I am not sure if veganism and vegetarianism as preached by some religions can be practiced everywhere on the earth. Places which are very cold during the winters cannot grow trees and vegetables, and the people there need to depend on meat from the animals for their survival. What are your thoughts on that.
- ChristianBundy 6y agoAbsolutely. Many humans throughout time and space have used animal agriculture to survive, and there's nobody arguing against that. The question is whether that's where we are right now. My heuristic: when given the option to choose between a vegan option and a non-vegan option, choose the vegan option. There aren't any ways to reduce our dependence on animal agriculture (or human suffering) to zero, but it's pretty easy to reduce it most of the time. I'd recommend giving it a shot. Happy to answer any questions.
- uxcolumbo 6y agoVeganism is defined as "Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose." So the keyword here is 'practicable'. People living in places where there are no alternatives and where people need to eat meat to survive then that would be OK. People living in the western world don't need meat & dairy to survive.
