If a person isn't vegan, it's not what they eat, but who. Some people don't give a fuck about other people being racist, not caring about shit is the norm.
Those were two very interesting sentences you put together.
There are some studies that show mycelium may show signs of sentient behavior. Also, trees and plants are shown to communicate and warn other plants of dangers. Heck, even trees are known to leverage mycelium networks to communicate.
I guess the question is: Who the heck have you been eating?
Any argument for plant sentience is an argument for veganism since according to the USDA, animals consume over 70% of soy and 40% of corn in the US (humans only consume 10% of corn directly). Corn and soy are the two largest crops. Not only does buying animal products kill the animal for that product, but amplifies crop deaths from all the crops they are fed and are inefficiently converted to flesh. You can be vegan and not eat mushrooms. 95% of plant biologists are in agreement plants are not sentient. If they were, still makes sense to be vegan.
I think vegans are crazy if they care about the 99.9% to 100% animal product free part more than about the, say, 50% to 99.9% part. The rest of them aren't.
Agree on that. I think the biggest issue is that the most extreme (caring about the 0,01%) tend to be the most vocal and agressive while they are the absolute minority of the group. All the vegans i know irl will not talk about veganism until asked about something (myself included).
They're no more crazy than any other religious zealots
If my religion is not paying people to chop baby animals heads off then I'm glad I'm religious and not another pos carnist.
Wellll, "carnist" isn't a word, nor is there a quasi-religious movement around eating meat.
Also, now that the troll bit is over, how ya doing? Been a couple of days since we last ran across each other.
That's not a troll or joke, genuinely hoping life is treating you well.
But, back to messing with you, I think you'd be happier with some bacon in your belly. Bacon makes everything better ;)
No, but most of them are annoying.
It's only the annoying ones that want to talk about it at length, so those are the ones you remember. There should be a name for that sort of phenomenon.
