Out of curiosity, how many people have you convinced to go vegan?
Comment on Those poor plants
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months agoIt is, but many vegans also do really unhelpful things that are closer to trying to berate or shame people into not eating meat and it is obviously not effective.

None. Why do I have to convince a single person to criticize an argument I don’t think is convincing?
Objection@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
Well, I guess I’m just not sure why you’re trying to give us advice about something you have zero experience with.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say that you don’t actually care what kind of approach is more convincing, and you’re just trying to tell us to shut up, or say things in a way that makes us easy to ignore.
You have no idea what you’re talking about at best, and realistically, you don’t even want us to be successful. So, thank you for your unsolicited advice on which tacts are unhelpful, but, just so you know, I will be promptly tossing it into the trash.

I have a lot of experience with people trying to convince me of things.
And you are welcome to take the advice I didn’t give to you in the first place and throw it in the trash.

You do not know the best advice for advocacy for a group without being part of it.
You say you’re supportive of vegans but then go out of your way to say the “vegan cheese is gross”

it’s possible they do
there is nothing about being vegan thatajes you suited for advocacy

I know it may be hard to believe, but my taste in food is different from yours. I would never cook with vegan cheese. There are plenty of vegan recipes out there which don’t require processed fake food.
Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Taste is not a valid argument to harm bovines and there are many different types of vegan cheeses, you cannot generalize.
There’s that antivegan language again “fake food”
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Processed fake cheese is fake food.
You don’t get it. Don’t use real cheese or fake cheese. Cook healthy things, not that processed shit.

milking a cow doesn’t harm it.
