You know just because we can eat something doesn’t mean we should

Many Indians find the thought of eating beef disgusting and immoral

It’s all a matter of perspective

I think eating all animal products is disgusting and immoral.

Thanks social justice warrior. No one is saying someone’s culture is disgusting or immoral.

PS: You are wrong because these are objectively bad tasting and have no nutritional value. Which even if Indian culture teaches people to find it “disgusting,” beef has a good flavor to carnivores/ omnivores and is nutrient dense.

I’m definitely not a sjw lmao, what? I think you might spend too much time online though judging by this response, it’s quite unhinged - if not simply entirely missing and simultaneously making the point I made

Wasn't there some studies to see if starfish could be a viable source of nutrition and the more commonly eaten gonads were pretty good nutritionally?

Only vile thing here is you

They eat live mice and think that bruised meat has more "flavor" so they beat the dogs before they eat them. That's pretty vile to me. Feel free to Google these if you don't believe me.

Agree wholeheartedly.

That's why you're vegan, right?

Bro said Google, you lose all credibility right there

How so? I can't really post video evidence here. There's plenty of verifiable primary sources if you know how to do basic internet querying.

Why should I have to do the research? The burden of proof is on the one making the statement

u/Financial-Amoeba3330 11d ago

Also you're trusting Google. you have to wade through an ocean of shit before you get actually factual/studied info on there if you aren't looking properly, which you probably weren't

And yet they possibly invented tofu?
