There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

"Buying meat is unethical because of how the animals are treated" ~ sent from my iPhone made by child slave labor

I'm not saying veganism is bad. What I am saying is that people who think veganism is a moral high ground are wrong. I also think that veganism is a luxury to be even able to follow.

Edit after downvotes into the negative and shitty asshole responses:
Here comes the self-righteous assholes who don't want to have a discussion and instead throw around blame and shame at me. Congrats. Y'all are the reason people hate vegans which hurts your cause by pushing people away from reducing reliance on meat. Every downvote is proof that self-righteous vegans are assholes.

The devil is in the details, but in most cases it's eating animal products that's the luxury.
