This was the doc that sold me fully on going vegan.
If you like meat, learn more about where it comes and the practices you are promoting to access it, then decide whether or not to continue.
I kinda agree TBH. This stuff works on some but generally only if they’re already considering veganism. I’m a much bigger fan of trying to convince people around the health and environmental arguments for veganism. I went vegan for those reasons and I’m gonna stay vegan for the ethical reasons.
Then it's serving its intended purpose very well. Which is why it pains me to see so much concern-trolling in this thread about how these kinds of videos are bad or counterproductive as one tactic for getting people to reconsider animal consumption.
Ikr. It would be interesting to see how often the conclusion people come to is "we need to give the animals a good life and kill humanely" instead of "we need to tear down animal farming practices".
The doc that really changed my mind was the Cowspiracy because the environmental implications are actually pretty profound. The ethical stuff is hard to buy into until you buy into the premise that we never ever need to eat animal products.
Ethical reasons is the only reason that stands in the end tbh. People can stop having emotional reactions to gore, there are other diets that are good for the environment and when it comes to health people are very diverse. Ethics is also the hardest thing to argue lol.
I don't remember the particular video right now but "what qualities does a non-human animal lacks that if it was a human you would justify killing and eating them" was a very life changing conclusion to hear. But I can't say I remember the gore I was tricked into watching anymore.
There are animal-based diets that are better for the environment than veganism?
Someone who only eats meat they catch and doesn’t eat eggs or dairy is more ethical and environmentally friendly than your average lacto/ovo vegetarian I think that’s what gay is referring to. There are gradations and I try to give people credit for the little steps they take while also demonstrating that veganism a great way to live. Cmon vegan comrades let’s have some unity.
I was thinking from a dumpster diving angle but I guess your example works too.
Wait you called me gay I'm gonna piss myself laughing.
Yeah veganism is just way easier than both of those but I still would give credit to either of those hypothetical people for trying to live more ethically and environmentally friendly. Glad I tickled you comrade gay. o7
Ah yes, classic alternative to going vegan, eating meat out of a dumpster.
The only form of ethical animal consumption and very accessible to all.
I didn't say meat, did I. You'd be surprised the state the food big chain supermarket throw out is in. In huge amounts.
But you're being so dishonest that tbh I know you don't care about that. Tell me, when did I say this?
How long have you been vegan?
"Animal based", you're so dishonest.
What lol
Animal based implies that the majority of your diet is animal products. I never said animal based, you're being dishonest.
Oh, yeah, I guess it could be taken that way. I was just reaching for a term that was opposite of plant-based.
Guess I should have opted for "omnivore".
So are there omnivore diets that are better for the environment than plant-based?
How long have you been vegan?
