    Yeah, they’re always outside the Steakhouse picketing. Running at me constantly with a fork full of green vegetables.

    THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE IN REAL LIFE.

      This is the sarcasm we deserve.

      I’ve known plenty of vegans and not once have I seen them “try to force it into others”… Outside of internet rage baiting crazies.

      …Now the religious on the other hand, I have first hand experience with.

        The worst force a vegan ever deployed against me was… a disapproving face and some statement of disagreement. I guess some people can‘t take even the slightest disagreement in their life.

      You joke, but there have been cases of steakhouses and butcher shops having troubles with protestors. It’s not an everyday thing, but we are talking about a small, crazy portion of an already fringe group.

          …that is a profoundly stupid way to look at it, you cannot exist without hurting something or someone, your mere existence causes pain to some people, and they’d much rather you stop existing, are you going to oblige them too? To define pain and suffering as unacceptable in all forms is to deny reality.

            Nice ableism. No one is forcing you to support the rape and murder of sentient beings so you can put their corpses in your mouth. You can choose not to do it, don’t pretend your hands are tied

              No, we can’t, we’re omnivores, while you can survive on plant-based sources of protein, in the long term, it causes problems. Getting the right nutrients is difficult and expensive, even in the short-term, meaning that you have to be profoundly privileged to do it, so technically, you’re classist.

              And you didn’t answer my question, what about all the other suffering you support? People who suffer so that you can be comfortable, everyone from the avocado farmers and factory workers to the bugs/animals that get poisoned by various pesticides? How is their pain ok, while the cows’ pain is unacceptable? Do you understand that you can’t exist without causing some pain and discomfort, somewhere to something?? The only reason you have a problem with eating meat is because that is right in front of you.

                  I mean, yes, you’re hypocrites, I’m glad you agree with me. So long acknowledge it, and don’t bother me, I don’t care what you do.

                    I’m so glad you care so much about the suffering of bugs! Heartwarming. Maybe one day you’ll actually care about the suffering of cows, pigs and chickens too.

                    You don’t want to comment on the extremely well-sourced post above this one? Strange! BTW, if you’re so worried about the welfare of avocado farmers, maybe you should also be worried about the welfare of slaughterhouse workers, many of whom develop PTSD from killing the animals needed for your le steak and bacon.
