While we don’t all need to become total vegans, reducing the number of domesticated animals would have a significantly positive impact on both the environment and the quality of those animals’ lives.
This is where I’m at. Half-assed vegetarian. I don’t buy meat but if someone serves it at a dinner I don’t refuse to eat. Baby steps. It’s making progress without the shock of an abrupt change all at once.
Yeah I turned meat into a “special occasion” food, and it was way easier than I thought once I got over the perfectionism. Animal products are a lot easier to reduce than completely eliminate, but every little bit helps.
Sure it does when we’re discussing the motivation for someone to choose eating less meat. If they are doing it for health reasons that’s no less valid than your reasons.
I’m just saying, if your reasons for being against the holocaust is that burning the corpses contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, you are kind of a shitty person, but hey, whatever gets you there…?

This. This is the healthiest take.
The healthiest take is to eat the best quality food you can afford that isn’t ultra processed.
Vegan food can be slop - see beyond meat, meat substitutes, lab grown meat etc. Heck, even South Park made an episode about it.
(I know you meant “the healthiest take in the vegan-nonvegan dichotomy”, but I just couldn’t help myself, tee hee)
Do I just not know how to talk or is it really a reading comprehension issue I’m running in to?
Just saw the last bit of your reply. It is reading comprehension… Mine. My mistake.
It’s not about your health its primarily about the exploited group.
I mean healthiest in the “all or nothing thinking is bad” way.
For you. Let other people have other perspectives and they can all be valid.
“Perspectives” doesn’t work when they are beings being harmed. When they are victims let people oppress isn’t a good take.

You’re the vegan everyone complains about.
Complain all you want, at least I don’t pay people to kill animals so that I may consume their corpse. Merry Christmas though!
