And you chucklefucks say we vegans eat weird shit...
My seitan nuggets taste the same and I didn't have to kill anyone, or anything, and I don't have to worry about some poor child in a factory on the other side of the country removing bones so I don't have to deal with the horrors of factory farming.
A vegitable field is absent of any insects, birds, or rodents, they were all slaughtered, starved, or poisoned to bring you your vegi nuggets.
Fair point, agribusiness is harmful in many ways.
That doesn't mean that someone can't say "X is More harmful than Y"
I imagine they could point to the many similar environmental harms and modifications down for meat farming
Other than not eating the meat of an animal, i don't think vegan can claim superiority about all the other stuff. Someone have to plant and harvest and process and make your vegan nugget, you know...
And it’s no more or less likely to be a “child in the other side of the country”
(?)
I think it's more cause of all the news coverage about underage kids working in meat packing plants lately.
Idk if there is a similar problem in other parts of agriculture, wouldn't surprise me.
most people don't kill anything for nonvegan nuggets
I do. This is why I am banned from McDonalds worldwide.
Surprising, a vegan coming somewhere, unprompted, to decry their moral superiority. The only things as reliable are "get a real measurement system" and "oh, that's a problem? I use Linux."
