Question

Personally i don't have an opinion or anything against meat eaters, vegans, or vegetarians.

Accepted Answer

Eat whatever works for you, though don't act superior for one or the other, either way we are not completely  free of guilt because no one system or diet is perfect, so don't tell me I'm horrible for eating meat, I won't say anything negative on you being vegan

Answer

I don't like looking at dietary choices in terms of guilt. It's not a contest. I'd rather focus my energy on advocating for the most ethical food production possible.

Answer

There should be no shame either way. U eat meat? Great! U don't? Great! Who cares lol. The only thing I have a problem with is when animals are treated badly before being slaughtered. Makes me sick.

Answer

Disagree. I know many vegans who plant their own gardens and encourage ecosystems in their backyards. I'm vegetarian but currently I feed rabbits, turtles, snakes, bees, cats, birds, squirrels etc in my backyard and I'm very bonded with a few of them. I don't buy fruits/vegetables from stores bc I don't trust their source.

However, I do contribute to local farms and buy their produce on trade days. The Op of that post just makes too many blanket statements as many vegans make too many blanket statements about meat eaters. It really is a case by case situation if we're talking about guilt. That post also sounds like it was written by a meat eater who feels guilty and wants to redirect some of their guilt, lol. Overall I think it's counterproductive to have a pissing contest about who's more guilty when we all just need to cut down on our consumption of animal products and do more in planting our own trees and gardens.

Answer

Im a farmer. We don't trap any animals. Too damn many of them. We might have a coyote hunt if we start losing livestock. But we don't trap on our crop field.

Answer

This person needs to do some research into what their claims are. Considering all the statistics that are out there the claims here are just ridiculous.
I agree nobody should shame anyone else but their claims are just off the wall opinions that would have no standing up against the actual statistics of farmland and what the biggest causes of deforestation/clearing actually are and ugh. This just frustrates me so much.

Here are some links to some vegans talking about the subjects, I couldn't actually find the one video I wanted, but, these talk about it too and other things a little bit/show why vegans are so angry and shame people sometimes.

Answer

"No less guilty than meat eaters", oh please. The amount of land cleared for crops is nothing compared to the amount of land cleared for livestock, and that's not even taking into account the water it takes to raise cattle or the methane/waste they contribute to the environment. Not to mention the plain old animal cruelty. This person is delusional.

Answer

Idc if you're vegetarian. You don't tell me what to eat, I won't tell you and I wont care. I have a friend who went vegan , she never makes me feel guilty for being a meat eater.

I just like bacon 🤷🏼‍♀️
