    A lot of the vegan haters are uncomfortable with the moral issues with meat consumption and rather than seriously work through their feelings and try to figure out where they stand they just mock those who make them uncomfortable and conflate them to the most annoying of the group.

    Very similar to people who haven’t worked out their religious trauma hating on even decent religious folks

      moral issues with meat consumption

      Why do you assume omnivores have any “moral issues with meat”? Your comment implies that vegan diet is somehow morally supreme, which is an utter rubbish. It is a dietary choice, the same as eating bread or not.

          everyone makes such distinctions. including vegans. they don’t care that animals are displaced by agriculture, killed in the protection of crops, or their harvesting.

              people can’t eat grass or silage. but that’s entirely besides the point. vegans don’t avoid plants that were protected from pests and scavengers. they decide to treat some animals differently for just as arbitrary reasons.

          I love this description of morality, but am curious about your opinion on the arbitrary decisions comment: do you feel that cultural tuning (often underpinned by cultural heritage and available food options) is an invalid way to select “acceptable” meats? No judgement, your comment just got me thinking

          And, there you go, as per the original comment above: “Holier-than-thou vegans with pamphlet level arguments they force upon everybody are a problem.”

          🙄

          You are only “more moral” on the same level as Jehova Witnesses are somehow “more moral” than other religions.
