      One form of harm does not excuse the other. We all have to make some effort on multiple fronts if we want the future to be brighter. Besides, it’s easier to survive as a vegetarian than without technology in modern society.

        Brighter according to whom? By what standard? Is this a dietary restriction you would enforce on other through violence, or by some other authoritarian means?

          Well hopefully the democratic process can help us find a decent standard. No violence or authoritarianism required.

            As long as it doesnt involve chick peas, lentils, or any of that hippie garbage that the patchouli posse calls “food”. Vegan cooking is horrible, and I know vecause I am surrounded by them

                  Just because you’re surrounded by bad cooks doesn’t mean vegan/vegetarian food is bad… unless you also tell me that the only part of your meals that you enjoy is the meat and you hate all your side orders? 🤔

                    Oh goddamn what a bunch of gatekeeping shitasses. You people just can’t, can you?? I fucking hate chickpeas and lentils, and that is a basic protein source for vegans. Vegetals are awesome and my favorite part of the meal but vegan preparation of them sucks. Got it? Capiche? I dont fucking like it. I want butter on my goddamn corn and not some fakeass bullshit that isnt fucking butter. Do you understand? Do you get it? Or are you gonna respond like an asshole yet again and tell me my taste is all wrong?

        Thing is I could make efforts on all fronts except for eating meat every now and then and you guys would still be mad even if I made more effort then you everywhere else.
