Antifreeze tastes good but no one thinks a diet that excludes antifreeze is restrictive. Because it’s poison!
Of all the humans who will die this year, about ONE THIRD will die from coronary disease acquired from consuming animal products. And that’s just one way animal products kill us, they make up like five of the top six most common causes of death. It’s fucking antifreeze.
People are shocked to find they enjoy food without antifreeze in it. Feel better after eating food that doesn’t have antifreeze in it. No fucking shit!
It does not limit my culinary world one jot to exclude antifreeze from it. I was also forced to discover there was an entire universe of foods that I had been directed away from, that my culture had been induced to forget. All that weird stuff in the produce section and the farmer’s market, where I used to think, “Who eats that weird shit??” … Now I eat that weird shit! And it’s really good!! I have a whole new set of favourite foods, and now they are so cheap and healthy, I can eat them for every meal if I chose, and I would be more healthy than I was when consuming animal products.
Based on scientific evidence, animal products are not necessarily unhealthy for individual humans. As far as I know at least, the coronary deseases you’ve mentioned are mainly caused by red meat and saturated fats.
Even though an average vegan diet is healthier than an average omnivore diet, you can eat perfectly healthy as an omnivore. Likewise, you can live of only junkfood as a vegan.
Veganism from my perspective should be about stopping animal abuse and protecting the planet. If humanity keeps going as is, climate change will be what will lead to insane suffering to both animals and humans. Veganism is a key part to lower the impact of what’s ahead of us.
Despite the importance of the topic, we should stick to the facts. Comparing every non-vegan diet to drinking anti-freeze is absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe people think you’re weird because you make weird analogies like comparing meat to antifreeze
It’s barely even an analogy. They are both poison. They both kill you.
Consult Rule 5 before continuing. And consider actually engaging with the points you disagree with instead of just saying, effectively, “I disagree,” but snottier.
Poor exercise and sedentary lifestyle kills you. Not meat. Plenty of otherwise valid discussion and criticisms to be had instead of just making things up along with absurd comparisons that make you look insane.
But that’s okay, if that’s enough to be actionable then I’ll be pretty able to accept that you just don’t like people calling you out and need a safe space from criticism.
