Tastes gud
Why do vegans always think they have the moral high ground?
Why does “whatever the fuck you are” have an inferiority complex?
Probably because they do. Choosing to slaughter billions of sentient creatures every year for food and accessorization, when the majority of us have an abundance of other options, is morally fucked… and this is coming from somebody who eats meat with some frequency.
Just because we like it, or because it’s easier, or because it’s “tradition” doesn’t mean it’s morally righteous, it just means we’re selfish assholes 💀
When people lash out at vegans it’s always painfully obvious they’re fighting cognitive dissonance… Eat meat and revel in the immorality if you so desire, no one’s stopping you; but don’t fucking lie to yourself, and don’t get butthurt when someone holds a mirror up to your face because they’re tired of seeing billions of lives snuffed out due to pure hubris.
Don’t poke the beast. Paragraphs incoming.
This might not be a “stupid” question, but it sure is a loaded and leading one that for sure isn’t in good faith. Welcome to my block list, enjoy your stay.
Because:
- Ruminants like cows repair our depleating topsoil via regenerative farming (our current approach of using petroleum-based fertilisers is not sustainable)
- A single cow’s life can feed a human for 1 to 2 years, compared to the many incidentally killed animals (insects, rodents, frogs, birds, etc.) during the growing and harvesting of crops, plus the destruction of entire ecosystems to create the mono-crop farms in the first place
- Humans need to eat lots of fat to be physically and mentally healthy, and beef provides lots of fat (the low-fat high-carbohydrate diets recommended by various agencies — starting with the US’s department of agriculture in the late '70s via the food pyramid — are making us sick, with once-rare diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and dementia now commonplace)
This is ignoring the fact that raising a cow for consumption requires ~10 times the amount of crops per calorie compared to just eating the crops directly. Also, I don’t think I’ve heard a single health expert recommended eating more beef - the universal understanding is that red meat consumption is generally a net negative in terms of overall health.

Kind of, kind of not. If fed corn, yes. If pasture raised, no. Humans can’t eat grass. Cows convert grass into food.
LOL nice try, veggie troll
Thanks for commenting butthurt normie.
Because we are carnivores and that’s how nature works?
The word you’re looking for is omnivores
The average human has much more of a negative effect on the environment than a cow. So, shouldn’t the question be why we tolerate so many people?
Don’t ya just love when scumbags try to make ecofascism woke?
Go back to being a terrible dad Ra’as AlGhoul.
You’re really sensitive, huh?
How would not tolerating look like? Let’s start with you as an example, maybe your loved ones too. And maybe look at the horrors of a one child policy in China before we start following that idea again.
Maybe start with people like you who take things on the Internet too seriously
You beat me to it.
Beef makes money. Just like cars, oil makes money.
Meat yummy
It’s nutritious. Instead of carefully observing some diet you can eat some beef and buckwheat or cabbage or beans, and you’re good.
That said, I eat meat so rarely that my relatives worry, mainly because it takes some time to cook if you boil it, and I’m lazy and unorganized, and frying it has the potential of, eh, leaving the kitchen for 5 minutes which turn out to be half an hour and returning for the smell.
Other than that people can’t care about every problem at once.
This rage bait question could be reworded as…
Why do people consume <anything> when we know it’s bad for the earth.
I think it’s valid that he chose the #1 food source problem to talk about first. Once we fix that, let’s discuss #2.
Cow yummy
This has got to be a troll, right?
We have a vegan infestation unfortunately.
I’m not a vegan. I’m glad you’re butthurt enough to comment.
Oh, aren’t you cute? So sassy.
I couldn’t care less what you are. I don’t care what you eat. I don’t care if you’re a boy or a girl. I do however, acknowledge that you are a judgmental asshole with nothing to offer but criticism. You are a net negative to any conversation you take part in.
You seem like a very pleasant person.
You’re worthless, fuck off.
Because it tastes great and it’s today, and not tomorrow.
Big money involved
Because they’re lazy and comfortable and stupid and they don’t give a shit about anything.
