I really wish all able countries would move away from meat. The cruelty we inflict on these poor animals is absolutely insane.
People are weirdly, emotionally, invested in meat. Like it's part of their identity.
I enjoy the taste of meat but I recognize it's not good for the environment or the animals. So I avoid eating meat. It's not a big deal. But for some people they act like you're going to eat them and bury their bones in an unmarked grave.
Until we subsidize meat replacement options and get the price AT LEAST equal to regular meat, it just won't happen.
Humans don't need meat or meat substitutes though.
Look, we can debate meat vs vegan till we all go blue in the face. If you want humans to get off using real meat, we need an alternative that tastes like meat and costs the same/less. It's as simple as that.
100% agreed. Ethics won't win this war. It's all about cost and convenience. Most people are looking at their personal bottom line.
Humans don't need meat
Yes, some of us do. Not everyone’s body is made to thrive on a vegan diet. Many of us are medically unable to not eat meat.
Interesting. What sort of medical conditions require eating meat?
I have IBS, GERD, anemia, & food allergies. I’ve seen medical professionals over the years and their recommendation is to eat anything & everything I can that won’t make me sick. I pretty much eat the same thing nearly everyday & most vegan protein sources make me sick.
That sucks and is a pretty common "gotcha" to justify the continued mistreatment and murder of animals. Lucky for you you were born the right kind of animal whose comfort and life in general somehow out weighs your dinner's.
You think they are using their medical condition to “gotcha” you?
That’s just sad dude.
It is sad, and vegan haters do it all the time.
This makes an excellent argument for pursuing lab-grown meat. I do just fine on plant-based meat alternatives and traditional plant-based proteins (e.g. beans). But some people have allergies or other conditions that make this more difficult.
I’m all for lab grown meat as well and hope it’s affordable & safe within my lifetime.
I’ll take the meat if they can get rid of the slavery…
