    well as of the ethics doing a bad thing once is still having done a bad thing, but I guess sure if you want to decrease animal suffering the fastest realistic way, getting 10 people to reduce their consumption trumps 3 people completely cutting their meat consumption. (yet you’ll still have 10 people exploiting animals for their “products” who should be living without doing just that. vegan btw)

      The only thing wrong with your arguement is many don’t believe eating meat is unethical.

      You are completely correct that you will get more change getting people to reduce consumption than eliminate it

      As a vegetarian, we can all tell that you’re vegan. The disclaimer wasn’t necessary.

      This aggressive behavior and labeling isn’t productive if your goal is to persuade people to try something entirely new to them (remove meat from their diet).

        Yeah they could have left out the whole judgemental thing about animal suffering and be more encouraging. Instead they chose to be an insufferable, smug and arrogant microaggressor.

      Who said anything about animal suffering? I feel like this is more about personal health…
