Not necessarily. It can be something as simple as "My spiritual beliefs just happen to align with what I want to do already". If you want to eat meat, it's very tempting to find a "spiritual" reason for doing it. Nobody can question you; it's just what you believe!

Which ethical systems don't consider sentience?! Big yikes.

What makes you think that I'm part of the GOP? There are a lot of people on the left who disagree with the Democrats.

Yeah, whoever made this was probably 20 and thinks that's what a 33-year-old looks like.

Is "more ethical" really enough if you accept that plants can suffer

I don't accept that, but even if I did, you should still act to minimize suffering as much as possible.

Do you really believe that killing a plant is the same as killing an animal?

Russian...communists? Do you know what year it is?

You can still care about animal cruelty and be ethical, even if you have an allergy. Having a medical condition doesn't give you a free pass to do whatever you want.

If you're eating meat, then you're contributing to the death of all of those plants that had to feed the animals you're eating. Even if you grant plants sentience, veganism is still the more ethical option.

Also dairy.

Funny, that's what I call people who parrot Democrat propaganda.

"Everybody who disagrees with me is a tankie!"

No candidate can win, unless you vote for them. That's the entire point of voting.
