Heheh, this shitpost triggers me.

My mom was forcing us a macrobiotic diet back in the day. We were strictly vegan, although fish is allowed in that diet, some vegetables like patatoes and tomatoes are not. Hardcore vegans…

My school lunch was mostly sushi with a filling of fermented prune called umeboshi, or tempeh and seaweeds, pumpkin or rice balls and sesame seeds. We were underfed, yellow flaky skin because of the overdose of carotene and you see everyone around you in school eating candy, fries, meat and what not while also taking the piss at you for being different and stinking of that diet.

At dinner I use to bury my Iziki seaweed in the plant pot because I just couldn't swallow that shit without gagging. If I did not behave mom would go…”you're behaviour is to yang, next two weeks on a yin diet”. Disgusting.

By the age of 12, me and my sister got into stealing money from our parents real quick to buy normal or fast food, annoying the guy at the snackbar on wheels for free fries, shoplifting and shit. Yeah, good times.

that’s why i hate religious restrictions

Don’t confuse that with veganism though

Isn’t veganism essentially a religious belief? Even if not, it is equally illogical.

It is logical. That’s why nobody can argue with the logic of the core arguments.

I’m curious. how is it illogical for you?

It is completly illogical and it tries to impose unnatural limitations - you know, like religions do.

Not a vegan, but we are omnivores. There is nothing unnatural about it. Let alone if you compare it to our modern ‘normal’ food, which is chock full of extra sugar, extra fat, extra protein, extra artificial additives like preservatives, sweeteners, and what not. It’s also factual that you can get more energy out of directly consuming plant material than eating an animal that consumed said plant material. If you take the biggest offenders for that, cows. You need 8 KG of feed for them to produce a KG of meat (source). Other animals (Like chicken and fish) are better, but a ration below 1 is essentially impossible.

I like the taste of meat as much as the next (average) person, but vegans do have a factual basis for their stance. But non-vegans rebuttal to that is realistically just “I don’t want to give up meat because I like it” not “the facts aren’t on your side.” - Lets be honest about that.

but we are omnivores, we can eat plants. There is nothing unnatural about it.

Yup, precisely, there is nothing unnatural about omnivores eating plants and meat. It is an attempt to restrict part of this normal for omnivores diet which is unnatural and this is what religions do. Thus my point.

You can eat shit if you want, it won’t kill you. There’s tribes in Greenland that eat it as a delicacy. So it’s natural! Or how about snails, grasshoppers, worms, crickets? All edible, even good. You should stop being so unnatural and cutting all of these things out of your diet. Oh, you won’t? Guess that makes you a religious believer now. C’mon man, you must be trying to be dense on purpose.

Are you really that dense?

Shame you’re not willing to see the unreasonableness in yourself. Now you have to go to the shop to buy some crickets to avoid being seen as a hypocrite.

Shame you’re not willing to see the unreasonableness in yourself.

More religious zealot talk, carry on, it is highly amusing 🤣

Pointing out hypocrisy using logical arguments is religious zealot talk?

I thought appealing to “common sense” or “nature” is what religious zealot do more often.

No, sweetheart. Calling eating meat a “murder” and claiming veganism has nothing to do with religious zealousy in one breath is a rare example of either shouting hypocrisy or sheer stupidity. 🤣

Sort of like the sheer stupidity of grouping veganism with another group you already despise, which is apparently religious people.

Throw as much shit as you want, you’ve done nothing to prove your position, unless you are trying to prove that some people are dumb enough to think vegans are inconsistent.

some people are dumb enough to think vegans are inconsistent

Or perhaps some vegans are too dumb to understand how their beliefs are similar to religions and how zealous they are 😂
