      Sure, it may be morally abhorrent, unhealthy and environmentally destructive, but I get a few minutes of pleasure off of it!

      They don’t set those concerns aside; they do mental gymnastics.

      You’re giving those animals a life and a good death! All things die. Ackchually plants signal an alert too. They don’t suffer or love like we do. God said it’s OK. I buy fair trade lamb. Not until capitalism is over. It’s our culture.

          Are you adding to the meme excuses or genuinely think this is a good excuse? Because I have two answers depending on your intention.

          Option 1: good one.

          Option 2: Do you live in the Arctic or somewhere where plants don’t grow? No vegan who’s serious about this has ever starved. There are entire cultures and religions that are plant based and their choice of food has never starved them.

            No, I’m dirt poor, tried to sneak in a vegan diet for other reasons, it backfired in my face horribly.

            I am just that selfish, that I would rather eat an animal to have enough strength than starve.

            Hate all you want.

              I don’t think it’s black and white so I’m not hating, but the cultures I mentioned are already some of the poorest in the world so the cost shouldn’t be a factor. It definitely requires huge adjustments in thinking and approach to food. I know it took me something like three years to be fully comfortable with eating 99% plant based. Like I said, if you’re serious about it, I think you can do it.
