Fun fact, human is the only meat that can be vegan! They just have to consent to it

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

it's still exploiting an animal. it's not vegan.

edit: this user seems to think theyn can poison the well so that readers will be misled about what words mean. I encourage you to actually learn.

It's not exploitation if they consent, that's the entire point of veganism

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

it is. consent has nothing to do with exploitation.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

This is nonsense. If I have a thing, and I give you that thing freely and of my own volition, you have not exploited me. If we're going to say that that's necessarily exploitation, then all transactions are exploitative, and nothing could be considered vegan except for growing your own vegetables in the wild. No, human-derived food can be vegan, as is the case with milk.

too many commas there.

My friend. If even PETA agrees that human milk is vegan, you can be damn sure that human milk is vegan.

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

peta is not the authority on the meaning of veganism

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

taking something to use it is the barest definition of exploitation.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Sure, it's the most braindead definition you can use, and it ignores the very concept of why vegans are vegan in the first place. Big "gender=sex is basic biology" energy here

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

the vegan society says "all forms of exploitation".
