/c/food is basically /c/veganfood at this point, and is all but being moderated as such with meat posts requiring NSFW tags* and pinned threads pushing veganism. /c/omnivore (or something along those lines) would be an explicitly non-vegan food community so there just doesn't have to be interaction between vegans and non-vegans wrt food posts.

* Despite members of the community expressing multiple times that we didn't want that. And the thread announcing it was locked immediately.

Sorry this borders on /c/strugglesession, but this is still the right comm for this. We shouldn't struggle session about the merits of veganism here; just discuss whether there should be an explicitly omnivore community.

        My intent to to draw a line from the violence to the meat. If you feel shame for participating in violence that is your own concious.

            Animals feel pain. Inflicting pain is wrong. Humans aren't special.

                    If anything, this debate proves we are the stupidest of all animals.

                    Bears just eat whatever the fuck they want, they don't waste time on pointless shit like this.

                    This is a terrible take, comrade.

                    colonial racism

                    "The fact that we are having a debate on morality shows that we are superior. Those savages barely have clothes, not mention guns or sewers or any semblance of technology. Until they demonstrate that they are more than mindless animals, they are a pest to be wiped out."

                        So the mentally disabled, the type who can't function without constant care and attention they are okay to commit violence against?

                            I'm just following your logic. Humans are special because we commuicate complex thoughts and that makes us different from animals. Some humans can't do that but we still treat them with respect and love and compassion becuase we reconise their pain and suffering. So if it's not the complex thoughts and communication that makes inflicting pain on humans wrong what is it?

                                Fundamentally in the capacity to feel pain we are no different from animals though. They feel fear and pain just like us. When you cut into their skin it feels exactly the same as when we are cut. They have the same nervous system as us just not as developed brains. So I don't see any differnce between us and them when it comes to violence. I don't see them as lesser just different the same way a disabled human isn't lesser to me.
