          it's the english word for animal flesh eaten as food

          if you ask "is there any meat in this" you are not asking about dragonfruit

              yeah man I get it you're a vegan stop pretending you don't know what the word meat means.

              if people eat it for sustenance it's food

              just say you're morally opposed to eating meat these word games are some reddit tier shit

                if people eat it for sustenance it's food

                that's a pretty shitty definition of food which includes humans and dogs

                  yes to a cannibal humans are food. I morally disagree with people killing and eating other humans but if they do those people become food

                    while we're being all smuglord about definitions, let me point out that in English, the word "food" implies that something should be eaten, not only that it can be. for example, the classic finding nemo line, "Fish are friends, not food."

                      look man I don't think this conversation is going anywhere so I'm going to disengage.

                      Don't call me smuglord when you were the one pretending to not know the meaning of the word meat

                        im not "pretending" anything, im making a point about horrible crimes people here thoughtlessly commit. you're the one desperate to prove you're a big boy who knows the meanings of basic english words and "prove me wrong" about things that are not related to the point you and i both know im making.
