    Stop eating meat, it’s easy, you change your diet and are healthier.

    Honestly stop saying “Your post does more harm to your cause than good because it just makes everyone angry at you”

    It’s a tired and worn out excuse to avoid saying “I’m lazy and selfish”

      Can you provide some product comparisons that include cost and nutritional value? Take into account dietary restrictions as well. Not for me personally but for anyone in general.

        No, do your own work if you actually care or are you just trying to “gotcha” me?

          The ‘gotcha’ was going to be: “Great information! This is the kind of post that might actually change someone’s mind.”

          But instead we have condescending posts/comments that assume everyone simply has the means to make a significant change in their life.

              Great! Now someone reading this thread that just learned that beef is bad has a community they can look into.

              I actually very rarely eat red meat myself but it’s for dietary reasons. Poultry and fish are my biggest source of protein but I still get a good amount from seeds, beans, etc.

      It’s easy when you only need to care about your own needs. Try saying that with a family and kids…based on your comment I suspect you can’t.

          You could certainly lead by example by not acting like an insufferable asshole and giving the movement a bad look.

              I’m pretty sure more animals got killed by you turning off people against the movement than I ever cause by eating beef my whole life. I barely eat beef in the first place, and most of what I eat comes from small scale local farmers. So congrats, I guess, for killing more cows than me.

                You’re just making shit up to try and justify your stance. It’s hilarious.

                  Sure, whatever you want to believe. You don’t seem to care that you’re sabotaging your own movement, anyway, so what so I care what you think.

                    Sabotage, lol, keep on coming up with excuses. Pretend it’s not you who’s the shitty person. I started my movement when I was a child and didn’t even know the word vegan. For a lot of people vegan is a personal thing and the fact there’s a community is a bonus, but you wouldn’t understand.
