in Germany.

I guess now the issue is that many of the discounter alternatives don't taste the same as meat yet (although they're getting better), and the premium plant-based products taste great, but are still more expensive than the cheapest meat products.

That's a good point actually. If meat and animal products weren't ridiculously subsidized and the price at the cashier reflected the true cost then there would be an overnight surge in veganism. Nobody would have the political will to completely tank massive well lobbied industries though, regardless of any long term benefit.

Buddy vegans are always calling out animal subsidies. Like I have been with Canada wasting 2 billion dollars on it. You need to pay more attention about the vegans you claim to know so much about.

Because it is the animals are sentient, they have feelings.
