@maggieeatsvegan: People always try to “get” vegans with “your crops kill insects” or “your car has leather seats.” Veganism isn’t about avoiding all harm or being perfect. It’s about reducing the unnecessary harm we can. #vegan #plantbased #veganism #govegan #vegantiktok
I don't mean this as a "gotcha" but the paper most people cite when they make this claim doesn't even include insects in the calculations whatsoever and still concludes grass fed meat harms half as many animals as a vegan diet. If you want to reduce your harm as much as possible why wouldn't you go that route, or at least respect people who do?

They always forget when they say “your crops kill insects and field mice” that cows, chickens, and pigs are all fed crops. It’s such a hair brained argument

My leather seats in my car came before my veganism. What am I supposed to do? I’m driving that girl until she drives off into the sunset. Let’s be supportive not damning!

it's because they want to justify not making any changes to their life. the fact they comment at all means they know they're exploiting animals, but don't care enough to change

Kill 1 pasture raised grass fed cow and be fully sustainable in food for an entire year, vs kill thousands of field animals, birds, & insects to plant and grow your soybeans. Which option is reducing more harm?

veganism kills millions of small animals. youre not reducing the harm youre just shifting it to animals you dont care about

And I DO feel bad for all those plants I kill. That's not a meaningful gotcha to point out that I sadly kill and eat some sustainable plants.

So veganism isn’t about people completely eradicating meat consumption right?

That’s exactly my standpoint too: I eat some veg because to eat all meat would be unnecessarily harmful to my health…

When lab grown meat becomes the norm (and it will) we’ll have the best of both worlds!

FYI avoid McDonald’s new fried apple pie. Google states it’s made with an animal ingredient L cysteine claims it’s not vegan friendly.

Having your own personal farm, plus hunting and fishing does less harm to both animals and the environment than veganism does. Veganism is certainly better than grocery store meat shopping though.

I don’t understand the race to villainise vegans, if someone said they drove an electric car because it’s better for the environment or they only bought clothes that were made without slave labour nobody would bat an eye but the second a vegan says they dont eat animal products everyone wants to debunk or debate or prove that somehow it’s racist or immoral or ableist😭 I think it comes from people deep down knowing that being vegan is kind of morally superior but it’s easier to act like it’s not than accept that you could be a better person by avoiding animal products
