    Eating meat. It contributes 15-20% of the entire planets greenhouse gasses alone. And people do it just for pleasure. It’s mindboggling.

      Some people would look at the oncoming environmental end of civilisation and go “ugh, another VEGAN trying to shove their ideology down my throat”

      but i have an extremely rare disease that forces me to eat dead animals, animals do it too, plants feel pain, a vegan was rude to me 10 years ago, and its not like me paying for farmers to kill animals and thus creating a demand for meat means i have a hand in it!!!

      What? Meat provide like 90% of my protein intake. What are you suggesting here? Stop living?

      Oh yeah, you are doing fine just by eating vegetables. I don’t.

      And no, I don’t eat meat to have pleasure. I eat it to live.

        If you have non-meat alternatives that are within your means and provide the same nutritional value, and you still choose to eat meat on purpose, then it is for pleasure. But if you have a specific circumstance that is preventing you from switching to alternatives, then that’s a different story.
