    So if I'm at work and there's a bunch of beef jerky and other non vegan snacks here that were brought in but have been mostly ignored, should I throw them away? Is that a better use of those products than eating them or donating them?

      What even kind of question is this?

      Are you asking what to do if you forget to feed yourself? That's your responsibility.

                I'm not saying we should eat people, but if it came to it and my body could keep people from going hungry, dig in.

                  Yeah, that's called consent. Animals that we rape and murder for their labor and flesh did not consent to any of that. It's not food, it's violence.

                  Besides, it's a leading question you pose. You can donate food (read: from plants) to folks instead of corpses.

                  I encourage you to go read my pinned post of vegan marxist theory, and also go read the resources in the sidebar.

              If you're going to organize food for your local homeless folks or other people in need of mutual aid, you're going to give them beef jerky? As opposed to actual nutritionally dense food?

              Fuck outta here with your bad faith arguments.

                Lord almighty, I'm using an example of something that's already existing, is free, and available. You know most people with limited access to food don't have a lot of options for nutritionally dense food, let alone vegan choices right? Have you ever been to what passes for a market in a food desert?

        This was posed as an earnest question but maybe it didn't come through over the internet. So seriously: what do I do in this case?

          Animals aren't products, nor should they be treated as commodities. If someone raped and tortured me, then murdered me for my flesh, would it be wasteful not to eat my corpse? No, because I'm not a commodity, nor do I consent to being one.
