Vegans that think like this aren't right, you can not eat meat if you want, but eating meat is a natural thing. We humans, especially in America, eat entirely too much meat, but we are omnivores. You don't need meat to survive but it's easier to do so when you eat meat, and as it stands, cheaper! The real issue is the cruelty and unsanitary conditions that are rampant across the factory farm/meat industry. There is too little regulation, and too few companies controlling the market. An equally good form of protest is to just get your meat sourced locally. It can be an even better form of protest depending on what you would eat as a vegan, because there are several crops that are commonly eaten by vegans that have slave labor and water depletion involved i.e. almonds and quinoa.

Edit: wording

What qualifies a behaviour as natural?

[–] blind3rdeye@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It doesn't require magic, or intervention from otherworldly spirits, etc.

The word explains itself. If it occurs in nature it is natural.

the opposite of natural is supernatural.

Right, things that don't occur in nature
