i kinda agree with OP, not in the extreme sense. A lot of people harp on climate change, but doesn't want to sacrifice anything significant in their own lives to make a change. This is not just about being Vegan, people can try to drive less and bike/public transit more, recycle, eat less red meat etc etc., but they don't. I'm not going to judge because I am part of the same hypocrisy. I believe in climate change, but I'm never going to stop eating meat, or buy a smart car, or stop buying from companies that contribute horribly to the environment.
You don't need to be vegan, you need to have a backyard garden and buy local as much as possible. While shopping at grocery stores on a regular diet is the most horrific, even grocery shopping from stores on a vegan diet is still extremely wasteful and ineffecient use of energy WHEN COMPARED to growing your own food and purchasing local.
This thread represents the epitome of the stupidity of anti-climate folks. CH4 is bad so if you are against climate change you must become vegan!!!!
When people around you tell you that you make no sense, do you just ignore them? Or is there just no one around?
I don't advocate veganism either. That is why what you are saying makes no sense. I am not oppressing anyone but it sounds like you are oppressing your brain from having a logical discussion.
I agree. Punish your collective selves first by building massive Mexican proof walls around your individual homes. The rest of us should not be subject to the costs and consequences of building a stupid 12th century wall across the Southern border.
This is totally unrelated. Rice milk is essentially processed junk food. This diet has nothing to do with a healthy vegetarian diet , just like meat from cattle raised under industrialized agriculture have nothing to do with cattle who roam on prairies and farms with actual grass. It all comes down to overconsumption and the corporate forces that drive it.
Well of course, it uses the same faulty premise you rely on. Now all you have to do is apply the same standard to your post and we will all be in agreement.
Rice Milk is usually fortified with Vitamin D & Calcium in abundance so it's no more junk food than milk unless you think the fat in Milk is worth something.
Do you really believe that a (voluntary) vegan diet is as attainable as a carbon tax? I am absolutely in love with y’all’s logic: comedic gold.
Science shows that we evolved to have larger brains because of meat. Will vegans split off from us in the evolutionary tree into a sub-human race of constantly ill, weak, idiots? wait.... nevermind
You really are the last one to be discussing logic. No a voluntary vegan diet isn’t realistic, it requires societal and governmental pressure at the macro level. It isn’t anymore obtainable than the idea of no tax enforcement or the voluntary paying of taxing. Somethings require large government action... be it forming a military in 2018, changing the US diet or building a wall on the Southern border.
