An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"I just like meat" is a weird point to make I feel. From a moral standpoint, if you feel it is wrong, it shouldn't matter wether or not you like the meat (I too remember meat fondly from when I was still eating it). I'll twist your word into an extreme to illustrate my point, imagine reading this:
"I agree that raping children should be stopped, but I just like children, I don't think that every one should stop, we should just reduce how much we do it".
It probably sound like it's completely ridiculous, but for someone that believe that it is morally wrong to kill and eat animals, this is kinda how you sound.
I'm ok with people not being morally aligned with me, but when they are not consistent in their viewpoint, I can't help but think they are just rationalising their behavior to ease their mind.
So every omnivore and carnivore is a child molester? It doesnt work in this way. You need the nutrients from meat. Thats why its do hard to make a meat substitute.
