    I'm not sorry for causing this.

    Also holy fuck if someone says "obligate carnivore" to me one more fucking time I am going to reach through the screen and suffocate them by stuffing a head of cauliflower down their throats.

    Anyway, one reading of this TOS update bans discussions of meat eating as it advocates immanent harm and is an unhealthy diet.

      I doubt any of the people yelling obligate carnivore like it's an incantation to banish vegans actually know what it means.

        yelling obligate carnivore at vegans

        Seeing as vegans are definitional proof that humans are not obligate carnivores...

        If it isn't a cat or a snake or a spider or some shit like that it isn't an obligate carnivore. Just keep asking them if they are a cat snake or spider and if not to shut the fuck up.

            Obligate carnivores are also called hypercarnivores, which are animals whose diet consists of at least 70 percent meat.

            let's start another struggle session on whether or not it's ethical to selectively bread vegan cats into existance.

          Obligate carnivore is an ecological descriptor. It doesn't mean plants are poisonous, only that in the wild they seek their nutrients from meat and when not available they starve.

          In the most extreme case you could startrek replicator some meat, and by logical extension there are steps before that are nutritionally complete and digestible while still being artificially constructed. E.g. by isolating or synthesising nutrients and pellitising it.

          It is a fallacy to go from "snakes only eat mice in the wild" to "therefore humans must feed mice snakes" and anyone who doesn't see the extremely obvious flaw in that reasoning is outing themselves as a complete buffoon. Whether it is practicable does not make waving "obligate carnivores" any more respectable.

      The wrong person is apologising here. You did nothing wrong. (lol I misread what you wrote)

      Also I have zero interest in non-vegan's opinions on vegan matters. If someone knowingly and calmly get involved in the industrial murder and exploitation of animals, everything they say about the issue is just concern trolling. It's like the millions of carnist Westerners who hold strong opinions on PETA.
