🌱 "Do You Think Vegans Are CRAZY?" | Challenging Misconceptions 🌿
  • Any argument for plant sentience is an argument for veganism since according to the USDA, animals consume over 70% of soy and 40% of corn in the US (humans only consume 10% of corn directly). Corn and soy are the two largest crops. Not only does buying animal products kill the animal for that product, but amplifies crop deaths from all the crops they are fed and are inefficiently converted to flesh. You can be vegan and not eat mushrooms. 95% of plant biologists are in agreement plants are not sentient. If they were, still makes sense to be vegan.

    Culture vs. Compassion: Does Culture Justify Eating Animals? [12:06]
  • Do you think gassing animals to death and cutting their heads off is abusive? If so, by your own definition, you're are an animal abuser if you're not vegan. And if you don't think gassing animals to death and cutting their heads off is abusive, that's some pretty serious mental gymnastics.

  • If you think animal abuse is wrong, then being vegan is the only right decision to make.

    Unlike most religions, veganism is based on reality - the reality of ubiquitous animal cruelty in factory farms and slaughterhouses.

    It's impossible to force another person to be vegan since it is an ethical philosophy. Being vegan requires the belief that supporting unnecessary animal cruelty is wrong, not just following a plant-based diet, and the action of not purchasing any animal products that aren't necessary for one's survival. In practice, it is a boycott and an effective harm reduction strategy.

    Because non-vegans purchase the products of violence, vegans are forced to pay taxes that go on to subsidize animal agriculture or face imprisonment and live in communities with reduced accessibility in food systems. It's not the other way around. Think of all the advertisements for animal products a person who is against killing animals sees on a daily basis that are paid for by your dollars when you buy dead bodies and secretions from fast food corporations.

    This idea that the animals rights movement is forcing people to follow plant-based diets is ridiculous, and if you're not vegan, you're forcing animals to die. I didn't force you to watch this video. I hope your conscience compels you to do better for animals that are suffering because of you, and if you do decide to cause less pain and suffering to them, that's an internal force.

    The breeders for small scale goat and cow dairy operations supply factory farms in most cases. Buying starter animals from these places keeps them in operation. Animals cannot consent to giving their bodily secretions to humans. Chickens will often eat their own eggs and it improves their health. Cow milk is for baby cows, not humans.

    If you buy any animal products from a grocery store, they've come from what you would think is a factory farm. Vital Farms Eggs for instance labels their eggs small family farm sourced, ethical, free range. But the farmers they source from still grind up baby male chicks on their first day of life because they can't lay eggs. They gas the hens once they stop laying enough eggs.

  • Rpe feels good to rpists. Animals are sexually abused to create animal products. It's easier to be vegan than you might think, After a few years of following a plant-based diet instead of a flesh and secretion based diet, taste buds change. I've had Taco Bell mess up my order and had a few bites of animal flesh before realizing it. The taste was revolting. Before I went vegan, I liked the taste of meat a lot. When I saw a picture of a pig in a gestation crate and the emotional pain she was in, I decided I didn't want to support my body with that unnecessary death any longer.
