Vegans supply their lack of animal protein with human attention.
Idk most vegans I know try not to talk about it and sometimes even hides it due to stigma.
It's the meat heads obsessed with the topic. The only reason most vegans would mention their food preference is because food is part of most peoples life's 3 times a day. But when discovered the questioning is relentless.
And people always forget. "Why do vegans go on and on about it?" Because we want to be able to eat? For my stag do, my brother forgot THREE times to get me vegan products. THREE. And then complained because I "mention it too much"...I just wanna eat!
How do you know someone’s not vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.
I respect animals but I want to keep eating meat, so I tried looking for, you know, more ethical farms.
The best I could find is a chicken that lives a year before it's slaughtered (compared to 60 days or less for factory farming), roams and isn't caged.
It costs 8-12 times more than the cruelty chicken.
God damn.
Have you tried impossible type meats or even lab grown meat? I’m not sure how easily you can get the lab grown stuff or if it’s inexpensive enough for decent folks.
My previous comment should suggest that I look for healthy, natural products.
Impossible burgers is Ultra Processed Foods. Famously even South Park made an episode about it.
Lab grown meat will be the same (because it has to be cheaper than meat to be produced on scale, and because even if it starts healthy it's quality will inevitably go down to make as cheap to produce as possible)
“I respect animals” is what I was going by. Decent folks would just buy non meat.
There's a vast difference between respecting animals and not eating animals, but that would be pointless discussion.
Also I don't appreciate you trying to offend me by calling me indecent.
Interesting that people on either side are being accused of being obsessed when it's the literal subject of the post we're discussing under
In any post about veganism, you'll get two types of idealist. People who make this unilateral sacrifice to help the world, and people who get defensive about not making yet another unilateral sacrifice. And they both have a lot to say.
if it wasn't for that vegan teacher and other in the loud minority...
