Everybody needs to eat stuff. And if it is about reducing pain and having a better climate impact, you should plants all the way. A cow eats 50 times the amount of plants that it gives back in meat.
The cow meat is already there, in the store. Individual choices do not affect the climate. It is disrespectful to not consume it.
demand and supply are a thing
But it tastes better
I’m afraid I’m going to need a better argument than “I support killing animals because it makes me feel good.”
That’s why I only eat fungi. It’ll be reciprocal eventually.
Fun fact, humans share more DNA with fungi than they do with plants. We share nearly 50% of our DNA with fungi.
Plus mushrooms are the sex organs of the mycelium organism. Just an extra fun fact for free there.
So, OP eats mushroom dick. Got it.
There are theories that hypothesize that mycelium came to earth via asteroids from space.
So it may be more apt to say that OP eats space dick instead.
It’s my understanding that fungi came around rather late in the game. Long after animals and plants both.
Let’s assume for a moment that somehow your salad was conscious. That’s an even bigger reason not to eat an animal that has to be fed on plants for a long time.
Or maybe its just a fundamental fact of life that something has to die in order for you to live and virtue signaling about the degree to which you participate in that death is a pointless exercise.
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.
This logic doesn’t make sense in any other context. Like, if I say we should try to reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere, you could point out that emitting CO2 is a fundamental part of human life, so something something virtue signaling blah blah blah. Just because something is unavoidable to a certain degree doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to minimize it.
Or maybe there’s happy middle where everyone can live comfortably while keeping the harm we cause at a minimum.
Or, at the most selfish, we could make sure we don’t kill ourselves this decade or the next.
I mean if you stretch the definition enough even cells know they are being eaten. they usually respond by “shit this cant be good, I better press this big red button”
Yeah, that’s absolutely what keeps happening with these news items. “Lifeform demonstrates reaction to stimulus!”
What will Staples do?
dont get the reference
“Plants rights activists” out in full force in this thread lol
Imo, the person in red looks much healthier.

There’s no way this won’t restart the same argument with someone, huh? Top-tier shitpost, well done.
Thanks, I saw it come across my FB feed and knew what had to be done.
Ew, Joe Rogan.
There was a Hungarian cult that convinced others that people can survive by eating light. There were some deaths and was quickly shut down, but they exist forever in anorexia-related jokes.
Joe Rogan 🤮
Yo fuck that propagandist piece of shit Joe Rogan. Keep him off of my feed.
I’m constantly dismayed to find that brain damaged ape, topping the podcast charts weekly. He’s such a disease
That’s not how knowledge works.
NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL SHITPOSTING VOL. 68
Everything that is, is alive.
Yeah, that’s what most people don’t understand… People should do some shrooms/LSD to get out of their head and back to their heart.
This would solve most if not all the cognitive dissonance we strugle with every day…
Man I was giggling about this a ton of times as it passed by due to the recent admin posting update about all that shit on the deranged vegan sub until just now I realized the comment was from Roge Jogan. Fuck that dumbass and everything he does.
