I don’t even find it hypocritical… I’d be sad too if I couldn’t eat the fish… It could have at least died to fit in my belly rather than just dying for no good reason.
For example that producing and shipping the pure amount of mass corresponding to the same amount of nutrition in vegan foods vs dairy/meat products is not sustainable, because plant based foods contain so much less nutrition than animal products. You have to level and destroy forest habitats to grow all these things for 10,000,000,000 people… That’s an infant amount of plants.
And a lot of foods that claim to be “good sources of protein” don’t really… contain much else, like meat does. Some are even harmful in large quantities like too much soy in your diet, especially to children.
I dunno, these are things I’ve been told. Just the messenger so take with a grain of salt. But I thought they were interesting points that shouldn’t be ignored and should be disproven before dismissed. I just have too much going on in my life to worry about researching it right now. 😓 But one day maybe!
What do you think? I think this topic is definitely more complicated than “let’s fix/save the world by going vegan”.
Personally… I’d be much more worried about native animal populations if meat is banned. Eg… take away steak at the supermarket, and you might find that people will just start hunting a lot more.
Strawman.
What people are justifiably concerned about is pollution causing death and disease. Fuck off with this hYpOcRiSy bullshit

Or some other creature that eats fish. Every death in nature should benefit someone, ideally. 😕 Us or other animals.
Guarantee the person who made this is a vegan.
You’d hope so, the more the better for the planet
You’d think so, until you hear the rebuttals to this that never ever get brought up by the media.
What are some of these “rebuttals”?

who do you think pollutes the waters? you get 3 tries but no phone-a-friend
Mostly China and India.
Let’s keep it civil
OP is minimizing an actually very important issue. They may as well work for an oil company (and they very well might)
That’s a reeeeaaaal stretch, and I think you know it lol
Seems to me more likely that OP is supporting veganism
Why?
