    We slaved colored people for ages. Woman had much less rights back in the days. We lived in caves for decades. Etc.

    Just because we have been doing something for a very long time and it is socially accepted does not automatically make it right.

      They are correct though, don’t vegans have to take suppliments to fill in on things missing from their diet? Maybe eating less meat can be a goal for humanity, but I think we still need some until lab/fake meat is yummy enough.

      Edit: now i think of it, suppliments are available so maybe my comment doesnt matter.

        If modern medicine and things like vaccines are ok, then so are supplements.

        Supplements are lower impact and less “unnatural” than animal agriculture.

        If you are thinking about B-12, that is already artificially added to meat products too. So even people who eat meat aren’t getting it the “natural” way. Now there are available plant milks fortified with it which does the same thing.

        Yes, vegans should monitor their health more closely to make sure nothing is missing, but it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to get everything you need from plant based sources.

        I think that a reduced meat diet is good for the environment but being vegan is very far in my opinion.

      comparing women to animals is what misogynists do. comparing colored people to animals is what slavers do.

        I’m not a vegan, but that’s not what they’re saying at all.

        They are comparing slavery and misogeny to the killing of animals, not the animals themselves.

          Additionally, why do people complaining about these comparisons always view it as lowering the standards for certain groups of people rather than raising the standards for animals? It’s the wrong takeaway from the comparison.
