@comet.haylz: but our ancestors ate meat 😭 ok and?? #vegan #animalrights #plantbased

˙∘˚ Maria˚∘˙ :

Not against vegetarianism but veganism isn’t necessary

Liv :

A vegetarian here 🥹 my family is from Iowa and they always say “it supports the farmers this is their livelihood” thoughts?

mar :

Cognitive dissonance is a strange thing. You can only speak in proven facts to a meat eater and they’ll still just not care

whimsyweiloss :

There’s another reason that this argument makes absolutely no sense, and it’s the fact that our ancestors didn’t put animals in factories and mass breed them. They farmed their own food and way back they hunted it.

“Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.”

SlimShimmy :

Humans are omnivores. Case closed

jeremeyburgess350 :

Why can't you let people live how they want to live

Alice 🩰 :

Right cause my European ancestors didn’t bathe for weeks on end so maybe let’s not do as they did 😭

db :

Love this! Also to add: our ancestors ate meat maybe once a month when they were able to successfully hunt. These people eat meat with multiple meals and try to use this argument. It is not the same at all!!! Our ancestors also didn’t factory farm, everything they had was found in nature

Crucifictions :

There's no moral argument for eating plants. So I guess we should all just die. Plants are living things, they live, they breathe, they scream when they're hurt.They call out to there Other plants to let them know they're about to be killed.So what's the difference?

Midori :

So well said! Just because we can do it, doesn’t mean we should!

matcha.mommyyy :

As a vegetarian I think a valid argument is for health and allergy reasons, not everyone has the health or body that can live a vegetarian or vegan diet, I don’t think everyone needs to go vegan or vegetarian but rather must do what they can with the cards they were given to play. If that means they can fully go vegan great, but if it means just cutting one from of meat/animal product out of their diet or buying from more sustainable sources also great, it needs to be equitable, just like we should have an equitable society. In an ideal world we could all be vegan but this is not an ideal world as we see with every social, political, and economic issue. And similar to every issue it doesn’t have to be black and white there is not one answer, but instead what can we each do as an individual to work towards a better world where hopefully we can all eventually cut out meat and animal products, or at least get as close as possible.

bellsjewelmae :

It should be very simple. You learn how you got food on your plate, and make the change to go vegan. It was so easy for me to buy tofu instead of chicken. Idk why they argue against it so bad 😭

kerstin 🌙🪻🪩 :

also, hunting game in amounts that would be able to be consumed without preservation is incomparable to factory farming

Seqan08 :

In the Bible animals was slaughtered for sacrifice for repentance of sin. Later, God gave animals to Noah and his family to eat as food.

Holly Larkham :

exactly !! plus we haven’t always eaten meat the way people do today so many cultures especially across india and asia lived off plant based diets for thousands of years

twinklefeet :

how many vegans are taking actual action towards the meat industry to improve or change it besides not eating meat? i mean it as a genuine question

Kayla🌸 :

congrats.YUKIII :

Our ancestors did eat meat and because of that we evolved to digest meat. It is biologically more efficient to eat meat. There is nothing immoral about eating to survive plant based diets haven’t been a part of the human diet till very recently in human history to say we don’t need me is to deny our bodies, natural function

⚛️⊝charlotte⊝⚛️ :

hey so some people actually NEED meat. i have a diet required from my doctor (including salmon and beef) because of a medical condition. ableism and classism at its finest. poor people cannot afford the "vegan alternatives" you praise so much

alex_blub84 :

i’m allergic to almost every protein source except fish

Taleah 💯💯 :

i have arfid so yeah ima keep eating meat

crimson7345 :

But since you've claimed otherwise tell me, What exactly is so immoral about, eating chicken for example when I for example, have no choice but to eat or die?

Reed :

meat eaters don’t need an argument, we do it for the love of the game
