The meat to bone ratio per wing is dreadful, and they also leave your hands a greasy sticky mess

I could say the same thing about every fruit and vegetable. Migrants are forced to live a life of suffering just so I can eat some broccoli. Or the soy industry actively destroying the rainforest.

I could also flip that and say a worker suffers in trade labor, at least give them 10 minutes of enjoyment with that wing. Like someone posted they were depressed and hadn’t eaten in a week so they bought some chicken tacos. My worry comes for the human before the animal. And if that chicken kept them alive another day I’m glad they ate. When I went vegan I also found myself just not eating and relying on other unhealthy outlets.

Veganism falls into the category of personal responsibility that I don’t latch onto. If we want to change our system and ban meat production I’m down, but shaming people into a personal responsibility argument never seems to work.

Yes, the same happens for them to grow and harvest soy, which is then fed to the meat animals. Eating meat contains the suffering that comes with eating vegetables within it and will always be worse.

Enjoyment doesn’t only come from bad things and making that argument is dumb. “Let the [impoverished community] enjoy cigarettes, let the [impoverished community] enjoy heroin.”

No, how about we work towards ending their suffering and the suffering and exploitation of migrant workers in factory farming as well as the animals being tortured.

Think before you post this shit.

Heroin and cigarettes are not foods that allows people to survive.

I’m all for ending the suffering. I also would not advocate people to stop eating broccoli in order to end the suffering of those picking the broccoli. Why is that the go to stance for vegans?
