No one said veganism is a religion, but it IS a political standpoint and philosophical and moral practice.
Just read the first two paragraphs of wikipedia, it makes it clear.
Following a plant based diet is one thing, being a Vegan is different.
You are a carnist. That's a political standpoint and philosophical and moral practice as well. You might not consider youself a carnist, you think you're just normal because eating like a handfull of animals and drinking one animals mothers milk was normalised to you from birth. I was raised a carnist too. Yet it's a decision, not a necessity. We don't need meat and milk to survive, we choose to kill animals because we are accustumed to the taste. So we keep the system running.
you don't know what anyone else needs.
Oh no, it's you again. I remember talking to you, commie. :)
this is not a rebuttal. prima facie, it is an ad hominem.
almost no one does that at all
Is this your reply? Picking words instead of staying in the conversation? Alright:
We pay slaves to kill animals for us because we are accustomed to the taste. What now?
I've never done that. most people haven't.
I don't disagree with this
Yeah! Someone could be vegetarian for lots of sensible reasons, like religion or fad diets. But veganism is based on the idea that slavery is wrong, which makes it bad.
