People go after vegans because they are one of the last groups that people can relentlessly mock without facing any pushback Most vegans really dont care what anyone else eats but as soon as a lot of people find out that someone is vegan they act like they are under attack or start going on and on about how they could never do that as if a vegan expects everyone they meet to just start being vegan too --- If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood ...

I don't understand veganism. I do understand vegetarianism, but whatever your diet, you're essentially drawing a line between what you will and won't eat. Vegetarianism seems to generally be concerned with causing less suffering, because, realistically, a cow suffers a lot more than a head of lettuce, and is generally worse for the environment. I get that.
Veganism seems more about earning brownie points than anything else, though. It lumps all animals, and animal byproducts, into the same category, which is absurd. Just like someone can't reasonably claim that a head of lettuce is just as murder-y as a steak, it's equally absurd to claim that "enslaving bees and stealing their honey" is just as bad as the beef industry. --- Who's your favorite character from "Bend It Like Beckham"?

I know this is a bad joke topic Wait, what's your point exactly? Ohhh, I only compared them because both get scrambled. I wasn't saying chicken eggs are like human fetuses. I didn't even make that connection at all when I made this topic, lol. My bad. Let me clarify. The OP was about how someone can justify destroying a fetus, while believing something as insignificant as a chicken egg shouldn't be eaten. My understanding of veganism is that it's a diet based on a moral viewpoint of causing as little death and suffering as possible. Tearing apart a fetus seems to run contrary to that. --- MY HELMET'S ON YOU CAN'T TELL ME I'M NOT IN SPACE ... Copied to Clipboard!

realistically, a cow suffers a lot more than a head of lettuce, I've never really accepted that logic. Plants have chemical responses to being damaged, which is all that "feeling pain" really is, so acting like the vertebrate model for pain is the only valid one doesn't make much sense to me. Raising a cow, however, does involve feeding them a whole bunch of plants, so it's not like killing a cow means you get to not kill plants, and meat does involve more total suffering. I'm just not going to say that one form of that suffering means more than the other. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tearing apart a fetus seems to run contrary to that. That's a bit of a leap. Most people wouldn't blame someone for aborting a fetus that would kill them. The same for a vegan who eats meat to prevent starving to death. The majority of people in the USA (and this board) support ALL abortions and some of those people are vegans. I'm just curious about their thought processes. --- MY HELMET'S ON YOU CAN'T TELL ME I'M NOT IN SPACE ... Copied to Clipboard!

While I'm sure some vegans are honest about their choice and really DO want to not eat anything plant related or whatever... most I've seen are just smug, moralizing, virtue signalers who don't even follow their own rules. Get mad at me for eating some eggs? 'You're murdering baby chickens!' Even though the vast, vast, majority of cooking eggs are unfertilized and will never develop, let alone hatch. But their choice to eat some ice cream or basically any animal thing? 'Ice cream isn't an animal byproduct silly'.
I've met vegetarians who are at least honest, non-patronizing, and so-forth about their choice to not eat animal products. Some of them are not pushy (besides not remembering that everyone at the house is vegetarian and would like something OTHER than spinach pizza!) or anything. Though a lot more are also people who are vegetarian because it's 'fashionable' and what-not. I.E. aren't actually vegetarian but claim they are to seem smug and superior and usually found out the moment that they try to insist that they have 'vegetarian chicken' or something similar. Anyways. I'd imagine that they split the question of the morality of abortion apart from the question of if it's okay to use animal products in their mind and approach them in different ways. Plus, let's be honest, I'm pretty sure a lot of people hold beliefs and ideals that seem to make sense to us but make no sense to outside observers. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your ***! - White Mage ...

But their choice to eat some ice cream or basically any animal thing? 'Ice cream isn't an animal byproduct silly'. One, egg industry kills so many chickens. When they let eggs hatch to make new layer hens, only about 50% of those eggs hatch female. Every one of those male chicks is killed. Eating eggs does require animal death Two, vegans don't eat dairy or any other animal products, this is a poor straw man.

Unbridled9 posted...But their choice to eat some ice cream or basically any animal thing? 'Ice cream isn't an animal byproduct silly'. Yea. It does. Lots of times. People will claim that they're disabled, have a special lifestyle, or whatever to try and get free goods, sympathy, or moral brownie points without actually adhering to it. Like someone claiming that they're only eating kosher food so our asking if they'd like the bacon burger is offensive... before ordering oysters. There's plenty of stories on notalwaysright of similar things happening. To me, personally, I've had people who claim to be vegan asking if Sour Cream and cheese are acceptable and a vegetarian who firmly believed that bologna 'isn't real meat' and is, thusly, okay to eat. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your ***! - White Mage ...

Well, if you are a vegan who supports abortion, then I imagine your thought process is that egg farming is inhumane because it causes pain to the chicken. You would probably also believe that fetuses are not sentient and do not feel pain.
Do you see how their reasoning is now? I bet that most pro-choice vegans refuse to eat eggs not because they do not want to destroy potential life, but rather because they do not like the farming practices used to acquire eggs. Sure, you might ask "What about free-range eggs, or foraging for wild eggs?" but that goes beyond what is being discussed in this thread. --- I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this who will count the votes, and how. ...

No. It's a testament to how some people claim the lifestyle to sound high-and-mighty or because it's fashionable or whatever else without bothering to actually adhere to it. It doesn't take a genius to realize cheese and cream is an animal byproduct or that bologna isn't acceptable for a vegetarian lifestyle. The people just want to claim it to sound smug and superior. If you're actually vegetarian/vegan, bother to adhere, and aren't doing it to be a smug asshole, then I might actually respect your choice a bit. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your ***! - White Mage ...

Supply and demand. Your additional demand for the non-factory farmed eggs will raise their price, potentially forcing someone else out who will then buy cheaper factory farmed eggs. It's a small and indirect impact but if you have environmental concerns, that's the case with almost everything and it adds up. The price isn't higher because of demand. It's higher because the process is more expensive. People who would already buy something because of the environment isn't going to buy factory farmed eggs. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms ...
