>you're a hypocrite.
Yes. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't understand why so many people get triggered by that word. Just accept it. It's not a bad thing. I'd rather be a hypocrite than a vegan.
Vegans only exist because their carnivorous society's prosperity.
You could be stuck in China as a sustenance farmer, and you would absolutely eat a fucking dog if that was your lot in life.
> hypocrite
That would imply that I pretend to care about the well being of all animals.
I really don't.
All I care about is caring for my pets and maybe preserving the ecosystem as much as we can.
This is why I favor quality local meat to share with my dogs while the poor eats ground insects just like back in our ape days.
I want meat to be a luxury again.
Animals eat the bits of crops that humans dont.
If no one ate animals the amount of crops needed to support the remaining humans would go up, not down, and there'd be nothing around to eat the shit bits humans dont want.
Yes government subsidies make that cheaper than feeding them hay. It’s not the correct arrangement or a cow problem. It’s an americans eating too much beef and growing too much corn problem.
Because of subsidies and overproduction of meat. That doesnt mean stop eating meat, it means dont eat meat fed corn and onions and fuck communists and their subsidies.
reality. commercialized agriculture grows too much fucking meat so the amount of animals being grown for harvest exceeds the amount of normal feed we would use otherwise (things not suitable for humans, land not suitable for agriculture).
on average people eat 7-10x more meat than their bodies require.

Very talmudic phrasing. “Excessive” meat consumption is healthy for brain, muscle, and bone growth. The only way you can eat “too much” meat is if you’re taking in more calories than you burn, but that’s not unique to meat.

There is a point where your body stops processing it for nutrients and you just get fat (=estrogen production) and have greasy shits unless you down fiber pills. This is also the point where most people sit. It also heavily depends on which meat you're eating. You can consume far more fish than you can cow.

What a dumbass kek
I guess you never heard of mal de caribou, or rabbit starvation. It's when you eat too much meat and it can fucking kill you.
Here's an ancient account of Roman soldiers fucking dying because they ended up eating too much meat >strange terror in the Roman camp. Their soldiers were sick from watching and want of sleep, and because of the unaccustomed food which the country afforded. They had no wine, no salt, no vinegar, no oil, but lived on wheat and barley, and quantities of venison and rabbits' flesh boiled without salt, which caused dysentery, from which many died.
And for the record, I do in fact eat meat, but I eat more plants than meat on any given day.
Waste is a non issue of scale. The real problem is too many humans. The earth can only really handle all the whites in europe before concessions are made - freedom, environmental destruction, etc. it’s time for man to admit that reproduction is not a right.
Lul most livestock can live off natural rainfall and rivers. Crops use far more water. Plus, ever heard of the Water Cycle? Every drop you use ends up back in the Cycle and used again somewhere else. >b-but muh draining Lake Mead!!!
It’s because California is siphoning off all the water west of the Rockies to keep their almonds and winegrapes alive in a bloody desert
No my morals when it comes to eating animals is pretty consistent. >morally eating any animal is fine >the things that make it not okay to eat some animals are purely practical >for example i would not eat a cat because cats have not been farmed for their meat >therefore there is very little meat on cats ontop of the fact unless the cat is mine i do not know what medicine they're on/what poison they've ingested >and I don't want to eat my cat because the emotional toll isnt worth the very little meat >This logic can be extended to dogs too.
Idk. Enough to make them more animal-like than human like.
How many generations did your family go through to make you a mindless trend-follower? Your ancestors would be ashamed.
Threads like these were unironically a big part of why I went vegan because the meat-eater cope is actually laughable and I was embarrassed to be on their side

There are microscopic animals in this glass of water. Therefore, a vegan who drinks it is a hypocrite. It seems that deontological veganism is impossible.
HuRr DuRr "you're trying to get fit but yesterday you chilled on sofa with chips instead of working out". Not being perfect != being a hypocrite, get a better dictionary.
Also animals incapable of thinking are not generally a concern for vegans (so single cellular "animals", mushrooms etc are ok).
virtually everyone is de facto a hypocrite, but being a hypocrite isn't tautologically the case
even then, some hypocrisies are more hypocritical than others
>some hypocrisies are more hypocritical than others
how do you even measure that?
the number of hypocritical behaviors?
the temporal distribution of hypocritical behaviors?
the extent to which the hypocritical behavior deviates from a stated value?
the extent to which the stated value has an emotional affect on you?
some combination of these or other criteria?
you can compare some forms of hypocrisy with each other, hence my original wording of "some"
I agree that in general "degree of hypocrisy" is undefined
one is in the case when it's clear that the object of the value judgment is numerical. that may still allow for disagreement, but if the value judgment encapsulates comparability of hypocrisy, it follows that instances are comparable (both sides agree to the sense)
When you were in your mothers womb, you basically ate her to grow, in a sense, then she fed you her milk when you were born. This is completely natural. But somehow eating chicken eggs and drinking milk is bad in your mind.
Serious response this time: it's a popular misconception that veganism is about diet (like vegetarianism). So feeding on your mom, mother's milk, big tiddy goth gf's milk, eating a roadkill straight from the street, killing a shitbull in self-defense and slurping it's brain, grilling family pet that died of old age for barbeque are all technically vegan. Not very appealing but vegan.

Generally a philosophy or whatever, with a goal of not hurting other conscious beings. If I had my own farm I probably wouldn't care, but in reality factory farming relatively smart mammals (cows/pigs) is a pretty shitty industry.
Also it's consisten (literally this thread) - crying about muh dogeaters while eating other mammals is hypocrisy. But I'm unironically ok with other consistent worldviews like
How so? I simply don't believe anything that doesn't eat meat (synapsid flesh) doesn't have a soul, and is therefore the moral equivalent to an object.
This includes "human" vegans. We should be allowed to eat free range, humanely harvested vegan.
I'm vegan except I eat cats. cats are delicious and since people let them outside you can just grab and eat them. it's free food.
(lol tho)
And obviously utility wins so the real correct answer is
Cost-benefit analysis may say otherwise. Deontologists are hypocrites though.
Manufacturing a sense of superiority when you have absolutely nothing else going for you.
Like wearing a fedora, carrying a revolver, or studying archaic japanese swordplay instead of fencing.
>other conscious beings
That's the thing. Herbivores aren't conscious beings. An active divine spark AKA soul is the soul source of consciousness and it can only be ignited by consuming complex life.
Something must eat a body to gain a soul.

I don't think I've heard a logically sound argument for why ANYTHING except the arguer is conscious or capable of suffering from anyone who does not believe in some kind of a soul. Ever. It's not possible to prove unless you have a full understanding of how "real" consciousness arises in the brain.
basically they dont know or care what the truth is. all they know is that they feel bad when they imagine something with two eyes, a mouth, and expressions or vocalizations they can correctly or incorrectly ascribe emotions that may or may not exists to being "hurt".
that's all veganism is. projecting your humanity onto something. however it most likely lacks it, and you can't even prove other humans are human, you just assume they are because they are biologically and behaviorally so much like yourself.

Do you have to prove it, or just be confident enough for it to factor into your considerations?
If I believe there's a 50% chance that you're conscious, I would still avoid trying to hurt you in case you are actually conscious. I don't need to be 100% sure.

I've had vegans rant at me for eating eggs from my own chickens. They're beloved pets who I care for across their whole life and really just keep because I like them, but somehow eating the eggs they make is immoral.
Veganism may have started as a philosophy but almost everyone now thinks it's Veg+ Extra Smug Edition.
You're going to regret getting attached to them once one of your "beloved pets" gets its neck snapped by a bird of prey, or the neighbor's dog, or the friendly local raccoon disembowels it, or literally any predatory animal nearby kills it, because you know literally anything will kill and eat a chicken.

True, but I think most people who say that stuff aren't spiritual at all in any other aspect of life and just use it as a cope for why eating meat is ok
Imagine having complete dominon over a planet that is powered by destroying others and you go completely against this circle of life and just eat plants like the lowest level of animals on the planet meanwhile the most powerful eat meat. Meat is for the Gods. Veggies for the peasants. This earth WANTS you to eat meat and by rejecting her gifts you spit in the face if mother nature.
