I love my partners and my son, but I hate most other humans.
What a brain dead take. Lots of vegans love and miss meat - that’s why fake meat is so popular. We don’t stop eating meat because we hate it. We do so for moral reasons.
I love dogs and cats but the taste is off. Pass.
Clearly you’ve never had a taste of Elwood’s.
what part about pass did you not understand?
you vegans and your dog meat jeeze
Would it be inconsistent for a vegan to claim they love houseplants?
No, because eating meat kills more plants than eating plants does. The farm animals get fed from plants, and not all of that energy ends up as calories in meat, meaning you need to kill more plants to get the same amount of calories.
Didn’t realise that… Thanks!
To expand upon what Ephera said, chicken typically yields about 12 calories of output for every 100 calories used as input. Beef is abysmally low at 3 calories out per 100 calories in. If someone genuinely believes that plants feel pain (which they categorically don’t) and wants to cause the least possible, the first thing they would want to cut out is meat. That’s just thermodynamics at work.
The killing of (unwanted) plants to feed livestock can happen away from factory farms too - but on the plus side it leaves us with lush green fields of soft short grasses as the herd wanders and grazes. It’s worth remembering that industrial farming - regardless of your dietary position - blights almost everything it comes in contact with.
I don’t have that contradiction personally. I love animals but only when they’re alive so I only eat the dead ones.
