Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
kaffiene@lemmy.world 6 months agoTreatment of animals is very much a part of the moral issue. Causing suffering is clearly a moral issue. Also there are the environmental impacts to consider.

And again . That varies quite a lot depending on where the meat comes from.
To do what you do and just drag a giant blanket over everything is incredibly ignorant.
And I’m just really over the incredible hypocrisy. Eating meat is wrong cause an animal suffered, but wearing clothes made in a Vietnamese,chineese or Bangladesh sweatshop is ok. Because that only includes human suffering and slave like conditions.

It varies yes, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is more animal suffering and environmental damage getting protein from animal sources than plants

Depends on who is farming the plants don’t you think? Not like there hasn’t been scandals about exploitation of workers in agriculture.
Not to mention environmental damage from over fertilizing and pesticides, and dumping of waste.

Not really. If you look at the data, ā pound of protein via meat is orders of magnitude worse in terms of environmental impacts. And that’s ignoring suffering.
