  Regarding your last paragraph: that’s unrelated. There are also lots of insufferably vocal meat eaters who feel personally attacked when someone else doesn’t religiously stuff themselves with meat every meal.

    I know zero (0) vocal vegans but 3 meat eaters who make a point on hating vegans and sometimes make it sound like they eat extra meat to spite vegans.

      Yeah, I usually don’t say anything, unless it’s unaoidable and then I usually just say I don’t eat all that much meat.

      Most will leave it at that, but I’ll happily answer. I don’t really want to yuck people’s yums, and the food industry is a bit of a special interest of mine.

      Advertising is one hell of a drug. Everybody running around eating bacon and butter, and beef tallow, and haven’t had a gram of fiber, getting colon cancer at forty.

      Candidly, I think your vocal vegan is like your radical feminist, or social justice warrior, or diversity hire: mostly made up.

      I live in Bavaria. There are multiple politicians who don’t get tired to performatively eat sausages and try to make laws that ban calling oat milk “milk” and vegan burgers/schnitzel/… as if anyone would ever get confused by that.

  But do they realize all atoms eventually cycle through the ecosystem?

  I’m sure all carbon atoms were part of animal at some point. I guess your fake vegans are just molecular vegans and not atomic vegans.

    Hahaha next time I meet one who is starting a discussion to fish (pun intended) for something to trigger on, I now have the perfect comeback 😎

    “you’re just a molecular vegan, not an atomic vegan, you’re just a poser”

    Veganism are the consumption practices of people advocating for animal liberation. It’s not just about diet but also leather jackets/zoo visits etc. It’s not like being part of an animal that imbues the individual molecules with some mystic energy that renders them off limits, it’s that 99.99% of the time that obtaining these molecules in sufficient quantities requires overstepping boundaries of consent if not outright murder/slavery.

    But I would consider scavenged meat for instance vegan, I still wouldn’t because meat gives me the ick now, but I don’t see how it is contrary to animal liberation (provided it doesn’t disrupt other animals mourning rituals or something similar). Or rescued sheep still require shearing. It’s not as brutal as farmers shearing and obviously not done with the wool in mind but rather the sheep. So the sheep are typically shorn(?) sooner than enslaved sheep and not as close to the skin, making “vegan wool” quite a bit harder to work with, but I would consider socks made out of that wool vegan.

  I’m just saying this specific fruit has a literal animal inside of it

  • TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    All fruits have that, if you enhance your view enough. Put any fruit under a microscope and it’s crawling with creatures.

      Where do we draw the line? Seems like it’s impossible not to eat an animal
