Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong

  in the US, the only way to way ethically right now is to just die.

  • Like anywhere else is much different. You think only the US has industrial farming?

  • And there is an ethical way to eat: dumpster diving. Everything in that dumpster is already waste, and taking it does not increase demand – no store is going to order more stock because the dumpster is running low. Any food you find in the dumpster is 100% ethical to consume.

    This doesn’t hold up. For you, personally, sure. But EVERYONE couldn’t convert to dumpster diving. That’s just shitty supermarkets.

    I had this revelation about buying local. If EVERYONE “bought local”, local farms begin looking like factory farms in order to produce enough for the local population. I’m certain there would be additional inefficiencies as a result. It’s more ethical for me, personally, to get my produce locally, but I can’t in good faith criticize anyone else that buys groceries on Amazon.

    There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism.

    Dumpster diving still relies on industrial agriculture happening and doesn’t scale to more than a small portion of the population, some of whom have no other choice but to do so.

      True, but at a personal level, you can get perfectly ethical food that way, even meat.

        I don’t think that paying for it or not paying for it changes anything about the ethics of how it came to be.

    I mean I was talking about the topical issue that it seems every food is getting recalled in the US, but alright buddy.
