You're getting downvoted, but you're simply correct in pointing out the hypocrisy in those who claim to value animal wellbeing while also funding animal agriculture.

I don't think any of the sources you mentioned here actually justify animal agriculture on the grounds of causing less death, though. The first two sources aren't specific to agriculture specific to human consumption, just agricul

Animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors to the climate crisis, so I don’t think your point about carbon capture is valid.

You think you’re making some type of well constructed argument, but it’s the same flawed reasoning that every. single. carnist. uses over and over and over. it’s extremely tiring. You’re also very hung up on my typo. Why? It just makes your

My email is in my profile. If you want to discuss it we can schedule time to video chat. I was not exaggerating when I said that I have explained this concept hundreds of times and I am so tired of it.

Whether or not you can find information on how anemic animals behave when confined to cages doesn’t change the fact that this suffering does occur. The obligation is not on me to painstakingly hold your hand through understanding how fucked

There is a lot here to respond to. A LOT. I could spend an hour typing out a monolithic response but that won’t be as good recommending some reading to you. “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer is a great start, and “A Plea for the Anim

The fact that you see advocating for the widening of the circle of moral consideration as “pandering not hypothetical future moralists” is an embarrassing self burn.

How exactly did I mis characterize your argument? I’ve reread it about 10 times and cannot understand how you’re advocating for animal welfare. You say that people can easily value animals lives less than their tastebuds, but still want to

The fact that some people need to have it explained to them that just because you _could_ cause someone more harm doesn't justify causing them a lesser amount of harm is just mind blowing.

You are more than capable of figuring out why the scenario you laid out has very little, if anything, to do with how we treat animals. I have responded the comment you just wrote _literally_ hundreds of times. I am so tired of it. You can f

When people proudly proclaim that they simply do not care for the suffering of animals, I wonder if they realize that they sound like the millions of people who were on the wrong side of history. The circle of moral consideration in the Wes

Veganism is a moral philosophy, so it really _only_ makes sense to use that term when referring to people. "Vegan" food is short-hand for "plant-based" food. Food does not subscribe to moral ideals, only people do. It&#x

Why the parenthesis around “saving lives”? You seem skeptical that actually contributing to saving lives is possible.

Sure, but _why_ is the question. I cannot understand how you think more good comes from making sure the local boys soccer club has a clean field to play vs. ensuring 4 families will sleep without the risk of contracting malaria. What makes

Can’t we just cut through the Gordian Knot and understand that our moral obligation is somewhere between an annual donation to a local opera house, and donating all your excess money to organizations to end malaria? It’s so tiring to see th
