The irony being that a ton of marketed vegan food is dripping with palm oil, and if the companies produced it using oppressive, slave-like animal labor instead of oppressive, slave-like human labor, vegans would choose not to eat it.
- mauflows 5y agoTwo things can be bad at once and plenty of vegans will also watch out for palm oil.
- oh_sigh 5y agoI agree - my point is that mere veganism can't be a moral baseline because it completely ignores the suffering of the workers who help produce the food.
- sweetheart 5y agoIt doesn’t. You misunderstand veganism.
- oh_sigh 5y agoI don't. Otherwise palm oil wouldn't even be an issue in the community.
- xvector 5y agoThe suffering involved in the creation of palm oil over the course of years does not come anywhere close to the amount of suffering caused by a single day of factory farming. The latter is many magnitudes greater.
