Vegans: .. uh.. now what?
Vegans consume fewer plants than anyone else. It takes a LOT of plants to raise a cow, pig, or chicken. From an economic point of view, meat is a way of refining mountains of cheap, plentiful, safe plant products into a scarce, harmful and addictive luxury product. This comes up a lot, you'd be amazed how many plants rights activists your average vegan runs into.
Unless you count grass and non-human consumables and non-potable water...sure...until then that's bullshit.
Are you saying grass aren't plants? Why would it matter if the plant is consumable by humans if vegans are trying to minimize suffering?
Because they're not about minimizing suffering, it's about being morally superior to meat eaters and letting everyone know about it. The post I replied to, literally made that a point.
It's astonishing that a person can compose such a blatant strawman, such a crude caricature, and believe it so fervently despite having just constructed the idea themselves. This is delusion. Genuine delusion. What is motivating your insanity? I would love to know.
