    Something needs to die for you to survive, what and how much is up to your individual tolerance for input/output ratio.

    Death and suffering is a natural state of being in nature. I can reduce it, but I still need to survive.

    I hate fishing. I don’t need to fish in my current station. If I did, I would fish.

      Exactly. Pretty common misconception about vegan ideology. Vegans don’t think people in developing nations have a moral imperative to change their ways because they don’t have an alternative.

      I don’t need to eat meat, so I don’t.

        I genuinely wasn’t aware of this. Have never heard that argument made.

        So their position is basically that as soon as you have a sufficiently developed supply chain to buy refrigerated lab-grown or fake meat and get it home before it smells like a rotten protein shake, that’s what you should do? But until that happens, killing animals is ok?

          Uh, I only eat fake meat once every few weeks and that’s just for fun. I can live off of beans and rice just fine and it’s literally cheaper than meat lol
