Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural"
Just_Lyin@lemmy.org 3 days agoI had a vegan roommate for years. I didn’t cook much meat when he was in the house. But I was never personally vegan. I also did agree that it’s more ethical to not kill for your food, let alone all the other horrors of factory farming. And I’m able to accept that I don’t live up to that more ethical standard.
I think maybe people just don’t like to think someone (especially annoying people) might be doing something better than they are? Like you said, special insecurities.

Probably because there’s an inherent amount of hypocrisy in that argument? Unless they source all their meat very ethically they’re likely supporting factory farms. Which is a lifetime of mistreatment and suffering for an animal. And then they quibble about the amount of suffering at death.
