There is good in humanity.

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I generally find it exasperating to discuss matters within this topic with Americans, as there is a lack of acknowledgement regarding class issues. I’m sorry for the generalization, but I just don’t have the energy.

Socio-economic and class issues are more than the price of ingredients. But you are right that buying ingredients to cook a plant-based meal can be low cost.

Great argument. Again, I would love it if the reality of the matter were as you say it is. Unfortunately that is not the case, and anyone wanting to adhere to a vegan diet would be wise to do some research and plan accordingly.

Also, the more someone chooses to support animal welfare /chooses not to support the industrialized torture and exploitation of animals, the better. Everything counts.

Of course it does. How would you have written it?

It is kind of absurd that you are accosting me of lying about something so insignificant.

I don’t make it hard. I would love it, if it were easier, but unfortunately it isn’t.

It is difficult to get the adequate nutrients on a vegan diet. Research the required nutritional values for your age, gender and body type. Type the values into a nutritional application and track your food intake throughout a certain period, the longer the better. With no diet planning on a vegan diet, it is unlikely that you will get adequate nutrition.

It’s true that people who do not adhere to a vegan diet can be unhealthy. The difference is that their diet does not set them up to be unhealthy if they eat healthy ingredients and do not plan their food intake. If you are vegan, don’t plan your meals on the basis of nutritional knowledge, and only eat otherwise healthy ingredients, you are still at risk of becoming unhealthy because of malnutrition.

You come off as someone who is generally privileged and has no respect for the different barriers that people face.

I didn’t address you specifically, rather the people who downvoted.

My comment is based on science-based nutritional facts, not assumptions.

I am not coming for you. I am simply trying to have a discussion based on facts.

Instead of downvoting, I would love to hear your counter argument.

It is difficult to get adequate nutrition on a vegan diet.

It requires being able to read about nutrition and putting that knowledge into practice - which involves making meal plans that take into account the various mineral and vitamin requirements that we have in order to be healthy.

There are significant accessibility barriers when it comes to eating a healthy, vegan diet.

It is not an easy feat for the abled, and in addition there are factors such as socio-economic status and associated challenges that can make it less accessible for people.

An all or nothing stance is part of the problem though. If doing good is defined in a way that is difficult for people to achieve, they will feel like they can’t do good and give up before they started.

Anything we do to improve the lives of animals or remove some suffering does exactly that.

If you kill a cat a day going forward and your neighbour kills two cats a day, you’re not exempt from blame and responsibility for the cats that you kill.

What you’re doing is feeling sorry for yourself and shirking responsibility for the harm that your leisure plane travel does to the climate and in extension to the environment and biodiversity.

Look up the numbers of how much CO2 emissions each person can be afforded to keep climate change and temperatures steady. Now try to factor in plane travel and eating beef while also living with basic amenities. Please get back to me, if you find a way to do those things while also not exceeding the emission threshold per capita, ie. not doing evil and contributing to our apocalypse in glacier speed.

Your body your choice, naturally.

Because you’re addicted to the point that you’re physically dependent on caffeine to be able to function. As an experiment try going three days without it and see if you can endure the withdrawal symptoms. It takes around a week to get over the worst part, around a month to get over the worst cravings, three months to feel better and around a year for your body to reach a new baseline. The advantage is feeling well when you wake up, having stable energy throughout the day until you go to bed, better sleep and feeling more relaxed and present in your surroundings.

You mean, you don’t pick them up with a glass and a piece of paper at put them outside?

The place where the human dong would be, seems to be horse-territory, so my guess would be no.
