Also you're going to miss out on crucial nutrients like protein, calicum, omega-3 (this can be fatal) zinc, vitamin B and D
If one does not want to support the unnecessary bad treatment of commercial livestock animals: They can always buy from ethical farms
Vegans are so funny man
Well hindus are vegetarians and yet their ancestors ate meat. So its mostly cultural. Also our ancestors were naked. I dont see you walking around semi-naked in 2024, do you?
Vegetarian ≠ vegan
Humans dont kill animals in the wild, they breed them into existence, cause them to suffer and then kill them in factory farms. Its obvious to be you are not well informed on the subject. If i bash you in the head and ate your body as meat and my argument was 'well you'd die anyways', iam sure you wouldnt be pleased. You need to view it from the point of view of the animals.
Iam sorry this is retarded. Vegetarians dont eat meat, so they do care about the killing of animals. They do consume dairy products but you have to note factory farming is quite recent. Back in the day people had their own cows and they'd milk them for products. The meat and the dairy industry werent linked in those times.

No way you compared me to an animal
don't tell me you value animal life over human tooAnimals don't have awareness lmao
Again, you are coming off as stupid. Animals are sentient. All sentient beings display emotions. Have you had a dog? or a cat perhaps? Can you tell if your dog is happy or not? I sure can. Animals can display a complex range of emotions. They can feel happiness, sadness, pleasure, pain, etc.
I don't think we eat cats or dogs lol
Iam not into speciesism. Saying all human life is equally valid and all animal life is invalid is nonsense. I would value a healthy dog higher than a man in a coma. The latter is pretty much a vegetable while the former can feel pleasure and pain.^
No way you compared me to an animal
Says who? Animals are sentient, they have a central nervous system and a brain like we do.
Neither can children. Are you going to eat human kids now? lol
Explain how eating a grown animal is comparable to a human child
Whos we? Dogs and cats are consumed in a lot of Asian countries.
Source 'trust me bro'. Pigs are extremely intelligent (more than dogs) and yet humans consume them. Why do you keep saying live stock have 0 emotions? Its simply not true.
You said animals cant recognize themselves in a mirror, neither can new borns. I was making the comparison since that was your standard.
I was talking about grown animals with fully matured brains
Ok let me make it simpler for you. You created a new standard (seemingly out of thin air) that one has to be able to recognize one's self in the mirror to be deemed worthy enough to not be killed and eaten. Lets just assume for the sake of argument that this is a reasonable standard (in reality its not) A lot of mentally impaired humans (even fully grown ones) cannot exhibit this trait. Would you suggest we kill and eat them? Dotn say we cant because theyre humans. Thats an arbitrary standard. Its the same as saying we cant kill them because theyre dogs.
Humans aren't cannibals lmao
@itsallaboutpersonality lastly I want to ask you a question
Few human tribes were in fact cannibals. Modern humans arent and for good reason. You're just arguing semantics without having consistent standards that can apply across all animals (of which humans are one species)
Like i said already, if i show you humans that dont have intelligence, would that be suffice to have them be killed and eaten? Also theres no reason different in emotions and sentience between livestock and non livestock animals. I suggest you do your research
It will, albeit in a small way. Regardless, its based on my moral standards.
Irrelevant. There are also humans who want to kill you simply because you are a different skin color or religion. Would you have them killed and eat their flesh? Iam guessing you wouldnt.
