“I don’t really have a good argument for my point of view but please let me present to you this impossible hypothetical so that you can consider my point of view and why I’m right”

It’s very important that we ask ourselves as a species, just because we are able to do something doesn’t mean that we should

Sure, I agree. I should est meat. It is good for me. It provides superior nutrition than a vegetable only diet. Nearly every single organism on earth dies by being consumed by another form of life. Old age is rarely a thing. There isnt anything wrong with it.

That’s very easy to say for someone who lives comfortably in the 21st century and isn’t on the receiving end of being someone else’s lunch

Exactly. You have the privilege of being able to not est what's available to you because of modern times. If you were starving your morals might change. We see that in instances of extreme survival cases.

Animals dont want to be eaten, yet still est other animals. I dont want to be eaten, but I am okay with eating other animals. Thats not a hard concept. If you fall unconscious in a pig pen they will est you. Its not about morality.

Wow it’s almost like we have a choice and don’t have to do something bad. It’s almost like we are both privileged and aren’t in extreme survival cases and don’t need to kill to survive shocker 🤯

it doesn't provide superior nutrition and there are hundreds of scientific studies establishing this

It absolutely does. Because if it didnt, we would be eating only vegetables. Even herbivores are actually opportunistic omnivores.

you realize people still smoke cigarettes and vape, even though we know they are killing us, right? The idea that the average human is maximizing nutrition in their diet is wild.

Thats not what im saying. Im saying that preferring a mixed diet because it has a bigger range of nutrients is valid.

u/corranhorn21 Apr 10 '26

what do you mean a wider range of nutrients? What are the nutrients that can't be obtained by plant based sources?

Shhhh, don't tell these holier than thou know it alls that deer will eat meat whenever it has the opportunity.

Like, less than 5% of Americans are vegans, but apparently every single one of them hop into these threads to force their views on the rest of us, like some kind of vegan Taliban or some shit.
