If we're gonna make it as a species we might have to do things that suck every now and then

Yeah maybe. Being vegan isn't one of those things tho.

Make sure you don't eat most nuts because they use more water than chicken.

Y'all don't have to get so defensive, it's just something that makes a lot of sense

lmfao this is good shit

*popcorn chicken*

I'm not being defensive, I'm stating the facts. Vegans don't get a say in everything because all of the times they do, they're pretty wrong.

Well... you do that.

Me, I believe, I will gorge myself with nice and juicy steak/s again later on tonight :). Pleasures...

Are you vegetarian already or just cutting meat cold turkey?

In any case good luck buddy, feel free to PM me if you need any help or have questions

Not vegetarian, but I might ease into the diet change

It is good to go vegan, you'll be both healthier and decreasing your footprint. I swear vegans get shit on more then any other life style, and for what? Not wanting to eat or harm animals? people have no empathy.

Yeah definitely do whatever works for you, I was semi-vegetarian for a while when I started out

I don't think that's necessarily true, at least in execution. Vegetarians are the ones who tend to live the longest compared to meat eaters and vegans

Vegans think that humans shouldn't eat meat
They also think that carnivorous animals can go herbivore
All around pretentiousness

Yes that is part of the definition...?

No I don't think this?

Part of the definition? And they don't have any standing ground.

And that means all or the majority of vegans think the same way?

Yes.

DaemMkIV7 posted...

Part of the definition?

"Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals." Obviously this is a philosophy which rejects humans eating meat.

That person's a fucking negligent dumbass, cats need meat to survive. You want me to start pulling up articles about people doing shitty things in the name of ideologies you support?

Vegans twist that ideology to also nazi and dictate everyone's food choices and lifestyle. 100% of them has that mindset.

My ideology of eating both meat and veggies? Sure, why not.

You know it's true.

There are douchebag vegetarians/vegans. There are also douchebag meat eaters.

TC sounds cool, though.

I'm not going to stop you from being vegan, but remember, you won't make much of a difference in what you proclaim as "animal cruelty" and most importantly, never perpetuate vegan stereotypes if you want to be taken seriously.

Be good.

You becoming vegan will not achieve either of those things in an meaningful way.

Also veganism is incredibly unhealthy and has no health benefits, it's actually debilitating to the human body.

Becoming a vegetarian actually has health benefits however.

I personally will never stop eating meat.

Of course not, but a large number of people becoming vegan will. This is the same as anything else in this world of 7 billion people.

Trying to act as if you're morally superior than others because you're vegan doesn't make you so. You're not making a difference being a vegan, humans are still omnivores by nature. Omnivore animals will still continue to eat meat because they want to.

How is he doing that?
---

I love how whenever the vegan's claims are challenged or contradicted, they throw a hissy fit. It makes for some real entertainment and should make them question their careless decisions.

I've also learned that a majority of vegan topics don't sound very genuine, and only serve as bait.

Are you high or something?

If you have the willpower, TC, go for it. I think that people saying that one person being vegan doesn't make a difference are missing the point. It's about living in agreement with your own values, and having a fulfilling sense of self.

If I believe that factory farms are bad for both animal welfare and the environment, making choices that don't take that into account would make me a shitty person.

I don't have the willpower to go vegan, but I do try to make better choices and I eat meat much less frequently than I used to.
