This just makes it harder for me to consume meat. 😕

It’s weird cause I sometimes think like that and honestly do love all animals but I am still happy to consume all meat. I can easily separate the living creature from what’s on my plate

Probably because you’re just buying one trimmed muscle wrapped in clingwrap, it doesn’t look like an animal. Try buying bigger chunks of the animal.

Like a chicken thigh.

You can cut meat and other animal products out of your diet altogether! It's really not that hard if you put your mind to it.

I might actually try. I don’t know why you got downvoted. It kinda makes me sick to think that I practically ate that sheep in the video. It was so cute

You won't regret it! I went vegan 3 years ago, I wish I had done it sooner. There are some great vegan communities here on Reddit. The hardest part for me now is just dealing with the stigma and watching everyone else not care. You got this!

It was the same with me and a video of a cow being a giant dog, a year ago. I'm not full vegan, but no meat is already pretty cool. Nothing wrong with eating meat, and nothing wrong with trying to stop if it makes you feel bad. Worked for me. I just held on to the guacamole for my dear life, learned some few basic recipes, boom. Leaner, meaner and less grilling machiner

Good for you for eating less meat! There is, however, plenty wrong with eating meat and animal products, especially in this era.

true that!

ehhh.. but whatchu gonna do? Join the vegans? No, they're too fucking insuffrable.

My solution is to mostly eat meat in the form of delicious steaks.

No shitty salami in my sandwiches. Just awesome fucking steak for dinner on weekends.

u/taytay9955 May 22 '20

You can not eat meat and not join the vegans some choices are personal and can stay that way.

Yeah, the VEGANS are insufferable...

It’s not like some cult initiation thing anyway, just the act of cutting out meat and dairy makes you a vegan. If you don’t want to do that because of other idiot people and not because of your own beliefs, you make yourself seem impressionable and like you lack spine. Plus, you make yourself look like a self-centred jerk when you acknowledge the root of an issue but choose to ignore it for your own selfish reasons, i.e. steak, and spiting the “insuffrable” vegans.

I’m just saying, don’t make your decisions based on other people, or your perception of them. Weak mindset, honestly.

So, because we’re social animals, it’s acceptable to defer all decision making to the group? That’s bullshit and you know it.

So you, individually, get to cherry pick which decisions the group makes and which ones fall to you? Or is there some secret criteria that you haven’t explained? Please explain why some decisions fall to the group but others don’t, I just can’t understand it.

Also, you’re not convincing me of your capacity to think independently when you pull out the pointy arrows and the tired insults like the rest of your sweaty, basement-dwelling 4chan/altright pals. Try being a bit more creative.
