Jesus himself never direcly mentioned slavery afaik, however, the old testament explicitly condones it and provides instruction on how to get slaves (including ones who count as your property for life) in the law, and jesus did say he didn’t come to abolish the law, so…

Jesus was fine with slavery 😬 most of the good stuff he’s said has been said in better ways and before him

No that’s just not true at all. Before I was vegan my favorite food hands down was meat - ribs, steak, ham, brisket, chicken, burgers, etc. I loved it, not to the degree of luffy from one piece (🤓) but my favorite by far. That said, once I realized pleasure is never a good reason to kill someone, I stopped eating animals, and when I learned how fucked other animal ag (dairy, eggs, etc) is I went completely vegan.

Now when I walk by places cooking dead animals it smells good and then I think about the massive injustice behind it, and there’s just no way I could go back to supporting that no matter how good it tastes. I love stuff like Juicy Marbles, Beyond, and Meati Mushroom steaks tho, cause they’re the best replacements I’ve found.

Even though animal flesh is one of my favorite flavors I’ve ever tasted I’m still baffled that people continue to eat it when the reality is it’s killing and hurting animals for pleasure, which is insane and not ok at all.

Also tempeh is pretty good! Also soy, but it has a nice flavor, and is great on sandwiches!

Live and let live (including those whose flesh you like the taste of)

Most people “making a funny” about vegans are at the same level of humor as conservatives joking about lgbt+ folks. There’re like 5 “jokes” that get parroted which weren’t even funny in the first place. If you’re gonna joke about it at least be actually funny

Except non-vegans

That’s why I support the https://www.agriculturefairnessalliance.org/

Except dairy farmers

Lab grown meat is gonna be even more expensive, and 70% is way more than enough there that it’s no excuse to support animal abuse

People who eat animal products support it tho

Yeah same can be said of the military industrial complex. Welcome to lemmy, most people here hate the government

Sometimes I shit in the woods 🖐️ not cause bears do it, just cause there’s no toilets out there and it is kinda nice tbh

I would never buy animal products tho, that shit is fucked up 😬

Beyond burgers are literally right there lmao. You don’t need lab grown meat to stop supporting animal abuse, it’s a thinly veiled excuse to avoid having to change and grow as a person

vegans are insufferable to animal abusers the way environmentalists are insufferable to climate change deniers

Yeah only idiots have compassion for their fellow sentient beings. On the iq test they actually have a question “Are you vegan?” and if you answer yes then they automatically give you an iq of 12 (to represent the b12 deficiency you have).

Smart people know animal abuse is rad and cool, that’s why they only eat meat and watch dog fights on the weekend. We’re just not smart enough to understand why it’s ok like they do

I think I found it on reddit linking to a post 😂 it’s going fine, most of my relationships tend to be friends with benefits or monogamous tho. Usually people are fine with/interested in the ideas of it, but still want monogamy, and if I like them enough then I just roll with it cause it’s not like I have time for many relationships anyways

It would’ve fit better on vegancirclejerk, here it’s not the norm to be circlejerking and there tend to be a good amount of carnists that bash on stuff without knowing what they’re talking about. I assumed you were joking based on saying 700 grams of tofu is when you got problems, cause that’s a lot, but it was subtle and I could see it being missed

Come on I eat at least a kilo of tofu per meal it’s not that hard

It pairs great with a kilo of cocaine. I call it the 2-kilo meal-o

I get that a lot too. I’m not gonna pat you on the back for it any more than I’ll pat someone on the back for barely ever watching dog fights
