I guess vegans like to eat the onion.

This says a lot about the average carnist mindset. A lot of people have no idea their meat comes from dead animals. I think there would be a lot more vegans if people knew and were fully aware of the consequences

But did you know that to eat vegetables, you actually kill them? An innocent life form - dead, just so you can eat. How can you live with yourself?
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 months ago
it’s fucking disgusting. vegans willingness to destroy a life just because it doesn’t have eyes, or ears, or a mouth is just evil.
I hope all vegans reincarnate as iceburg lettuce and rot in the bottom of the crisper.

Vegetables don’t care if they die, but animals do. Animals don’t like dying. I’ve asked lots of animals and very few of them were suicidal.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve asked lots of plants and none of them were suicidal. it didn’t matter how damaged they were, they just kept fighting to live.
don’t you think that’s justification enough to show that plant lives matter?

Mine are. They always die on me. :(

So it’s funny You bring that up because i had a fish that was very definitely suicidal. we did not eat him though.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, give a man a suicidal fish give him PTSD for a lifetime.

If only they were as smart as you, and they could figure out that chicken comes from chickens. They just never put 2+2 together.

Liar. I’ve never seen chicken come from chickens. All the chicken I’ve ever seen has come out of the grocery store.

Yes, but who do you think crochets all that meat into a chicken shape?

Every single person, at most past the age of 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from. Usually much younger.

Every single person, at most past the age of 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from
Almost two thirds could not identify the correct location of a rump steak – despite the clue being in the name - while only 36 per cent could identify that a pork shoulder steak came from the shoulder of a pig.
More than 80 per cent of respondents could not find the part of a cow that a ribeye steak comes from, while only nine per cent said they knew where a Barnsley chop came from on a lamb.
A quarter admitted they felt confused, did not know what to buy and don’t understand what is on display in their local butcher’s shop
You said every person over 12 knows exactly where all the meat comes from. But 80% of British people don’t know where a ribeye steak comes from!
GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What bullshit is this?
I’m not a steak fan and have no clue which parts of a cow all the different cuts come from. I DO KNOW that they all come from a dead cow.
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 months ago
You said exactly.

Your argument was:
A lot of people have no idea their meat comes from dead animals
Then you said:
But 80% of British people don’t know where a ribeye steak comes from!
Stop acting clueless so you can twist his words. They don’t need to know where a ribeye whatever comes from to know it comes from a cow. Which disproves your argument.

Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The cost of chicken tendies vs lentils and rice has a lot more influence on whether people stop eating so much meat more than obnoxious vegans.
bluejayway@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
even if we are obnoxious idiots (which is justified when the whole world thinks killing animals is ok, it’s infuriating), shouldn’t you care about the animals and not us?
BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I invented a device called ‘Burger on the Go’. It allows you to obtain 6 regular size hamburgers, or 12 sliders, from a horse without killing the animal. George Foreman is still considering it. Sharper Image is still considering it. Sky Mall’s still considering it. Hammacher Schlemmer is still considering it. Sears said no.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It is a thing with some pastoralist peoples in Africa (like the Nuer, for example) that they will poke a hole in one of their cattle and drink some of its blood. A little snack-on-the-go that doesn’t kill the animal.

I think people use compartmentalisation to avoid thinking about the consequences when they eat. I bet if you went to a slaughterhouse and saw the death, and if you read the science on the effect they have on local communities
the effect
A study looked at a series of small towns in pairs. One where a slaughterhouse opened, one where it didn’t. The towns with slaughterhouses saw increased alcoholism, mental health issues, spousal abuse…. Taking lives all day long, it damages your soul. You have to become a worse person in order to survive that. A crueler person. It hurts your ability to treat other humans with kindness and respect.
, and you remembered all of that every single time you ate meat for a month, by the end of that month you’d want to go vegetarian.

There’s nothing from this commentor to suggest that THEY eat meat. The only thing we know about them is that they’re an idiot.
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 months ago
And statistically, their idiocy means they probably eat meat.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1790759/
Higher IQ at age 10 years was associated with an increased likelihood of being vegetarian at age 30
IQ remained a statistically significant predictor of being vegetarian as an adult after adjustment for social class (both in childhood and currently), academic or vocational qualifications, and sex

Correlation does not mean causation.
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 months ago
Maybe adult vegetarianism caused childhood IQ. You’ve gotta take those psychic powers into account, maybe there’s time travel involved

I think it would be conceivable to have meat come from living animals, especially if they are GMO’ed with the feel-no-pain gene.
Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There would be some few more, but it would probably be very doubtful of a lot more. People don’t care.
