How come you aren't vegans?
>>701376610
because i don't eat the food of my food
kys OP
>>701375598
Vegans are so 2003, it's not bait anymore for years...now it's all about muslims
>>701376610
See no reason.
Meat tastes good.
>>701376698
>>701376894
But theoretically speaking, shouldn't we as a society aim to minimize the injury and damage we make towards others? It is not a secret that eating meat is directly harming others.
>>701376610
Because I enjoy happiness in my life instead of suffering just for the sake of a high horse.
>>701377099
plants are living organisms too, they have genes, they avoid damage as good as possible, they reproduce sexually, stop lying to yourself
>>701376610
even if I gave up beef, most other animal products are still good
>eggs
>bacon
>chicken
>turkey
and even then steak is good stuff
I do primarily eat vegetables though just because they're cheaper
>>701377099
>others
animals are not people, especially so for animals born and raised for slaughter
>>701375598
Veg man here
>>701377229
Isn't it pretty counter-intuitive to compare the suffering of an animal to the suffering of a plant? Don't joke yourself, but I get your point.
>>701377099
we should be moving towards curing the problems eating meat cause and smoking and all that stuff instead of telling people what they should do
>>701377315
Well the primary goal wouldn't neccesarily be to remove all sorts of animal products, just to decrease the consumption of them.
>>701377505
But but but if eating meat IS a problem
How isn't NOT eating it a solution?
>>701377149
Are you completely sure that happiness is unreachable without the consumption of meat?
>>701377445
suffering. again you lie to yourself. animals FEEL pain, yes, but they lack the ability to contemplate their own situation in the context of the surrounding circumstances, which means that they are not able to actually suffer like a human being is
>>701375598
serious question for the vegans, Do you find that you spend less money than when you consume meat or veggies plus vitamins ends up balancing out to the same spending
>inb4 found the jew
>>701377640
if it causes problems to your health we should cure those problems. if it causes no problems to the individuals health then there is no problem
Im vegan. By the way Im vegan
>>701377758
I guess that depends on your view of who is included within "individual". Some include animals, and they are with no doubt harmed.
>>701377543
I agree with that, primarily because meat production is extremely inefficient
>>701377689
if you picked just anyone off the street and told them they got a free salad or a free steak, how many do you think would choose the steak?

I'm a vegan. Not a preachy one though. I use to give vegans a bad time until I started dating one who convinced me to give it a shot. It's definitely a great lifestyle choice. Much cheaper, and also great for the environment. I still eat meat and animal products occasionally if know it's been produced in an environmentally friendly way, and not mass produced.
>>701377745
Vegan here, it depends on what I eat. There are plenty of substitutes for meat (soymeat etc) which can be quite expensive. However, most food you make yourself, with lenses, chickpeas or beans as bases can be incredibly cheap.
lab meat is developing nicely, I think in 5-10 years we will have lab grown juicy red meat available, and in another 25 years we won't even question eating lab meat as opposed to factory farmed meat
>>701375598
I'm veganish. I've cut out meat/fish completely but I still occasionally have dairy products like cheese or sometimes lactic acids or other bi products because I live in butt fuck nowhere and there's few places to go out and eat so when I do go out I won't deny myself something I like every now and then.
This is more for environmental reasons more than anything, even if ultimately they don't make perfect sense weighed against the issues with soy agriculture.
I'm not militant, defensive or vocal in anyway about my diet. For a long time I outright hated vegans and veganism in general until I started seeing documentaries about the enviromental issues with agriculture.
I don't oppose game hunting when it's regulated, nor do I oppose meat eating in general, and I am in support of the consumption of insects. If I could find a steady and reliable source of insect based proteins I would likely at the very least try it out for a while.
Obviously I don't see the consumption of meat as unnatural or immoral, just unsustainable.
>>701377938
I think most people would choose the free steak, but I don't see how that equates happiness.
from where you vegans get Vitamin B12 from?
>>701378038
>cheaper
Except for all those supplements you have to take to stay healthy. and nowhere is organic food less expensive than non organic food.
>>701378084
Very likely
>>701377689
It contributes to the overall joy from life.
Whenever I travel I sample local cuisine, be it springbok in South Africa or puffin breasts and Minke whale steak in Iceland.
>>701378184
As a vegan, I can promise that there is not a bunch of supplements to buy, I think that has been excessed. However, it may be for some.
Pretty much, have been cutting down from beeing a vegetarian for a few years now.
Im eating like a vegan now and have done so for a while but i feel i cant really call myself one until im entirely certain i wont "cheat".
Im vegan
Best thing i ever did
I actually feel good every day and ive only been sick once in 2 years
>>701378171
Same place malnourished meat-eaters get theirs.
>>701378146
I had the wrong idea with that one
If you took someone out to dinner because they were feeling sad or depressed, what do you think they would order?
I'm not one to deny that you can make a pretty damn good salad, but I wouldn't feel very excited about looking forward to one after a long day of work.
>>701378184
Eh the supplement thing is kinda of a myth. Plus if you workout, you're probably already taking the required supplements. I also grow a majority of my own food.
>>701378333
It's a little silly to have to take supplements just to eat a certain way
>>701378429
which is what?
>>701378448
Oh I get your point. But it can as well be argued that we have taught ourselves that we find happiness in that kind of meat. I know I have once comforted myself in meat in sadness.
However, even if I do understand your scenario, it creates a false dichotomy. Vegan food does not eqaul salad. There are fantastic substitutes which can taste extremely well, even close to steak.
>>701378426
how do you know that this is solely because of being vegan?
>>701377099
I'm vegan, and I disagree.
Altruism is fine, but not natural. Good for you for having your beliefs and sticking to them, but you shouldn't try to force them on others based on altruism.
The simple reality is that some animals are evolutionary predestined to be food for others. The problem with this reality is that somewhere in the past 150 years, humankind severely fucked up and moved beyond the point of being an apex predator. Never before has an apex predator numbered 7 billion and counting, nor has one ever grown to the social or technological point we have, that it requires mass industrialization of its food sources to survive. We've outgrow our hunting grounds, and traded necessity for pleasure.
That's the only real problem with meat. Nothing else.
>>701377745
I spend way less.
I dont buy fancy expensive vegan stuff though.
Dried soy-"meat" in bulk (20 kg dried lasts like 2 years and is about 80-100 euro), lenses, beans and whatnot.
I spend maybe 5-10 minutes more to create food (maximum) and save shitloads.
Only vitamins i need are b12 which is not that expensive.
>>701378679
lol, if you want a taste close to steak, then for fucks sake eat a god damn steak
>>701378540
You don't. I know vegans who don't take supplements and it's fine for them.
>>701378584
Local pharmacies.
>>701378090
The word your looking for is vegetarian. Dumb fuck.
>>701375598
faggots? like thousands
In the latest UN report the largest contributor to greenhouse gas build up was the raising of livestock.
Why don't we hear about this?
Because the meat industry is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the world.
In fact, even if we literally reduced all other contributors (fossil fuels etc) to absolute zero, we would still destroy the earth relatively soon.
A good documentary on this is cowspiracy which you can find on netflix and youtube.
We're literally going to wipe out life on earth for something as trivial as our tastebuds and money. We deserve it I guess.
>>701378721

your family is just too poor to buy meat.
>>701378679
>Vegan food does not eqaul salad.
I know, it's just a easy thing to say, compared to whatever abominations people make with tofu
>>701378757
Good point, but then we're back at square one. I don't eat steak because it is unhealthy, unsustainable and unethical. Not because I dislike the taste of it.

While only morons argue semantics, I will endure you.
I'm aware of that, but ultimately I stick to a vegan diet. Just very occasionally I stray from it. Because of this I identify as veganish.
>>701375598
Veganism is fucking stupid.
You're competing against other neurologies utilizing pragmatic heuristics that deal with levels of valuation other than morality.
Your morality for animals is useless if the people, without your valuation, are in control. Therefore being in control IS morality for a neurological entity seeking to instantiate a moral-aesthetic vision.
aka lift weights, eat the shit out of meat and fats, and bully the fuck out of fucktards who don't deserve positions of power.
>>701378867
Vegan diets are often at times more expensive, depending on what you're buying you silly nigger.
>>701378962
you could've tried eating DIFFERENT meat, not the supermarket shit you were used to eating
Vegans ALWAYS have an agenda and are extremely militant about it. They can't leave it at simply, "oh, thanks for asking, it's my diet choice". (Notice how we don't ask yet they push it on us anyway.)
Yes, meat it's fucking tasty and no, it does not cause cancer. That is dumb and untrue propaganda.
Fyi, I absolutely love veal. I would totally eat a veal sandwich in front of a vegan but I don't have a burning need to tell them about it.

>I use babbys first big words to hide the fact that my post has no substance
>>701376610
It's simply too much effort. I don't have the time or patience to try and find replacements for meat or products containing animal derivatives.
I don't want to have to check the ingredients of every single thing i pick up off a supermarket shelf, i don't want to phone 12 different pizza places just to find one that offers soy cheese (or whatever the fuck they use instead of cheese), i don't want to be the dick in starbucks who asks for soy milk or who has to pay 5 times the price for a carton of it just because i drink tea and i don't want to have to check totally innocuous shit like shampoo for animal derivatives because there is a LOT of shit that contains something that came from an animal.
Meat is cheap, tasty, easy to find, easy to cook and so versatile.
>>701378540
Not that many supplements you need (only one i know of if you eat properly).
Most vegans are probably a lot healtier than the average meat-eater as they have to be more conscious with what they eat.
I eat a lot more healthy now than when i ate meat, back then i figured you only need proteins / carbon hydrates and thats it. Most meat eaters i know still eat like this.
My point is, being a vegan is a bit of a hassle in the beginning but once you get used to it (which goes surprisingly fast) its not.
Everyone should eat whatever they want, i just kinda dislike how "meat-eaters" in general have so many wrong assumptions about veganism/vegetarianism. (my grandparents basically believe i live on only salad)
>>701379032
Did you even read a single word I wrote, or were you too busy checking your thesaurus for ten dollar words to help compensate or your stupidity?
Nowhere did I say it was based on morality.
I believe that omnivorous diets are entirely natural and beneficial to human health.
But, at this point in time, the international meat agricultural industry is unsustainable in the long term.
>>701379232
The unhealthyness is debatable, that I can agree upon. It's also debatable if it's unethical, but it is unsustainable in most cases. Not the least for humanity.
>>701379178
I love this argument because it assumes a few things about the person your arguing with.
1. Access and funds for locally sourced/organic/ethically raised meat
2. That it invalidates the argument for reducing meat consumption despite the fact that 90% if not more of the meat consumed is from large scale producers that sell to supermarkets
>>701379215
But at the same time, you have to have sympathy for them. They discovered something they feel is truthful, why wouldn't you want to tell people about it. Same thing with foil hats.

You only need the b12 but the type of b12 used in supplements are not biologically available for humans to use. So you are not getting enough b12 and causing your self neuron/brain damage.
Enjoy your "healthy life style"
>>701379215
Let me make a comparison for you
Vegans have included animals in their sphere of moral concern. So like the people who wanted to free the slaves vegans feel it a moral obligation to argue for the liberation of sentient beings that suffer.
If dogs and companion animals were killed like this there would be an uproar but we've created a false dichotomy between companion animals and those reared for food that blinds us to the inherent needs and worth of all animals.
>>701380477
yeah that's it. demand everyone follow your lifestyle choice.
you must be vegan because these statistics say so.
next up a picture of cows and percentages of water that could be saved.
with regards to animal flesh, it's not just that which is used, there are more products so for your ratio of carrots to steak, take into account dairy, leather & other by products

I'm vegetarian, and was vegan for two months, but it's socially hard in the South (United States). It felt amazing energy-wise, but I was constantly shitting fibrous material. I love animals, and find that I can keep my weight off better without meat (lost 50 lbs), and I have more energy. Adding dairy back in, however, helps with the shitting problem!

non vegan - there are major health risks involved in consuming only vegan diet. it is so malnourishing to the human being that weaker individuals, like babies, actually die of malnourishment if they are given only milk of their vegan mother. also there it requires a person to carefully manage what they eat just to compensate for a lot of basic nutrients and vitamins that they would get if only they consumed meat/fish and dairy.

Chicken meat production consumes energy in a 4:1 ratio to protein output; beef cattle production requires an energy input to protein output ratio of 54:1. (Lamb meat production is nearly as inefficient at 50:1, according to the ecologist's analysis of U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics. Other ratios range from 13:1 for turkey meat and 14:1 for milk protein to 17:1 for pork and 26:1 for eggs.)

Modern water sanitation is a good thing, but it means there's no naturally occuring b12 - which comes from bacteria found in soil (and therefore natural water sources).
Since livestock have the same water sources as us in modern farms, they also need to be given b12 supplements. Eating animals for b12 is literally the most retarded way of ensuring you get your b12, since the negative impact of animal products on the body massively outweighs the benefit

The RDA for adults for vitamin B12 is 2.4 micrograms daily (1). About 2 rounded teaspoons of large flake Vegetarian Support Formula (Red Star T-6635+) nutritional yeast provides the recommended amount of vitamin B12 for adults (2). A number of the recipes in this book contain nutritional yeast.

i never said nate diaz or any other particular person is malnourished. but i also said that there are serious health risks if you don't properly manage your diet after going vegan. a simple google search reveals plenty of stories or death and hospitalization due to malnourishment related to veganism. so your idea of being right is to pretend i said something else than i said and then name call me? that's exactly my problem with vegans defending their position, they have to twist the words of someone else or twist the facts into something else because if they are faced with reality they would have to admit that just maybe their dietary choice isn't all that great.

industrial food processing is just an extension of the hunting process. it's just way more efficient if you breed the animals yourself so you can just kill them as needed
>>701375598
not actually a vegan since i do consume eggs and milk.
>>701382341
Meat is tasty. No vegan denies that.
Vegans get diabetes too, because they overdo the refined sugars and oils. In fact oil is considered the 'vegan killer' because they use it assuming it's healthy.
Plant-based wholefoods diet is the optimal human diet, but people will only be convinced by doing their own research and ignoring mainstream media sources.
Whether you eat meat or not, you could definitely benefit from eating more fruit and veg. Many people on the 'standard american diet' are hugely malnourished - and surprisingly more iron-deficient than a lot of vegans (this is probably because people tell vegans they will be iron deficient so they up the iron intake)

Well you see only half of the chickens are female (they're the ones that lay the eggs) and they have to be a certain age and health to produce eggs!
However, chickens are actually MADE OF chicken! All of them! Even the males. They dont even have to be healthy or a certain age to be made of chicken, so their input is much much lower!
This has been animal planet with david davidson, stay tuned for the response to your next dumb question!
>>701382855
Factory-bred animals are not the same animals you might find in the wild, so it's not more efficient. They are basically frankensteins
If we compare an american tomato with a european tomato, an american tomato looks beautiful, and huge and brightly coloured, but has no flavour or nutrients. Americans don't notice because they are used to tasteless produce (hence cheese, salt, sugar poured on every salad).
a european tomato is smaller, tastier, ripens at odd times and might be inconsistent in colour but it's delicious and full of tomato goodness.
American fruit/veg and obsession with profit over quality is why they obsess over meat because it's the only flavour they get in a meal.

even if it's synthetic b12, itcan still be absorbed, not 100% is absorbed. Same thing goes for eating iron rich foods, you will not absorb 100% of that iron, more like 10-20%.
>>701375598
Being a vegetarian is hilarious. There will always be more regular people who will keep the meat industry alive, at the end of the day you are just depriving yourself for naive reasons and your struggle will amount to nothing being changed.
Additionally, when someone that isn't a uneducated brat finds out you're a vegan they will immediately know your opinions and thoughts are ill-reasoned and topical.
Do yourself a favor and live out your meaningless life in silence, no one cares that you're an idiot. It's weird that nowadays the dumbest people tend to be the loudest, it's just a sign of the mental struggle they face with daily living.

Chickens yes, cows hell no. Do you have any idea the cost of housing all the cattle in the US? Most of them still wander outside in the midwest. What do you think we use all the non-ariable land for? Why do you think our average beef is the best in the world (Kobe is not what most Japanese get to eat). It's cause we have a shit ton of land for steers to wander on until we decide to eat them. For dairy cows, you're right, but not for the meat we eat.

The liver has a 3-4 year storage of B12, you would be hard pressed to deplete the stores to the point of developing anemia.
Any OTC B12 pill would be more than sufficient to replace B12 not obtained in a vegan diet. The only vegans that develop anemia are retarded.
Not saying being a vegan is not fucking stupid, cause it is. Just saying that your implication that "synthetic" b12 somehow doesn't get absorbed is ridiculous.

Just have an understanding of where your food comes from, try to limit your meat/dairy intake as much as possible, but from local butchers when you can and even if it's possible buy organic food. better for the environment and your body.

No, if there's increased temperature, it's too hot for water to be condensed into rain. Not only that, think of the clouds as an insulator, keeping all that water in. Do you not understand what a greenhouse gas is?
>>701382671
I'm too lazy (must be le malnourishment) so I'll respond to you instead. Children in Africa generally don't get meat in their diet until they're 15 and they successfully don't die most of time.
Cutting out excessive meat consumption, greasy foods, and white bread products makes you feel so much better physically... more energy. Meats should be smaller portions, and not every single meal, greasy and salty foods as a treat, and use whole grain breads. We are not designed to eat excess meat, heavy salts, refined flour, or even dairy and vegetable oils. Use that crap in moderation with some exercise, it is as good as being a vegan.
