    Anytime someone mentions veganism, there has to be a discussion on plants. Interesting how you suddenly care about vegetables.

    Vegetables are not sentient, and even if they were, it requires fewer plants if you eat them directly instead of feeding them to an animal first for years, and then killing the animal.

    I’m actually not interested in talking to you, but perhaps someone will read this and realize how absurd it is to compare chopping vegetables to slicing the throat of an animal.

















  • Rereading the chain I see misread the original comments, my bad.

    Lazy and self-aware enough to know that there is not much i can or will do to improve the morality of meat consumption.

    You can stop eating meat? That seems to be a fix that puts you squarely into better moral territory. Unless you think the killing, torturous treatment and rape is moral. It’s your choice whether you want to do something, but it I object to the word can here.

    In general, just having conscience as a guiding ethical compass leaves you open to many logical inconsistencies. Would you agree?

    I respect the self-reflection in this comment. Sadly, I also feel a small need to ask you to think about ethics and morality slightly deeper. Imagine if your predecessors made similar comments about [insert moral failing of history]. How would you think about that?

    I think most of us try to be good people, but it’s really hard to do the right thing if you never think about what is right and why (and yes, sometimes that includes not being lazy).
