Being an omnivore isn't a "cause" in the same way veganism is, and you know it. Most people are omniverous--there is no "cause" to be had. Vegans make up less than 4% of people. On average, a little less than people who follow a "keto" diet.

I know very few, if any, carnivores though, so maybe you're referring to a specific group of people with which I am unfamiliar. Or maybe you were just using self-righteous hyperbole for rhetorical effect in the name of your "cause." Wouldn't that be ironic?

Lol where do you get your data from? There are way more vegans than that. Enjoy the carcinogens bud!

You're right, you're not self-righteous at all!

I got it from polling cited on animalfoundation.org, which puts the number of vegans at around 1.1%. I rounded up because I was trying to be generous. Other polls put the number under .5% in the United States, but I was trying to give you some supportive numbers--otherwise it would actually be more like "there are 8x more people doing Keto than practicing veganism in the United States," and I didn't want to demoralize you and your "not a cause" cause.

We're all enjoying plenty of carcinogens, yourself included, I assure you.

It's so funny that you put so much effort into making yourself feel good about eating the flesh of dead animals. Fuck you.

I'm not putting any effort into that at all. Again. Being an omnivore is not a "cause" and doesn't require any effort to feel fine about it given it's the default dietary choice of the vast majority of all humans on the planet.

I am however putting (minimal) effort into making fun of you for literally doing what the original commenter--who wasn't me, incidentally--said vegans do.

And now you appear to have reached the inevitable, defensive conclusion: "OMG Y U TRY HARD FUK U." So edgy.

U mad? Y U mad bro? Lolol
