I'm not a vegan - but we are omnivores, we can eat plants. There is nothing unnatural about it. Let alone if you compare it to our modern 'normal' food, which is chock full of extra sugar, extra fat, extra protein, extra artificial additives like preservatives, sweeteners, and what not. It's also factual that you can get more energy out of directly consuming plant material than eating an animal that consumed said plant material. If you take the biggest offenders for that, cows. You need 8 kg of feed for them to produce a kg of meat, this is known as it's feed conversion ratio (source). Other animals (Like chicken and fish) are better, but a ration below 1 is essentially impossible.
I like the taste of meat as much as the next (average) person, but vegans do have a factual basis for their stance. But non-vegans rebuttal to that is realistically just "I don't want to give up meat because I like it" not "the facts aren't on your side." - Lets be honest about that.
Yup, precisely, there is nothing unnatural about omnivores eating plants and meat. It is an attempt to restrict part of this normal for omnivores diet which is unnatural and this is what religions do. Thus my point.
You can eat shit if you want, it won't kill you. There's tribes in Greenland that eat bird poop as a delicacy. So it must be natural! Or how about snails, grasshoppers, worms, crickets? All edible, even good. All things an omnivore can and do consume at time. You should stop being so unnatural and cutting all of these things out of your diet.
Oh, you won't? Guess that makes you a religious believer now. C'mon man, you must be trying to be dense on purpose.
Are you really that dense?
Shame you're not willing to see the unreasonableness in yourself. Now you have to go to the shop to buy some crickets to avoid being seen as a hypocrite.
More religious zealot talk, carry on, it is highly amusing 🤣
Pointing out hypocrisy using logical arguments is religious zealot talk?
I thought appealing to "common sense" or "nature" is what religious zealot do more often.
I appreciate the back up, but with the rare sighting of an organism that is able to consume downvotes and irrationality for a living, I don't think it's worth your (or anyone's) time trying to convince them to change to an 'unnatural' diet ^^
I'm sure they won't change, I'm still interested in this strange creature that seems to form positions based on gut feeling.
Maybe I'll find out they were beaten by an evil vegan step-uncle for most their life or something, never know!
No, sweetheart. Calling eating meat a "murder" and claiming veganism has nothing to do with religious zealousy in one breath is a rare example of either shouting hypocrisy or sheer stupidity. 🤣
Sort of like the sheer stupidity of grouping veganism with another group you already despise, which is apparently religious people.
Throw as much shit as you want, you've done nothing to prove your position, unless you are trying to prove that some people are dumb enough to think vegans are inconsistent.
Or perhaps some vegans are too dumb to understand how their beliefs are similar to religions and how zealous they are 😂
Not a single person here tried to convert you or change your eating habits.
You got extremely triggered at the word vegan, to the point I'm honestly trying to figure what experience you had with veganism that caused this. Were you forced to be a vegetarian as a kid or something?
Or its just shit posting, which I don't mind.
Can you read, sweetheart?
What would you like me to read sugar?
The same comments you are replying to. Slowly.
Want me to go slower for you?
I'm glad you found a natural computer to post with from inside your natural house. Seeing your dogshit opinions is funny.
Appeals to nature are not compelling because all of human progress and civilisation is built upon using technology to surpass nature. Just about everything we interact with in modern society isn't natural, why would we think that your idea of humans natural diet would be the ideal?
Veganism is an ethical stance, not religious. There are plenty of ethical stance that place restrictions on human behaviour that I'm sure you are totally on with, like when society tells you not to steal from or murder people. Are you prepared to argue against ethics as a whole?
Are you a little bit slow? Genuine question.
