Evidence Supporting A Vegan Diet: http://pastebin.com/X2mNSRnf
(It's a long fucking list and it's not even anywhere near complete.)
So why aren't you vegan?

Take your time.

>>7620271
>Evidence
Peer reviewed medical journals are published on Pastebin now?
>>7620271
I enjoy the taste of meat and am fine that animals need to be farmed and killed for me to eat them.
>>7620321
IDK spamming "I'm not autistic" in unrelated threads seems kinda like something an autistic kid would do.
>>7620323
Are you seriously trying to insult this because it's too long of a list so I had to use pastebin?
>>7620326
Gardein tastes better and you're a mongoloid who didn't fucking look at any of the information.
God damn it I'm starting to lose my patience here.
Drinking cow milk in unnatural for humans but veganism is an eating disorder that is also unnatural for humans.
"The finding helps build the case that meat-eating helped the human lineage evolve large brains, scientists added."

I am a vegan and my stomach hurts all the time. I cannot work. I am a 25 year old man and I live the NEET life with my 72 year old retired father. I wish I were dead so I would not have to eat and would not get hungry. If there were an easy way to kill myself I would do it but I am afraid of what would happen if I attempted suicide and failed.
>>7620327
>Are you seriously trying to insult this because it's too long of a list so I had to use pastebin?
No I'm insulting it because you used the word "evidence" when what you meant was "opinion".
Pastebin isn't a peer reviewed journal. YouTube is not a primary source. There is no "evidence" of anything here.
For future reference the word you were looking for was "opinion".
>>7620327
But it is related. I'm not a vegan because I'm not autistic.
>>7620336
Please don't get me started on that article. It's 2 in the morning and I don't feel like writing an essay for someone who refuses to look at the information that shows their link to be irrelevant.

None of the moral arguments hold weight. This isn't the place to go through them but anyone with the capacity to think critically can work this out.
The environmental arguments largely rely on falsely assuming the rest of the world is as retarded as the USA in raising an inefficient animal on fucking desert or on prime farmland. Sheep on, say, the Scottish or Welsh highlands are nowhere near as wasteful as the land is worthless for much else and the animal more efficient than beef cattle. That doesn't even begin to touch on seafood, fish and chicken either (eggs are top tier and produced properly, rather than in batter, chicken will provide you with shit like capons).
Even if they did if we're going for maximum efficiency in land usage most vegan diets are actually pretty wasteful since they go for taste and variety as much as anything else (not to mention the need for mass production of certain supplements). Anything shipped in from abroad will be an environmental issue too and you better believe it's more difficult to provide a fully vegan diet in some countries.
Now assuming you mean health benefits then yes there are some but comparing a sane diet including meat to a sane vegan diet rather than to the average fatfuck diet will show you it isn't huge. Most value enjoyment in life over a few years at the shit-end of it anyway, assuming you are lucky enough not to die of any other random chance (disease, accident, violence etc). Same reason people binge drink.
Basically most arguments come down to mild benefits or smugness.
I like dairy. Sure, there's better things to eat but it's not that bad for you.
>>7620338
Are you having computer issues where you see something completely different from what everyone else sees? All the peer reviewed studies are linked on that pastebin because the list is too long to post here you fucking moron.
>>7620360
I just linked the evidence showing it is extremely fucking bad for you......
Holy shit...... I'm going to bed.
>>7620355
Meat eating as a catalyst for evolution of the human brain is pretty well known anon. One /fit/fag in the modern day hardly disproves that.
As for whether or not it's necessary now for a functioning brain probably not but it was originally.
Of course what is natural is not always what is good. Drinking cow milk is 'unnatural' means shit all when humans do many, many things that are 'unnatural' of which veganism is but one.
>>7620362
You type like someone from tumblr. This is not a surprise.
>>7620362
I don't care. I drink liquor and smoke the occasional cigar. I like it, I'm going to do it. Life is fucking short and not worth being a faggot over. I don't consume a ton of dairy. I'm sorry I don't conform to your vegan religion.
>>7620361
Which you've mixed in with a bunch of YouTube videos.
Like I said, Pastebin isn't a peer reviewed journal. My criticism is valid: peer review tends to notice and correct things like cherry picking your sources, as you have.
Like I said, your opinion "backed up" by a bunch of articles (and YouTube videos) that you've cherry picked to support your pre-supposed position isn't "evidence". It's "opinion".
>>7620361
>All the peer reviewed studies are linked on that pastebin because the list is too long to post here you fucking moron.
Anon you can cherrypick a study to prove almost everything is carcinogenic in excess or if produced in a poor way or is simply 'linked' to poor health. Lies, damn lies and statistics and all that.
Hell half of those links focus only on the extremes of battery farming or similar. And a good number of the health studies are sticking vegans against the average diet which merely proves those who carefully watch what they eat and avoid overly processed foods (which are largely meat-based) are healthier.
Again comparing two reasonable diets, one vegan and one not, will show you the benefits are fairly minimal. They're there but again most people are not giving up drink for minimal benefits, why do it with meat?
There's no such things as a "vegan diet" so all of the studies are bullshit to begin with. If I eat rice, sugar and oil exclusively every day, that's a vegan diet and yet it will be tremendously unhealthy compared to a balanced omnivorous diet. The whole premise of "veganism" as a completely separate category of diet is retarded since the difference between a 95% vegan diet and a 100% vegan diet is actually no more than 5%. My diet is 90 - 95% vegan by calories and yet veganfags will call me an omnivore and unhealthy and immoral because I eat some fish and cheese a couple times a week.
>the doctor told me I need to eat more carrots.

Also the vegan who made that is letting her child get nutritional deficiencies just to feed her ego.

Getting the right substitute of salt-free butter in my baking (icings, custards) is difficult.
Although it doesn't have hormones, coconut oil has a worse fat profile than butter. They don't sale aquafaba in the store either so it's not on-hand often for the egg white replacement in meringues.
I want to be vegan but I can't seem to give up eggs and cheeses for selfish reasons

>>7620374
There are plenty of links to peer reviewed sources you double nigger
I'm not a vegan because it's a weird white supremacist moralistic ideology. Eating a mostly plant based diet is good for the body and good on the environment. assuming you have a moral superiority due to the arbitrary and impossible for a lot of people restrictions on your diet is ignorant at best and maliciously culturally imperialistic.
I hunt because in my country deer are an introduced pest and it feeds me and helps the environment. how could this possibly be morally wrong?
Because I'm not retarded

Good, maybe you'll leave. Nothing you post will convince anyone of anything. Other than your own self righteousness.
I am vegan because I want to reduce suffering on this god forsaken planet.
Nothing should be murdered because I'm hungry.
Meat eaters get mondo offended by anyone threatening their views, but I have converted a few people now and it feelsgood.

That's no excuse on /ck/ faggot. Everyone here is either drunk, a Scottish shitposter (i.e. a drunk), a tumblr-vegan or a housewise.

>>7620722
>Nothing should be murdered because I'm hungry.
Do you know how many animals die as a direct result of industrial farming techniques?
Do you know how many die indirectly?
Hell depending how you want to define murder a significant number of vegas is going to reduce the number of animals that even get a chance at life. Properly farmed animals have shit pretty good all considered.
Out of interest also what's your position on abortion? This might seem irrelevant but if we're asserting the right of fucking fish and poultry to survive it's a relevant question along with the standard 'where do you cut the line?'. Do we go down to the insect level? If so why stop there. If not then what's your minimum definition for something to have a life to be ended (i.e. 'murdered').
>>7620699
>how could this possibly be morally wrong?
Many modern vegan theories rely on treating animals as moral equals. The famous 'speciesism' bullshit goes along these lines.
Do note that they are given SOME of the same moral rights as us without any of the same moral duties. Of course even the moral rights they're given are arbitrary and only extend as far as not being eaten instead of, say, a moral right to housing, voting, protection and so on.
A lot of this half-baked ideology rests on comparisons with the mentally disabled or children but the former actually get the right to vote in most countries and both are given certain rights in terms of housing, access to land and so on.
And as that other anon says ask a vegan to explain their ideologie's compatibility with abortion. You wouldn't believe the meltdowns it causes.
>>7620722
>Nothing should be murdered because I'm hungry.
Why do all the other animals get to have all the fun?
>>7620390
>Hell half of those links focus only on the extremes of battery farming or similar. And a good number of the health studies are sticking vegans against the average diet which merely proves those who carefully watch what they eat and avoid overly processed foods (which are largely meat-based) are healthier.
This. I'd love to see a comparison of a vegan diet against an actual balanced, healthy omnivorous diet, because when it's just against 'average' you're lumping us in with all the drooling, McDonalds-twice-a-day retards.
>>7621105
Spot on anon.
Basically it comes down to this:
A tiger is my moral 'equal' despite not having the moral or intellectual capabilities I posses. Any argument claiming we give certain rights to the mentally disabled but not to, say, tigers fails to note that even the mentally disabled are smarter than they are AND that we don't give full rights to those so affected (seriously we don't give them full rights in terms of possession of dangerous substances/weapons, legal rights/duties, CC licenses etc).
And that doesn't even begin to touch on the practical issues of favouring one's own species or the utilitarian consequences of treating retarded kids like cattle. Even if you can prove we're favouring our own species unfairly there's any number of arguments for such a bias that form part of a legitimate philosophy.
Again: vegan moral/ethical theories are basically the kiddie-tier shit of shallow philosophy. Play the thought experiment of you being trapped in a cave with a human and a cow. The only solution is starvation or eating one of your two companions. Moral vegans must choose between them equally (or indeed have a 1/3rd chance to be eaten themselves). If they say 'veganism doesn't count in extreme circumstances' then clearly animals are not morally equal.
>>7621114
>This. I'd love to see a comparison of a vegan diet against an actual balanced, healthy omnivorous diet, because when it's just against 'average' you're lumping us in with all the drooling, McDonalds-twice-a-day retards.
Generally a fair comparison comes out (very) mildly in favour of veganism. We're talking a few years if you're lucky and super hardcore with your vegan shit and exersise. Even then you're granting them fancy supplements and ingredients that are massively more expensive in environmental terms particularly if the entire world wants to go vegan. Guinea pigs, rabbits, shellfish, fish, goats and chicken are kept (or eaten) by third-world communities for a reason and that reason isn't fucking tasty meat.
Africans also don't hunt monkeys for fun.
pleb
the Mt Athos diet is quite clearly the peak of foodkino and it isnt vegan
>>7621130
Or for the tl;dr version
Humans are by dint of their very ability to consider moral vegetarianism not required to adhere to it. We are not moral equals with any animal on earth as no animal on earth has a comparable moral system (or, indeed, anything we'd recognise as a moral system at all).
The only POSSIBLE exceptions are elephants and perhaps dogs though the latter is because of a shared history of co-evolution. Even in these cases we have to push the definition of moral system to extremes.
Note also vegans shut up quickly when faced with actual criticism. Much though they'd like to think otherwise they are not some sort of super-moral humans they're just smug little hipster faggots with no ability to think for themselves. When faces with arguments outside of the standard responses their copy-pastas cannot apply and they are left helpless.

Humans are an invasive species in a lot of the world. Should we go hunting and killing humans? I may be efficient to protect the planet, but pretty much everyone thinks it's unethical. Vegans feel the same way about hunting. Personally, I don't mind subsistence hunters who live off of what they kill. You do what you got to do to survive. But most people don't NEED to hunt.

You are a fucking moronic nihilist fedora tipper
>>7621130
My opinion is that animals do have rights, but like the disabled, they don't have all the rights that an able bodied human has. As such, in your (in modern times pretty absurd) example, I would eat the cow before the human, because otherwise we're all going to die anyway. But you're missing the point. Veganism is a rejection of UNNECESSARY suffering, obviously in a situation like yours, suffering is unavoidable.
>>7620271
Because I'm not a fucking faggot who needs to justify his lifestyle to everyone and tell everyone that I am a fucking vegan just to get Socially Responsible And Ethical Person points.

Their ideology IS flawed, if you don't eat meat because you just don't like it, that's perfectly fine. If you don't eat meat as some form of retarded protest then you need a reality check - you're not putting a tiniest dent on meat industry.

>>7621978
>>7621990
You've both admitted a cow has less rights than a human. Therefore discrimination against them is not speciesist. Clearly you rate them as morally inferior to humans on some level.
Why, then, deny a cow a happy life on a farm before a short and humane execution?
I am, of course, not advocating amercian style mass 'industrial' farming but you must explain to me why we can't have ethical food production and a sane diet.
Now you can claim ethical farming is unnecessary suffering but that marks you as someone who has never been on a 'proper' farm. Your average '''free range''' chicken, for example, leads a pampered lifestyle in which they do whatever they want, lay eggs and maybe are culled before old age takes them. How is that worse than never living at all? Remember that a world-wide vegan movement means all farm animals no longer have the luxury of domestication.
Do you seriously think domestication is a one-way street? In purely evolutionary terms domesticated animals (cows, chicken, sheep) are massively successful while horses have lost out due to industrial advances.
Hell you work for a pitiful wage until old age while the rich benefit. You're basically a 'free range' human who is happily ignorant of his true condition.
Finally you've dodged the harder questions.
Is it fair to keep animals as pets? What about keeping them out of 'your' land? Surely this is, to a degree, unnecessary suffering. It might be less than the 'suffering' of death and consumption but you are still enforcing it. Once you open up your house and garden to all animals maybe we can talk about unnecessary suffering.
>>7622064
Plants 'takes' land from animals and hurts a great many smaller animals during the harvesting process not to mention preventing them from eating the crops.
It's only degrees of 'harm' or 'suffering'. If we're going to start treating animals as moral equals why is it fine to force them off their lands to grow your shitty beans or build your massive apartments? This is still 'suffering' just not 'murder'.
>>7622059
Vegans have never lived with the reality of farming. Nobody who has thinks animals are even mildly comparable to humans.
Anyone who has been near shellfish or poultry will tell you they are fucking dumb and will happily love the 'farmed' life.
Again lets compare, say, dogs to humans. You'd surely give a human the right to choose to live or not if in extreme pain (lets say due to cancer).
Would you allow a dog to choose? A dog would ALWAYS choose life no matter how short and painful.
Animals are fucking dumb in comparison to humans. Treated ethically (this is key) they actually benefit from being farmed or kept as pets. In the UK, for example, there is a significant argument for eating horses to keep them treated well in later life rather than the current situation in which they are abandoned.
>>7622079
>you've both admitted a cow has less rights than a human

How fucking dense are you that you can't understand such a simple concept? Is pretending to be as oblivious as possible some form of intellectual argument?
>>7622119
So you believe a cow has the same rights as a human?
Should cows vote?
>>7621990
>Veganism is a rejection of UNNECESSARY suffering, obviously in a situation like yours, suffering is unavoidable.
So why is milking a cow or eating the eggs of a chicken 'unnecessary suffering'? By all accounts cows and chicken kept for such purposes lead a (comparatively) luxurious life and, as any farmer will tell you, don't care shit about their milk/eggs. Now you can, of course, claim eggs are 'potential chickens' or milk is 'baby cow food' but I'll easily point to abortion and ask you to explain that inconsistency.
Compare this to cows and chicken left to run free without human intervention. Unless you intend to keep sanctuaries with cows and chicken at the same population levels as now you've surely caused unnecessary suffering.
>>7622141
Saying whether or not a cow should vote which would be completely dependent on their capacity to even understand such a concept has absolutely no relativity to whether or not they should be farmed
Is there any other mind numbing retarded questions that you would like to ask?
Should I eat you since you have the intelligence of a fucking coconut?
>>7622146
>Saying whether or not a cow should vote which would be completely dependent on their capacity to even understand such a concept
So you want us to accept that:
1. Cows have the same rights as humans
2. Except they can't understand the same concepts as humans
3. So you don't think they should have the same rights as humans.
That's confusing.
>has absolutely no relativity to whether or not they should be farmed
The entire question is whether we should farm animals, or extend them the same rights as humans. You're claiming they should have the same rights, although also at the same time admitting that they shouldn't. Which is it, please?
>>7622145
Many cows and chickens are treated poorly and kept in horrible conditions to extract eggs and dairy products
>by all accounts
No, it's not by all accounts. You keep giving this absolute bullshit narrative you're some educated farmboy.
>I'll easily point to abortion
Well we're not talking about abortion and no one has brought up any abortion stances
>without human intervention
Human intervention doesn't have to mean raping cows and chickens for food
The mass slaughter and abuse of countless animals for centuries does not justify it to be a permanent thing

>>7622151

You intentionally and continuously being retarded is completely irrelevant to anything we're discussing
>or extend the same rights as humans
No, it's been almost all about moral rights.
>you're claiming they should have the same rights
Like I've said a dozen times already. They should not be slaughtered
You are a literal fucking retard. Do you have any idea how absolutely absurd your slippery slope strawman argument is?
Probably not since you're literally autistic
>>7622132
>It still takes far less than animal agriculture as you are not just taking land for that but also land to feed them with the food they are provided
If you're talking about farming cows in deserts in the USA i'd agree but that's an extreme case. Once you can easily grow AND harvest fucking beans on the side of, say, a Scottish mountain during winter feel free to come back to me on the 'land to feed' meat. And again you still have to account for the costs of shipping vegan foods around the world in massive amounts. This is not easy.
>How fucking dense are you that you can't understand such a simple concept? Is pretending to be as oblivious as possible some form of intellectual argument?
You clearly understand little-nothing about farming (common with vegans). Organic farms, for example, rely heavily on animal products as fertiliser. If we are to go for vegan food production only the investment in chemical fertilisers and pesticides will be massive.
Look into, say, crop rotation. Growing fodder is important every now and then and fodder is fucking worthless if not fed to animals. Do you expect humans to eat grass? If we're going to replace it with artificial fertilisers we'll need massive investment in the relevant industries or we'll need to accept farmland being worthless 1/4 of the time etc. Certainly 'organic' farming is heavily reliant on animals.
Comparing the truly idiotic practices of American ranches with vegan food is a bullshit argument. Compare sustainable farming with it and you'll see the inferiority of vegan-only methods. It is simply impractical.
>>7622153
>Many cows and chickens are treated poorly
But not all. Yet vegans lump the ones that are treated well and live comfortably into the same basket and then act as though they're all at the extreme end of the scale, when that's patently false.
>>7622160
>I want you to accept that they should not be slaughtered
Why? On what basis should I accept that?
>No, it's been almost all about moral rights.
So a cow should have the same moral rights as a human?
Can you define these moral rights? Should cows have the right to own property, for example?
>>7622162
>once you can easily grow and harvest fucking beans
Luckily most people unlike yourself have actually evolved to make sure things like this are not an issue. Things including not being entirely reliant upon beans
>and again you still have to account the costs for shipping vegan foods
It is no different than the costs of pollution, environmental damage, and shipping meat and dairy around the world as a result of animal agriculture. This is a stupid discussion and you are a very stupid person
>you clearly understand little nothing about farming
Obviously not since you seem to be under the impression that most forms of farming are completely cheery and luxurious.
Vegan does not mean organic, you're still entirely ignoring all the feed provided to animals like cows which includes plants
>if not fed to animals
That's not the only thing being fed to them you absolute fucking retard
Go fucking kill yourself
>>7622153
>Many cows and chickens are treated poorly and kept in horrible conditions to extract eggs and dairy products
Many vegans have poor nutrition and end up with unhealthy kids. You can't use extremes as examples faggot.
>No, it's not by all accounts. You keep giving this absolute bullshit narrative you're some educated farmboy.
Nigger chickens can function fine without their head (i.e. brains). They are not comparable to humans in any way, shape or form. Cows are also fucking stupid and frankly herbivores being inferior to omnivores is established fact in evolution.
>Well we're not talking about abortion and no one has brought up any abortion stances
That doesn't let you weasel out of it. You must give an account of abortion consistent with your vegan ideology. If you cannot you are merely basing shit on 'muh cute lambs' rather than consistent ideology.
>Human intervention doesn't have to mean raping cows and chickens for food
In what way is it rape? Correctly farmed cows and chickens lead luxurious lives and have a quick death in the prime of their life. That's better than many humans get.
>The mass slaughter and abuse of countless animals for centuries does not justify it to be a permanent thing
Slaughter of animals =/= slaugher of sapient (note not merely sentient but sapient) beings. 'Abuse' needs justification.
If push comes to shove you'll value a human life over that of a cow. Clearly you accept that sapience > sentience. Rhetorical bullshit (i.e. baseless assertions of 'abuse' or 'rape') doesn't count for shit.
>>7622163
>but not all
No. Just most, the rest are still viciously slaughtered, but it's okay. The fact we basically harvest them to begin with and rob them of any natural form of life makes this okay!!
>>7622170
>on what basis should I accept that
Because killing is wrong you absolute fucking retard
>so a cow should have the same moral rights as a human
Again, a cow should not be slaughtered
Is all that cow fat you've been slobbering in your fat fucking face clogging your brain
Why do you continue to think that strawman is an effective argument? It makes you appear more mentally deficient than you already are.
>>7622156
>If you think being crammed into a closet is and pipe fed rubbish is luxury, I'll be happy to provide you a luxurious life.
Factory farms do not provide an argument against ethical farming. Certainly they don't explain why milk, eggs, cheese etc are not acceptable.

>>7622189
>Because killing is wrong
Killing other species is wrong? Okay. Do you use bleach, or anti-bacterial cleaners? Have you ever taken antibiotics?
>Again, a cow should not be slaughtered
Why not? You can't just say "It's wrong" without a justification. Or can you?
I say it's okay. I'll say it without justification. I guess I win.
>>7622189
>Because killing is wrong
So you're saying mass murderers should be instead pampered, fed, clothed and kept warm for a lifetime?
Animals kill eachother to eat, are they evil?

>>7622186
Humans are very sophisticated (so far as we can tell) animals with complex habits who exist in a universe. All things that take place in said universe are therefore 'natural'. Just because you perceive deliberation and choice regarding the consumption of animal products does not make anything about it 'unnatural'. A chicken or a cow on a farm is as natural as an asteroid whirling through space.
You dumb kids
>>7622184
>many vegans have poor noturtion and end up with unhealthy kids
The thing is here, that's actually not true, it is pretty clear many cows and chickens are treated horribly. It's not using an extreme as an example when it's the fucking norm you retard
This is coming from the same person siding with someone equivocating not slaughtering something as giving them voting rights
>durrr chickens and cows are dumb
So are you. So go slaughter yourself
>that doesn't let you weasel out of it
Yes it does. You brought it up as an "inconsistency" when no one mentioned it and began bringing up points no one was talking about

What do you mean in what way? Are you even remotely aware of any farming practices?
>correctly
Too bad this is not a norm

You could argue with efficiency. Growing meat consumes way more resources than for example vegetables. As a matter of fact it is impossible for every living human to eat as much meat as an US citizen right now could.
Artificial meat will probably solve this. It cannot come fast enough even if only to stop these shitposting threads like this one.

>>7622178
>Luckily most people unlike yourself have actually evolved to make sure things like this are not an issue. Things including not being entirely reliant upon beans
Come back to me once you can grow vegan food on the side of a mountain which is as often as not covered in snow. Even when it isn't the shitty plants are useful only for feeding sheep.
While we're at it lets look at places like St Kilda. I'm sure they could replace their sheep and bird-eggs with fucking legumes on a rock in the middle of nowhere.
You cannot compare the extremes of inefficient US farming to the world as a whole.
>It is no different than the costs of pollution, environmental damage, and shipping meat and dairy around the world as a result of animal agriculture. This is a stupid discussion and you are a very stupid person
You can farm some form of animal almost anywhere. You cannot grow sufficient vegan food in most of the world. You clearly do not understand things like crop rotation or fertilisation either. Baseless claims of me being a 'stupid person' have no relevance.
>Obviously not since you seem to be under the impression that most forms of farming are completely cheery and luxurious.
Never said that.
>Vegan does not mean organic, you're still entirely ignoring all the feed provided to animals like cows which includes plants
Cows are the least efficient animals so using them as an example is unfair. Again sheep or goats can be reared on land that is otherwise unusable. Chicken can live off fucking nothing. Pigs can be fed on leftovers alone. Rabbits, guinea pigs etc cam be bread in tiny areas.
You cannot extend inefficient American farming practices to the entire world.
And again non-organic farming requires mass production of fertilisers. Look up crop rotation.
>That's not the only thing being fed to them you absolute fucking retard
Again cherry-picking shitty american practices of mass producing beef for a shitty diet.

'Unnatural' does not really make sense in the context of morality.
>>7622244
>>7622245
I would argue that killing has no positive or negative value and is just something that can happen. As sentient beings in a community we have applied a negative value to killing because we want to live. That doesn't mean it's inherently negative. You can arbitrarily feel good or bad about anything in the universe. Hence that one native tribe in Papua New Guinea that forces little boys to suck off their elders. As a collective we find that abhorrent in the western world but the universe doesn't have much to say about it.
>>7622258

>>7622258

It was totally normal to stone women who were found to be guilty of cheating a few hundred years ago. That was considered moral. If morality is static, then it would still be acceptable today (ignoring crazy Muslims in the Middle East).

>No. Just most, the rest are still viciously slaughtered, but it's okay.
Rhetorical bullshit unless you can prove all farming of animals is wrong.
>he fact we basically harvest them to begin with and rob them of any natural form of life makes this okay!!
What is 'natural' has no bearing on what is 'right'. Even IF it did you can see very basic herd management practices among species other than humans.
>>7622271
where did i say or even imply murder was acceptable?
morality IS subjective. there's things that everyone agrees on, like murder and rape and whatnot, but even then, some people don't give a shit or believe it
morality IS subjective whether you like it or not; to think that means 'LOL I GUESS ANYTHING GOES' makes you more of the 11 year old than i
>>7622263
>You know the line
Well apparently the line I know (it's okay to kill & eat other animals, as long as they're well treated and cared for) isn't the line you know (it isn't).
So if I "know the line" what are you arguing with me about? It's okay to eat meat. You just told me it is.
>Bivalves have preganglia
Which in absolutely no way, at all, makes them the slightest bit sentient. So like I said, is it okay to chow down in a nice pan-seared scallop? Maybe with a bit of black pudding, if the blood was given willingly and with full consent?
I mean if you're going to argue from a point of moral superiority it's usually sensible to know where your high ground it. You seem to be stood in a watery ditch and shouting at everyone else about how damp your ankles are.
>>7622278
You're confusing morality with community values breh. An evil act doesn't become more or less wrong over time.
I'll just invalidate the vegans' retarded viewpoint with an old saying:

>>7622189
>Because killing is wrong you absolute fucking retard
Why? Even if you can prove killing another sapient being is inherently wrong (good luck) that hardly applies to species that are merely sentient.
>Again, a cow should not be slaughtered
A cow shouldn't be killed because a cow shouldn't be killed? Nice argument.
>Why do you continue to think that strawman is an effective argument? It makes you appear more mentally deficient than you already are.
It is not a strawman. You must explain why we extend certain rights to cows (not being eaten) but not other rights (housing, welfare, voting). Stopping it at eating them is arbitrary.

It's the norm nowadays in certain countries perhaps. Still gives you no basis for a moral judgement. If we're going to go down the route of moral consequences you're also fucked as vegan (utilitarianism benefits farming believe me).
>This is coming from the same person siding with someone equivocating not slaughtering something as giving them voting rights
Explain why you cut the rights of cows off at not being eaten without being arbitrary.
>So are you. So go slaughter yourself
Sapient =/= sentient. Feel free to prove me wrong on that point.
>Yes it does. You brought it up as an "inconsistency" when no one mentioned it and began bringing up points no one was talking about
You must explain the arbitrary judgement not me.
>What do you mean in what way? Are you even remotely aware of any farming practices?
Are you? Rape hardly applies to non-sapient species either. Unless you wish to start trying male cats or dogs for 'rape' in court you've got no basis for a judgement. And again why give them the right not to be killed but not the right not to be 'raped'?

What proof do you need? It's called being a human being with a healthy mental state?

Because it is sentient life
Should you be killed simply because I want to eat you and I'm a fat fuck with zero control?
>it is not a strawman
Yes it is, you are entirely misinterpreting the argument, and bringing up completely irrelevant points. Whether or not cows should be killed has nothing to do with whether or not they should vote. You literally have to be 3 years old to not understand this concept
You are a fucking retard
>>7622320
>What makes killing them okay?
Because humans are capable of digesting the fats and proteins and their meat happens to be calorie dense. Humans also tend to like the taste. Finally, as other animals are not the same species, there's no moral justification not too: animals higher up the food chain kill and consume animals lower on the food chain regularly, and humans are at the top of the food chain.
>No I didn't
You told me I "know where the line is". Well, I know it's okay to kill and eat animals. So apparently, according to you (I "know where the line is", remember) it's just fine. Thanks for the validation.

Sentient =/= sapient for a start. And from where do you pull such an absolute rule out of your ass?
Is it wrong to kill a rabid dog to save a child? That is ending a sentient life to save a sapient one. Feel free to extend that to killing a rabid dog to save another dog etc etc. Hell is it wrong to kill a human in self-defence? That's killing a sapient never mind a sentient.

>>7622407
You're a fucking idiot
>>7622415
are you pic related??
>>7622407
Please compare a cow and bacteria and tell me that they are exactly the same
That's right, your failures of parents obviously didn't raise you right so you have a twisted moral compass
>>7622408
>I have literally addressed the issue multiple times
no you haven't, you've deflected and gone 'not my problem'
>FATTTTTTTTTT
again, everyone is fat when you're a fucking skeleton. eat a ham sandwich nigger
>strawman
not him but WEW LAD
HAVE SOME SELF AWARENESS :')
ps, address >>7622396 with your literal memescience please
>>7622417
do some fucking research if you claim to care so much about the people who grow your precious quinoa
they are objectively worse off in the majority of cases
>>7622421
yeah actually.
shit why did people cap that
Because I enjoy eating things that Vegans don't.
Shaming it only makes you look like a dick.
>>7622422
>Please compare a cow and bacteria and tell me that they are exactly the same
I just did.
>so you have a twisted moral compass
I guess.
That doesn't make my argument any less valid.
Sometimes in the real world, you'll run into people who have clashing worldviews.
>>7622418
We have digestive systems that are synonymous with a herbivore
We are entirely and sufficiently capable of being vegan
What's so hard to understand? Am I triggering you for revealing you as the fat shithead you are?
>>7622417
>This is not proven
Sorry, can I just check: you want proof that bivalves *are sentient*? Yet you offer no proof of your own that they are? And you realise that declaring bivalves sentient would place plants worryingly close to an incredibly thin line of what is and isn't "sentient"?
Once again, I am both not surprised and astonished at the complete and utter lack of scientific literacy amongst vegans.
>>7622427
Yes I have.
Bacteria is not a chimp
Bacteria is not life in the same way a chimp or cow is
THINKING IS HARD DURRRRRRRRRRR
Please fucking end your obviously worthless life. You have the mental capacity of a fucking blade of grass
>>7622422
>kill yourself
>you're fat
>fuck you retard
>your parents didn't raise you right
vegans, everyone
such better, nicer people for not eating meat
>>7622432
>We are entirely and sufficiently capable of being vegan
again, so selfish. some people would literally die by doing so
>>7622433
>virgin
nice projecting. i can show you my engagement ring if you'd like, you lonely, bitter, girlfriendless fuck
>>7622432
>We are entirely and sufficiently capable of being vegan
And why should we?
I enjoy the taste of meat, if you feel strongly about it, again, try to stop me.
>>7622431
>I just did
No you didn't. You simply said they were the same and ignored basic biological and observable differences
>>7622437
>can't even keep track of the different people he's talking to
wew lad
i'm not him
you haven't addressed the issue of 3rd world countries or american migrant workers, and have only gone 'NOT MY PROBLEM, LOL GVMNT'
>>7622439
Because it's wrong
>>7622445
>observable differences
A platypus looks like a mammal, yet it lays eggs.
And biologically, all life is the same, it strives to breed and spread.
>>7622453
you say it's wrong
literal billions of other people say otherwise
>>7622453
>Because it's wrong
Then stop me, do you think bolshevik revolution could have happened if someone cried about it loud enough on newspapers?
Nothing in the world is done without physical force.
>>7622446
I'm a female working and going to school full time and am not a virgin.
>>7622446
Yeah What's wrong with 3rd world countries?
>>7622305
>Come back to me when you can live on animals solely
>Strawman
Nobody claimed that.
>This is a stupid argument. We as a society today are completely capable of living a vegan lifestyle
Maybe in the USA if you ship in food and mass produce certain supplements. Believe it or not USA =/= the world.
>Your dissatisfaction with these areas go far beyond just living a vegan lifestyle and have vast economic implications
Non vegan-friendly climates are going to need a lot of cash to pay for importing food anon. We're taking butter, eggs and milk out of the equation not to mention leather, wool and suchlike.
>Completely false
Grow vegan food in the Scottish highlands. You can't even run tractors up the smaller hills.
>and irrelevant to our modern day situation
Only if we inefficiently ship food around the world.
>You basically did
Nope. Strawman pure and simple.
>And they still get fed a lot of crops
Still cherry-picking. Cows farmed in fucking desert are an extreme example and again USA =/= the world.
>You can extend veganism though. You seem to be under the impression every single place sticks to their single place and would only eat fucking beans
Shipping food around the world costs and properly farmed meat is efficient. Pigs eat useless left-overs, sheep and chicken turn useless farmland or crop-rotation fodder into food etc.
And again a varied vegan diet is inefficient. Just because you can buy shit from dickfuckistan in your posh little urban market doesn't mean shit all.
>No hunter or gatherer ever stayed in one place for their food, that's stupid, and no one does that today
Moving a few miles within the same climate isn't comparable to shipping food halfway across the world. And hunter-gathering was abandoned for a reason. Feel free to return to that lifestyle but good luck shitposting on 4chan.
>Cherrypicking
You're talking about a pie in the sky ideal vegan world. Why can we not discuss a 'perfect' omnivore situation?
>>7622459
>>7622421
haha this aspie BTFOs the most common study that vegans try to use to say meat is bad for you in that thread
>>7622415
biochem masters here again. I appreciate what u do phys chem man, I don't have the stomach for it. you're doin gods work tho
memescience and social "science" is ruining the 1st world. cant get mad at vegans though, they're a symptom not a cause
>>7622465
>And hunter-gathering was abandoned for a reason
Yes it was abandoned in favor of animal husbandry and agriculture, permament settlements and trade. What is your point exactly?
>>7622379
The issue is not US centric. It applies to every developed country. It is impossible for every human to consume as much meat as those countries do. It only works now because the others just don't or can't.
The moral argument with artificial meat goes as follows:
If you can eat meat without killing then there is no reason to kill.
>>7622461
with the agriculture that goes in on many 3rd world countries that produce crops for 1st world countries, they're left fairly poor but still able to sustain themselves with what they've grown and also generally make ~enough money
being forced to shift into growing shit like quinoa, the people growing eat gain no real nutrition from what they're growing and generally receive even less than what they were making before
thus, they end up starving
but vegans don't care, it's not their problem, it's the government's :')
>>7622438
>again, so selfish. some people would literally die by doing so
lol. "Some people in third world countries would die if they tried going vegan so you're selfish for suggesting people who aren't in those situations stop torturing animals for no reason at fucking all."
And I'm a female, working and going to school full time, and am not a virgin.
>>7622310
>Killing animals is wrong. That's pretty simple enough. Animal agriculture is environmentally harmful.
Killing animals is wrong because killing animals is wrong. It's the circular vegan game! Hell even killing humans (sapients) being inherently wrong cannot be proven but good luck with mere sentients.
>You can't disprove the claim either. Your bullshit is just as rhetorical
Shall we bring up the human and cow in the cave again? Regardless the burden of proof is on the vegans here.
>You're focusing on the semantics of natural, rhetorical bullshit
Empty words without an actual argument. Natural = good was brought up by the vegan.
>>7622468
thanks. you read fat of the land? its what got me looking into the nutritional science field. I'm sure you're more familiar with the shit methodology standards they keep, being in biochem and all. I really wish things like JSTOR were publicly available so there would be no reason for threads like this. if u try though they'll drive you to suicide for inventing reddit lol
>>7622477
>And I'm a female
It shows, you choose to ignore points because MUH FEELINGS instead of coldly present your arguments and refute countearguments.
>>7622473
>If you can eat meat without killing then there is no reason to kill.
well sure but artificial meat is a long way's off
and then there's fishing
>>7622477
they would
>I'M A GRILL
well yeah i kind of figured that out by the crazy bitch sjw vegan nonsense
and if you're a girl then you'd give a shit about other woman with iron deficiencies but apparently you don't care about that either so long as you get your precious kale and quinoa salad
but you're certainly a virgin, most people wouldn't be able to stand your screaming at them about how awful they are
>>7622483
Sexist
>>7622489
You bet, now doubletime it to the kitchen and make me a sandwich.
>>7622483
No I actually literally don't have time. Finals are coming up, I just moved out of an abusive situation, I'm currently working RIGHT NOW and shouldn't even be responding at all. It would take a year to address all the bullshit in this thread. And seriously, I haven't even read it because I don't want to have an aneurysm trying to wrap my head around why we don't currently have a eugenics program with all the retards on the internet.
>>7622479
yeah, and I can't believe you're the one defending muh owlsey. luv u
These retards are all arguing on moral predicates too. its just goofy
>killing animals is wrong
>no its not
>yes it is
>all meat is bad for you (false evidence cited)
>no its not (no evidence cited)
ad nauseum
>>7622494
>No I actually literally don't have time.
You spent fucking hours in this thread, time is the one thing you have plenty. Good luck with your women's studies/Liberal Arts.
>>7622489
homophobe
>>7622496
haha now its devolved into
>uhm excuse me UR sexist (with no evidence)
>baits out intentionally sexist response
>cycle continues
