The main reasons I’ve seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don’t have anything to do with the taste of meat.

Since lab-grown meat doesn’t cause animal suffering, and assuming mass production is environmentally friendly, would you consider going back to eating meat if it were the lab-grown kind?

    Oh, better to eat only broccoli. In the third world, with poop of human cow pig. With a lot of antibiotics, pesticides and other chemicals.

      Did I really trigger you so badly that your feeble hormone addled carivore brain tried to get you to think about eating broccoli?

      Wow. New vegan power unlocked.

        Every time I see someone shitting on vegans and saying they’re all assholes I always stick up for them and say I see way more aggressively assholish people arguing for eating meat and in fact I haven’t seen any asshole vegans.

        Thanks for breaking my streak and making it so I can’t say that anymore without it being a lie…

        Just fyi, when I’m trying to stem the flow of vegan hate I see online, I find way, way, way more success in not being an obnoxious asshole. It’s a stupid trend, bashing and shitting all over vegans and vegetarians saying the habit is a good thing. Don’t make it harder for everyone else to get on board with this kind of shit.

              So you think vegans should passively put up with bullshit from trolls and never poke fun back? Why?

                Are you-

                Um. I don’t know what’s even happening here. How do you not get what I’m saying.

                Just fyi, when I’m trying to stem the flow of vegan hate I see online, I find way, way, way more success in not being an obnoxious asshole.

                Or put another way: “it’s best when trying to make sure not everyone hates a good cause, to not be a total dick.” (Read: you’re being a total dick and not helping your cause.)

                It’s a stupid trend, bashing and shitting all over vegans and vegetarians saying the habit is a good thing.

                “I understand it’s a stupid trend that people on the internet hate vegans and anyone speaking positively about veganism/vegetarianism.”

                Don’t make it harder for everyone else to get on board with this kind of shit.

                “You’re making sticking up for veganism/vegans much harder by, as mentioned before, being a dick.”

                Get it now?

                  If you have less respect for vegans because you saw a vegan once took the piss out of a carnist troll on an internet forum… you do realise that’s fucking pathetic of you right?

                    That’s…not what I’m saying. At all. Are you…reading what I’m writing? I literally can’t make it any clearer.

                    You, (as in you, the person I’m talking to) are being a dick (a douchebag, a pissant, an annoying prick). And you being a dick (douchebag, pissant, et. al) makes trying to stop others (other people on the internet; people who are not you; meat eaters) from hating all vegans (other people; not yous who also happen to subscribe to and live the vegan lifestyle).

                    You being a dick makes vegans look like assholes. And looking like assholes makes people hate vegans even more. Stop it.
