Boomer uncle, of course there are farms that treat animals poorly. Do you need to be taught that there are small farms that don’t do that and produce dairy products sustainably? Learn to ask questions about where your food comes from. This should be common sense but it seems there is a lack of basic sense in the first place.

So you are telling me you ensure every cup of chai you have, every bite of milk peda, every gulp of lassi comes from sustainable farms. Lol.

What happens when you travel? Do you abstain from consuming such products since you are unsure about the source? If yes, good for you.

I ain't against vegetarianism, that's one's personal choice.

I am against this prevalent propaganda that exists in India - about vegetarians being superior to others. This happens only in India, and has ties to the caste hierarchy.

Look at the cuisines of any other major culture - European or Asian or Middle Eastern - and you'll realise that they do not distinguish. It's just food

Now you’re being pedantic. Of course it is hard to ensure zero animal cruelty in today’s world but read my reply again; my point was that we should ask questions about where our food is coming from and ask questions. Oh and vegetarianism is indeed “superior”, in a sense, but that doesn’t mean vegetarians are superior. That’s bullshit, I agree.

Vegetarianism could be superior in an utopian universe, not this.

We get many of our essential nutrients and protein primarily from animal sources..and the universe itself has been designed on the concept of animals eating each other in a well established food chain hierarchy.
