Comment

Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle.

And I’m saying the vegan that tells others how to live their lives is as fictional as the god who damns sinners to hell. Even the weird publicity stunts by PETA are just to raise awareness of the issue.

And the moral implications are totally relevant as they completely explain the reasoning of someone who would care if you ate a steak, the question your original comment asks.

Okay. You’re entitled to that take, and I’m simply just stating mine.

And that is- The reason for either side’s justification is irrelevant. Just leave people alone to do their own thing. If they want to know about the other side’s cause, they’ll look into it themselves. It’s 2025. The info is out there in spades.

Maybe let’s care less about what others eat, as it’s not our business unless asked, and care more about what we ourselves can do to make things better.

  Youre entitled to your opinion, but the argument in itself is not a valid one. Not caring about what other people do has is called anarchy. How would you rate the same argument with other context?
  “Lets care less about who others kill?” (that ones actually pretty similar now that im writing it^^)
  “Lets care less about who others spit on?”
  “Lets care less about when your neighbors blast their music at 130dB”
  
  Imagine those in a context where there were no laws regulating those actions yet. Someone had to step up and start demanding we regulate behavior and establish rules for generally accepted behavior. Those rules are constantly changing and they should. We need to adjust to new information as we go on. Making animals suffer for our convenience is something many people consider immoral and sometimes people point out when other do immoral things.

    Are you people capable of arguing without using false equivalencies?
    
    I made my point that people shouldn’t tell others what to do with their diets, and you’re here to be a perfect example of my point.
    
    Thanks?
    
    But like I told the other person doing the same thing, I don’t argue with people who bring false equivalence to a conversation to derail the meaning of my own point.
    
    Enjoy your evening.
