Go vegan if you’re serious about morals and protecting the environment!

It seems so silly to me. Do plants not feel pain?
They do. I learned it first hand… You can call it stress if you like, but plants most certainly experience suffering

Then you should definitely go vegan. A vegan diet needs the least amount of plant deaths and plant suffering, since lifestock is being fed with billions of individual plants.

No, I can’t save them. Because systematic problems cannot be solved through individual action
That being said, it’s bold of you to assume someone conscious of the suffering of plants isn’t eating as sustainably as they can with the choices they have available
Also, this is about honey - honey production encourages freely planting wild fields rather than mono crops, and it discourages killing the bees. I don’t share your moral system, but in mine this is about as good as it gets

Oh so you are a vegan?

No, I just eat very little meat. Most of my meals are rice and beans with whatever veggies I have on hand mixed in, preferably locally grown. I’ll also add in eggs sometimes, which unfortunately don’t come from a local source because I don’t have one anymore
And occasionally I go out for a burger or sushi, but I do it rarely and consciously. I enjoy it even more because of that And by framing it this way, I’ve convinced most of my friends and family to cut back and think more about their choices.
I don’t subscribe to the vegan moral system, I find it often inconsistent and confused. Like here… What’s best for the bees? What’s best for the ecosystem? What’s best for the humans?
