    It isn’t a zealot view to want to cause less suffering. When you have a choice to not eat meat and you choose to eat meat you’re the problem.

      It is definitely a religious zealot of view that the only way to prevent animal suffering is to be vegan. Also, an extraordinary lack of imagination.

        It seems unlikely that eating lab-grown meat, for example, will be as efficient, in terms of CO2 emissions, as simply being vegan in a reasonable time frame. And it is currently not something that exists in a reasonable scale, so it’s not a “religious zealot view” to advance the current most practical, efficient, and easiest solution.

        And some people who are vegan would not necessarily be against lab-grown meat, but it depends on who you ask
