      Meat tastes delicious to vegans too! It’s just that it’s unconsciouble to purposely destroy the planet just for the taste!

        How do you vegans know what meat taste like? You have to eat it to know what it tastes like, but if you eat meat, then are you a vegan?

        Not to mention vegans keep saying they don’t like eating meat, and yet you go out of their way to attempt to make food look and taste like “meat”. So do you want to eat meat or not? Pick a lane, vegans.

        Oh and humans ain’t gonna save or destroy the planet simply by eating meat. The earth doesn’t need us saving it, it’s the human that will go extinct due to our own actions. The planet will live on way after we’re gone, and new life will appear. The earth was able to survive billions of years before us, it WILL continue to survive looooooong after we go extinct.

          I wasn’t born a vegan, most vegans aren’t. I ate meat, and I’ve since stopped eating meat. What an unusual argument to make.

          Do you think vegans don’t eat meat because they don’t like the taste, and are trying to convince others that meat tastes bad? Vegans don’t eat meat because of the harm it causes to animals and the planet. If I could have meat without that harm, I would eat it. That’s why I eat food that emulates the taste and texture of meat. It sounds like you don’t understand veganism at all, or are a very lazy troll.

          Oh and humans ain’t gonna save or destroy the planet simply by eating meat

          No but it’s a bloody good start, and why not do it? I’m not worried about the earth, it will go on. But I’m concerned for the literally millions upon millions of people who’ll die from climate change caused by animal agriculture. I know you’re clearly not concerned about needless animal suffering, but are you not concerned for human suffering either?

            So other animal races can eat other animals but the human race, which is also animal in case you didn’t know, cannot eat other animals? Talk about literal interspecies racism.

              Animals also rape other animals. We shouldn’t look to animals to check our moral compass. Animals eat other animals out of necessity, in order to survive. We as humans no longer need to do that, and have the mental capacity to choose not to.

              If you still choose to kill and eat animals, purely to satisfy your tastebuds, then you are immoral. It’s as simple as that.

                Ah yes, raping, an activity that is the perfect comparison to eating meat. And yet everyone doesn’t get arrested for eating meat, the justice system is more corrupted than I thought.

                And as a species that has been around for 2.5 million years, we just started eating meat recently and definitely not for the last 2.4 million years. It’s a miracle that we evolved instantly from a bunch of apes eating nothing but plants to omnivores with complex history and advanced technology in just a mere 2 thousand years.

                Maybe having a brain the size of an orange ain’t so bad, we definitely should evolve backward to that since we were able to survive for 2.498 million years without meat after all.

                  I’m not suggesting that rape and the act of killing and eating animals are equivalent. You listed the fact that “animals kill animals, we are animals” as justification for doing so. I posit that, using that logic, “animals rape animals, we are animals” is broken justification for rape.

                  Also the fact we have been doing something for millions of years is not justification to continue doing so. We’ve indiscriminately murdered people for millions of years, you wouldn’t accept that as justification for murder.

                  Consumption of meat was certainly beneficial to our ancestors, as protein was hard to reliably attain. Now it isn’t, we have access to all kinds of reliable plant protein.

                  To now make the conscious choice to kill and eat animals, ONLY for ones pleasure, is immoral.
