    So much of online veganism just reads like picky eaters being disgusted with people for having actual taste.

    The ocean is not dirty, people have been eating out of it for hundreds of thousands of years. Eating a few sardines is not gonna poison you lmao.

      It’s not “online veganism” to be against eating animals, that’s just veganism

        Its not about being against eating animals, its the way they frame eating animals as dirty or gross. Like the whole "milk has pus in it" line, it indicates a childish view of food.

          You are not superior to others because you have no standards for your food’s sensory experience, or because you would guzzle pus, apparently

          Consider the interaction between “black-and-white” views of morality, veganism, and marx-war autism. There is a pretty good reason for people to be saying the things you’re complaining about that isn’t just childishness.

            Non-vegans are not the ones claiming to be superior. I have never claimed to be better than vegans, I dont agree with veganism but I have no problem with anyone for being vegan. But you are acting childishly if your argument is that something that comes from the ocean is inherently dirty.

            And I have no idea what the second half of your post is about.

      Not a vegan but the Mediterranean sea is Western Eurasia's toilet and it receives no rain and no outflow

      You're eating hypersalty toilet fish everytime you eat from the Mediterranean

      I tried dozens of varieties of sardines and fish from spain and italy, all of them not even mid at best, before realizing this. Everything from the Indian Pacific Atlantic Ocean tastes good. I think most people actually don't have taste and they just fall for "le mediterranean" culture memes and then chow down on shitty bronzino or some other fish that should be a crime to kill for flesh that mid

      the methylmercury is only a thing for high-trophic fish not sardines though

                oh and people were alive when the Mediterranean didn't exist? Jesus christ you're insufferable

                also you never specified the Mediterranean

                Fish has been fished from everywhere since people could catch them, you think people couldn't make food taste good since then? Crackers are so fucking insufferable.

                The problem is that fishing is bad making up some nonsense about how 'it never tasted good in the first place' just makes you sound like an out of touch loser.

                Adjust your posting comrade, or maybe actually go outside and talk to people.
