reposting from the other thread for any carnists who wander in
he is massively, objectively incorrect, transport contributes only a small percentage of the environmental impact of food, and animal agriculture is so fucking environmentally bad that its not even close
and more importantly of course it still requires enormous amounts of completely unnecessary animal murder
I figured as much, but even then I'm thinking... who eats avocado with every meal? Is Carter's imagination so dull that the only vegan food he can think of is chips and guac?
the funny thing with avocados too, at least in a*stralia, is that the capitalists believed all the millenial avocado toast memes uncritically like ten years ago and everyone invested in avocado farms, and now the trees have grown theres a massive glut of avocados and huge amounts of them just get dumped in landfill (insert steinbeck quote). so any problem with avocados has very little to do with vegans
even eating a single avocado every day would be ~80% of my entire monthly food budget on it's own
"But factory farming!"
Not what I'm talking about.
You're talking about Crony Carnism, real Carnism has never been tried.
lol he blocked me for saying ACAB includes US soldiers too when he was trying to virtue signal on police brutality.
"But meat is murder / slavery / literally the Holocaust"
Listen to yourself.Time to pack it in fellow vegans, we have been destroyed by facts and logic
Fuck you.
“Sustainably raised meat” - you’re still killing animals who don’t want to die for food you don’t need.
I really hate they sealion comic. It has the same energy as "fuck you, anyways I disengage."
Not only is he cherry-picking a tiny overlap in the distribution of the environmental cost function, he's also just wrong.
For example, a single banana costs maybe 10 cents worth of fuel to ship, at most.
socialism is when you antagonize people you agree with 90% of things on and nothing else
What happened with him besides this? He was beloved on the old sub with his tweets always making the front page.
I think he still makes good tweets otherwise, but he has repeatedly shown himself to be profoundly ignorant and frankly spiteful of veganism, so I had to unfollow him. I swear to god, he picks a fight with veganism, unprompted, like every fucking month. Shut the fuck up, Lee.
