or because they recognized how lazy and dismissive your response was, and they don’t care to be patronized.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
no, I didn’t
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
no one ever demanded you justify your decision to eat plants
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
It’s not an interesting debate.
so don’t engage, but don’t pretend you’ve rebutted anything.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
you’re not engaging with the other person at all. you’re treating them like they are a child to be taught. you have no idea whether they’ve seen these arguments before. you just threw a link at them.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t say anything about you rebutting your decisions. I’m talking about you’re response to someone’s own decisions.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
this has to be the height of intellectual laziness and bad faith. you’re not actually engaging with the person who typed the comment at all.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
putting a phrase on a vegan bingo card is insufficient to rebutt the argument.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
the plant-based food industry may have grown, but so has the meat industry. it increases year over year, and whatever excuse you may have, being vegan hasn’t stopped that.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
if being vegan made a difference this might be true.
- Comment on Why Should I... 2 weeks ago:
i present the math below
- Comment on Why Should I... 2 weeks ago:
yes, I have considered that. and every source I can find puts dairy cows at about 3 years of production, calving for the first time at about 2 years old.
- Comment on Why Should I... 2 weeks ago:
it’s possible your operation was not average, and most dairy cows only live 5 years.
anecdotes are not data.
- Comment on Why Should I... 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
cows don’t naturally live to 20 years. they can live that long if they are well fed and watered and protected from disease, predators, and the environment. that’s an artificial life span.
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
hardly any dairy calves end up as veal.
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
a dairy cows life span is like 5 years
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
most dairy calves are brought to full weight before slaughter.
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
most dairy calves are brought to full weight before slaughter, and the life span of a dairy cow is about 5 years.

- Comment on Fascism bad. 6 months ago:
the “name the trait” argument is so well known vegans just call it “ntt”. they’re not here in good faith; they think they have a gotcha.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 6 months ago:
it takes MUCH more plants to feed animals to then feed humans.
most of the plants fed to animals are parts of plants we can’t or won’t eat. a great example is soy: we run over 4/5 of the global crop through an oil press and extract what we want, and feed the leftover plant matter to animals. no more plants are harmed in this process, and we conserve resources by getting food back from the animals.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 6 months ago:
And yes, it’s ok to kill plants because they do not feel pain
you can’t prove this
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 10 months ago:
otherwise it would be waste after we press the soybean for oil
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 10 months ago:
we already feed people soy. but we make a lot more than people want to eat. feeding it to livestock is a conservation of resources
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 10 months ago:
if we don’t plant soybeans, we won’t get soybean oil
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 10 months ago:
these papers are years-old. I’ve read them.
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 10 months ago:
Their ‘reactions’ to being cut, like the smell of cut grass, are chemical reactions. Not feelings or desires.
all neurological responses are chemical response. you don’t know if a plant might experience this like emotions
