This type of “what about if I had a disease that would kill me if I didn’t eat meat” concern trolling is intended to distract from the underlying issue of mass slaughter. The actual justification that this kind of industrial-scale suffering is acceptable because the food tastes good annd non-human animals don’t matter isn’t as clean an image as disability-rights advocate.
Yeah think I'm going to tap out of my second experience in this specific topic struggle sesh. It's so tiring seeing people who know better advocating pointless cruelty when they'll criticize libs and chuds for the exact same thought patterns
what about if I had a disease that would kill me if I didn’t eat meat
This exists. I never said I had that issue, but I do know people who do. Continue to live with your head in the clouds if you want.
If you want me to educate you on the science relating to this, I can. If you're not willing to educate yourself on disabilities and how to help people with them, maybe you should.
Sure, educate me, but don’t pretend that every Reddit-tier anti-vegan is arguing from a sincere concern for these people. I know that there are certain conditions that make going vegan very difficult. However this is a systemic failure to provide alternative sources of protein and nutrients.
Killing billions of sentient beings every year is bad. And if you want to argue otherwise, I don’t see why it would then be unethical to kill and eat a dog. And from the animal’s point of view, your reasons for killing them don’t matter.
Every time someone cites a medical condition, I’ve been able to explain that it doesn’t absolutely require eating meat. It’s harder, but it’s preferable to murder, which is the underlying issue you seem unwilling to confront.
I’m not a medical expert so I’m not going to question what you said. I know people in person who claim that they cannot go vegan because of a nut allergy or something similar so that is what I was referring to earlier.
My reaction is because of my background. I grew up in a family that raised livestock. All throughout childhood I had these books that taught me to think of animals as friends. I liked to play with the chickens. And then one day they would be gone. For me it might as well have been grandma being taken out back and shot.
Still, it took until I was 25 before I went vegan. It finally occurred to me that I couldn’t justify eating meat. I still cannot justify it, under any circumstances. So I am left with a feeling of understanding, yes, but the horror will always be there. I’m an emotional person.

I don’t recommend further engagement.
