Every once in a while I get that ominous feeling that killing and specially making animals suffer just for me to eat meat, fish and lactose is extremely wrong, but then I kinda forget.

I kinda see myself hunting wild game though so it's weird.

    Sorry there, misread that as morality. I don't know about mortality rates and don't care about if there's a difference, that's not my argument.

    I also didn't say it was okay for children, I'm saying you're listing those things as some excuse not to switch to a plant-based diet despite not being any.

    Usually people are here because of their ethical beliefs and claiming to be "leftist" but staunchly defending eating meat is laughable.

      Okay. Well, I do care. I like to eat meat. I am going to continue to eat meat.

      Well no, I just don't get why this supposedly enlightened way of engaging with the world is bad for some groups of people.

      I mean it's only laughable if you think animals are the same as humans, which I don't. Also there's a lot of leftists you'd be invalidating with your belief that you need to be a vegan to be a leftist, like literally all its founders and philosophers.
