hey vegans, cool fact, plant based diets are vastly more efficient and effective at feeding people than meat based diets.

Meat consumes plants to exist, most of that energy is lost. Not so much with plants.

Just start telling people this shit lmao. Who cares about morality when you can pretend to be saving the environment instead.

That's not how knowledge works.

Let's go to the extremes here: let's say I'm a vegan, and love snakes and want my snake to not eat live mouse, do you think I can feed the snake vegan snake food?

This is all hypothetical as I dislike snakes and love bacon.

There's no way this won't restart the same argument with someone, huh? Top-tier shitpost, well done.

There's a type of person that thinks Joe Rogan is clever because they agree with him.

Let's assume for a moment that somehow your salad was conscious. That's an even bigger reason not to eat an animal that has to be fed on plants for a long time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

unless the point is that consciousness is not a disqualifying trait to become foid

It wasn't for the donner party.

Or maybe its just a fundamental fact of life that something has to die in order for you to live and virtue signaling about the degree to which you participate in that death is a pointless exercise.

Ah yes, the old "I accidentally stepped on a fly, might as well exterminate the whole biosphere" defense

"our new cancer drug is 99% effective!"

"So it doesn't work in 1% of cases? Then what's the point, throw it away, we just have to accept that cancer is going to happen"

These arguments are exactly why people hate vegans. It's nonsense.

Not only do you jump to an insane straw man. You showcase that you ignore a clear increasing contradiction around your world view and choose reactionary nothing.

If you care about life realize the harder question. If you care about the environment realize clear inefficiencues. Currently, you showcase nothing more than crude thoughtlessness.

We as humans are blessed with the ability to choose how we interact with these "facts of life".

Or maybe there's happy middle where everyone can live comfortably while keeping the harm we cause at a minimum.

Or, at the most selfish, we could make sure we don't kill ourselves this decade or the next.
