    Ah yes, the old “I accidentally stepped on a fly, might as well exterminate the whole biosphere” defense

      “our new cancer drug is 99% effective!”

      “So it doesn’t work in 1% of cases? Then what’s the point, throw it away, we just have to accept that cancer is going to happen”

      These arguments are exactly why people hate vegans. It’s nonsense.

      Not only do you jump to an insane straw man. You showcase that you ignore a clear increasing contradiction around your world view and choose reactionary nothing.

      If you care about life realize the harder question. If you care about the environment realize clear inefficiencues. Currently, you showcase nothing more than crude thoughtlessness.

        I’m not a vegan. Their argument was literally that morally there is no difference in the amount of death caused by any person for the purposes of consumption.
