Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
Being proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.
I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.
I eat animals I grow, except in a few exceptional circumstances - minimal enough that, if everybody ate meat the way I do, the industry would fall.
It’s good you’re living up to what you believe in. It’s a bad idea to live off of suffering you can’t yourself bear.
Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.
I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.
