  Also the environmental impacts. I don’t own a huge polluting coal powerplant that is actively contributing to fucking up the planet that I live on, and as such I’m still allowed to criticise them. Why should the meat industry be any different?

  As I already stated, I’m not getting baited into a morality debate.

  If you don’t like eating meat- don’t eat it, but leave others alone about. It’s not your business what they choose to eat.

  This isn’t about beating kids, or raping children, and I don’t appreciate the disgusting false equivalency you feel you need to use in order to make a point.

  So here’s an actual equivalency:

  Imagine people going around and telling you that you have to do something you don’t want to do because of their belief. Like for instance….

  forced birth.

  This is simply a dietary version of pro choice. You should be free to eat how you feel you need to in order to satisfy your needs, as well as your moral code- provided it remains within the limits of the law. EVERYONE should have this freedom. Even if you or I don’t like it.

  So maybe leave people alone about it and put that energy towards something that has a better chance of success

    I dont understand your point. Everyone DOES have the freedom you are talking about and noone is debating that. Why are you pretending like thats not the case?

    In some areas men are allowed to best their wives. Youre still allowed to critisize them for it, and you should be allowed to.

      Yet another false equivalency. You can’t stop, can you?

        Explain please how it is not exactly the same.

    firstly, i find it funny how u insist this isnt a morality debate. but what is most interesting to me is how u say:

    You should be free to eat how you feel you need to in order to satisfy your needs, as well as your moral code- provided it remains within the limits of the law.

    so ur ok with the state and its police coming in and telling u what not to eat or to give birth, but when anyone else does it, thats no longer okay?

    seems like kind of an arbitrary position. like, what is ur actual stance on the issue? or does it always flex around whatever the law of the place ur in says?

    oh and as others have already said, if ur diet infringes on other beings right to live, u forfeit ur right to not be criticized for what u eat. imo

        u made the equivalency first.

        So instead, here’s an actual equivalency:

        forced birth.
