🧵 What's with all the anti-vegan threads now?

Anonymous No. 16239253

Veganism is fine so long as you do your research and, depending on your diet supplement nutrients you may be deficient in (Vitamin B12, D, iron, and iodine being the most common). Most of what you will need can easily be provided with a multivitamin. In fact veganism may very well be necessary when you consider the current rate we are consuming dairy and meat is unsustainable on a global scale, especially when you consider the impact of animal agriculture on climate change. Plus there is a moral quandary - we all agree harming animals unnecessarily is wrong, yet by eating animals we are harming them unnecessarily since we no longer need to eat animals to survive.

This entire website is in an ongoing crisis of masculinity and people associate veganism with femininity and liberalism. They have a pathological need to justify their life choices by putting down an imaginary enemy. Quite ironic, of course, given the stereotype about vegans.

This is the same psychological process that accounts for all this board's obsessions, btw
Ultimately it's a rejection of perceived liberal feminine weakness and a convenient excuse to avoid changing your ways or improving the world because that's for sissies. And a bunch of basement dwelling math spergs need all the help they can get to appear masculine. Hence they put on a whole show and dance.

here's the thing.

even if veganism is harmful to health, it still should not be criticised, because the virtue of its moral intent is too strong. according to our best estimations, higher order animals suffer, and minimising their suffering holds great moral value.

Veganism is a totalitarian, hateful, anti human ideology. Giving more value to animals than to humans means dehumanizing humans. This repulsive mindset goes hand in hand with other genocidal tendencies which appallingly seem to be on the rise in current times.

It is absolutely not a personal choice. Vegan ideologists are fundamentally convinced that omnivore nutrition needs to be globally permanently eradicated. They are not satisfied with themselves eating no meat, they are obsessed with taking away YOUR meat.

It is almost impossible to maintain the caloric excess required by skeletal growth on a vegan diet. I'm sure you can be a healthy vegan if you meticulously curate your diet, but you will never be tall. Height is one of the foremost breeding indicators. You are more likely to be an evolutionary failure and fail to reproduce if you maintain a vegan diet. It's probably fine after your teenage years if you can put the effort in but at that point why would you bother? You've already had a diet high in milk and meat to become tall and you're not switching to veganism at that point.

Aquatic ape theory is quite obviously correct. It's so overwhelmingly obvious that humans are supposed to be pescatarian. I unfortunately have an aversion to sweets which seems to run in the male side of my family so the only fruits I commonly eat are Avocados, Tomatoes, Capsicums, and Chillis. If any sweet fruits are important then I'm not fucking getting any of them. I still think fish/fruit/nuts/leaves are what we're meant to eat. Our teeth are built for it all, and we can comfortably eat raw fish. It's nice that we discovered fire and can now eat meat we weren't built for. The fact that we must cook everything but fish seems very telling to me.

I did answer it usefully. Your inability to understand is a you-problem. Fyi not all humans are sentient, and I'd argue some aren't even conscious. You, unfortunately, appear to fall into the non sentient category. You undervalue humans and overvalue animals, setting them on a par with each other or even worse setting animals as higher. Here I'll break it down more
>No invertebrates are conscious
>Only (some) ape species display consciousness
>Of the ape species that display consciousness, only a subset of the species are conscious (implying some members still lack consciousness, see e.g. literal retards behooved to their biological impulses—do not be deceived by their ability to use language)
>Of the conscious species, only one of them is sentient (don't @me with all the earlier species of homo, only homo sapiens display sentience, which arose about 3000-5000 years ago)
>Of the members of homo sapiens that are conscious, only some are sentient (implying some conscious humans are not sentient)
Understand yet? Probably not, because you lack sentience. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt to assume you have consciousness.

All humans are sentient, arguing about subjective experiences is pointless due to everything being inherently impossible to prove, and the only thing we can truly confirm is that you're both retarded for trying to pick fights over a topic rooted in subjective experience. Shut the fuck up or take it to /x/. My subjective experience is that I've sentiently observed you both being obnoxious shitheads if you were curious. Of course, I can't be sure that you truly experienced curiousness regarding my disdain nor can you be sure that a sentient being actually judged you. Shut the fuck up you fucking pseuds. Go and kiss your reflections in your mirrors.

And yet, we disagree. I've provided the argument. Even given you definitions upon request (which you subsequently dismiss for no reason aside from what appear to be emotional outbursts). Meanwhile let's not lose sight of the topic at hand: your inability to prove animals are sentient or conscious. All you're doing is trying to tear down the beauty of humanity so that you can treat animals on a moral par with humans. You disgust me.

>Veganism is fine so long as you do your research and [...] supplement nutrients
First, veganism requires research and effort to have a shot at a balanced diet. Second, even if you succeed at both you have to take supplements, since not all nutrients a human needs are available in plant based sources.

A lifestyle that forces otherwise perfectly healthy people to take pills can not be supported.

>veganism may very well be necessary when you consider the current rate we are consuming dairy and meat is unsustainable on a global scale
Veganism requires more resources than an omnivorous diet. Omnivores have access to a lot more food sources and thus spread their impact more thinly. One third of all calories humanity consumes are estimated to be from the ocean and thus mostly from fish. Omnivores also make more efficient use of food sources they share with vegans. The parts of plants edible to us are actually very few. We feed a lot of our crop parts to lifestock, as well as recycle food waste and inedible species.

Lifestocks output is also far more than mere food. Lifestock produces valuable resources such as manure, fur, leather, hair, bones. And yes, we do make use of those still. While it is possible to find animal free alternatives to these products those alternatives either require limited resources such as oil or need to be farmed themselves, eating into our fertile farmland.

Additionally, lifestock rearing is the only way to make huge parts of our planet usable for us humans. Hunting needs to be named too, as it allows us to make double use of areas we need to produce wood, for example.

>the impact of animal agriculture on climate change
Such as? Everything an animal puts out while it is alive comes from its feed. That feed absorbed these climate pollutants from the atmosphere while it grew.

>we no longer need to eat animals to survive
Wrong.

The typical vegan has a lot in common with a religious martyr. The vegan sacrifices his fulfilment so that he can lord his moral superiority over you. He imposes his will on you by shaming you for enjoying what he denies to himself. He claims to be driven by a just desire to protect animals and immunises himself from critique. Because if you criticize the vegan he can attack you as morally reprehensible since you must want animals to suffer.

Loud vegans are disgusting people.

I like your post
I alternate between eating raw beef liver, raw ground beef and raw fish for breakfast, I'll eat raw egg yolks throughout the day as well
I once left my liver out on the counter on a hot day and didnt realise until they day after, I smelled it then tasted it and didnt so much as gag, in fact it tasted like aged cheese, almost had a sweet(er) taste, same with ground beef that "spoiled"
I never got sick from eating any of these and I feel great after eating them, as long as they don't taste bitter I think they're fine to eat raw
right now im convinced we were born as scavengers in the early years of our species existence but I'm not married to that idea
