    Some of the products you use kill people.

    In any case I’m not against meat, I’m native and it’s part of our culture, I will never say it’s wrong. Waste is wrong though, and so is easy access to meat to the point where consumers don’t even think about the sacrifice the poor animal made. If I hunted it myself, showed respect and didn’t waste anything I would eat the meat.

    By the way you’re also assuming I buy those gross grocery store eggs, instead of buying the small local farm, Mennonite stuff. And I’m lactose intolerant so I drink oat milk.

      I think your first point is an appeal to futility argument. It’s also a good reason to be vegan as crop production to feed animals requires more labor, more injuries. In fact, slaughterhouses are some of the most dangerous places to work. Back to the victims though, there’s no respectful way to kill someone who does not want to die - be it a deer or a human. It was part of white culture to wipe out indigenous people and own slaves and there were many whites in the civil war who died trying to protect the institution of slavery which was a part of their culture. Oat milk is based, I encourage you to go vegan.
