  You avoid an avoidable luxury, yet you do not avoid something unavoidable that’s necessary. Curious.

    exploitation is a fact of life. why is it unacceptable to exploit bees for their honey, but it’s fine to kill billions of yeasts to make bread?

      Although yeast is technically living, it’s more similar to bacteria than animals or other living creatures. It doesn’t feel pain and isn’t a sentient being - there is absolutely no reason not to consume yeast or foods made with yeast.

        Insects and other animals were not (and are still not in all cases) always considered sentient or capable of feeling pain. When it comes to other life forms, the fact is we have no idea how they experience the world. They are way too different from us. That doesn’t automatically make them less alive or less valuable.

  Because cockroaches are considered harmful to humans, some people just can’t leave cockroaches alone and live correctly.

    some people can’t be around peanuts. or bees for that matter

      And we have to respect the peanuts’ right to be everywhere, right?

      Peanuts and bees usually don’t invade your home. And if they did, some would argue it’s acceptable to get rid of them. I’m pretty sure you can figure this out.

        some would argue that eating honey is not immoral

  Heh, nice try at having standards but since it is impossible to not harm anything then obviously possibly harming for pleasure is fine. Checkmate loser.

  Now I am going to depict you as the crying wojack and me as the handsome wojack.
