    People did not consume the amount of meat they do today. Meat used to be a serious luxury most people couldn’t afford at all.

    You should educate yourself instead of knee jerk reacting to bash on vegans.

      So if we just stop subsidizing it so ridiculously it should go way down to sustainable levels then right?

        Certainly if we also stop indirect subsidies like the failure to internalize externalities. Include the climate damage caused in the price tag, and people will love a veggy curry instead.

      I am a vegan bro I hate meet Because I don’t like the taste. I hate vegans trying to turn a food PREFERENCE into a snobbery high horse thing. dude eating Factory Farm Veggies is just as bad if not worse (see Monsanto)

      Maybe Boop A Pipeline if you are truly morally superior

        That’s nice. I’m not vegan, actually, and I encourage veganism/vegetarianism but don’t consider eating meat a moral failure.

        You are making prejudice assumptions and being a bit of a dick about it which is ironic since your whole supposed complaint is some fantasy vegan that fits the stereotype in your head (probably placed there by meat industry propaganda).

        Also, factory farmed veggies are obviously not as bad as the meat, that’s just you being a silly twat.

        Veganism is not a food preference, you are not vegan.

        Veganism is a stance to avoid harming non-human animals.
