Every once in a while I get that ominous feeling that killing and specially making animals suffer just for me to eat meat, fish and lactose is extremely wrong, but then I kinda forget.

I kinda see myself hunting wild game though so it’s weird.

Those animals eat the veggies, you’e doubling up on immigrant slavery, environmental impact, resources wasted, etc. One is demonstrably worse because it first requires the other.

Actually since you’re dedicated to this zero sum game of bullshit, if I ate nothing but pure beef all the time, I would be minimizing animal cruelty and suffering while still eating meat. Eating a diverse diet means that more animals have to suffer. Plus you haven’t even thought of the animals killed and displaced just for your palm oil, your house, your roads. But I guess it feels nice to feel self-righteous based on consumer choice.

No it doesn’t genius, you’re just eating several cows. Are you raising and butchering one cow yourself? Buying one wholesale that will last that many meals?

I also don’t use palm oil and neither should you.

Look in the mirror, you’re literally doing “yet you participate in society. Curious!”

Fragile fucking liberals.

Nah, you’re just engaging in finger wagging over a consumer choice. Going vegan is going to save marginally more animal lives than not.

See at least in my choice, I’d still get to eat meat and the cows are fed with thresher-harvested grain which would result in fewer animal deaths overall, and eating a cow (in my case, buying one wholesale that would last me for awhile) would kill less animals than your average vegan.

Personally I’m not going to do that, but I like meat and will continue to eat meat. I will eat non-factory meat when I can get it and afford it. You can have a problem with that or whatever, but you’re not really being honest with this argument. You only care about animals insofar as what can be done about their consumption for nutrition or clothing, but there’s plenty more that could be done to minimize our overall impact and you don’t seem to talk nearly as much about that.

Also lmao do you think Marx subsisted on carrots?

I mean your take is my take, I don’t think your diet is what makes you a good person. But if someone’s gonna go there, I might as well punch some holes in their argument.
