    I mean, Vegans are morally superior, that’s a solved question.

      Can anyone downvoting this explain how vegans are not morally superior?

      • Not a vegan btw

        I would be very surprised. I am not even fully vegan myself, people just don’t want to confront their own moral issues.

        Yes, they are, unless you can make the argument that animal suffering and environmental destruction are good things.

            It reduces demand for meat, lowering production, ergo lowering environmental impact and animal suffering. Simple as.

              It reduces demand for meat, lowering production

              production increases every year.

                Not as quickly if there were no Vegans. Veganism does lower demand.

                  there is not any way to prove such a claim, as you cannot prove a counterfactual.

                    Are they just wasting money producing food they know isn’t in demand? What are you on? You’re goofy.

        This isn’t about being smug or not. Veganism is morally superior as long as you consider that animals suffer for Human Consumption, envionmental impacts of animal products far outweigh vegan alternatives, and humans can get all of their nutrition from vegan sources.

        The reason humans eat meat is for pleasure and profit, neither of which can be considered “morally superior” to the benefits of Veganism.
