    moral issues with meat consumption

    Why do you assume omnivores have any “moral issues with meat”? Your comment implies that vegan diet is somehow morally supreme, which is an utter rubbish. It is a dietary choice, the same as eating bread or not.

        I love this description of morality, but am curious about your opinion on the arbitrary decisions comment: do you feel that cultural tuning (often underpinned by cultural heritage and available food options) is an invalid way to select “acceptable” meats? No judgement, your comment just got me thinking

        everyone makes such distinctions. including vegans. they don’t care that animals are displaced by agriculture, killed in the protection of crops, or their harvesting.

            people can’t eat grass or silage. but that’s entirely besides the point. vegans don’t avoid plants that were protected from pests and scavengers. they decide to treat some animals differently for just as arbitrary reasons.

                >You’re acting like the options are (a) cause as much suffering as you like

                no. I’m saying that everyone makes decisions about which animals get treated which ways. eating a burger doesn’t cause any harm, anyway.

                    Letting animals be tortured and slaughtered en masse just to satisfy your trivial gustatory preferences

                    And there you go:

                    “Holier-than-thou vegans with pamphlet level arguments they force upon everybody are a problem.”

                    People don’t share your dietary choices. Deal with it.

        And, there you go, as per the original comment above: “Holier-than-thou vegans with pamphlet level arguments they force upon everybody are a problem.”

        🙄

        You are only “more moral” on the same level as Jehova Witnesses are somehow “more moral” than other religions.
