The future is plants, get used to it. Can't wait till we outlaw killing innocent animal for a quick taste.

HOW TO BEAT A VEGAN IN AN ARGUMENT: Your step-by-step guide to justifying killing animals and destroying the planet...

Step 1: REMIND THEM THAT HUMANS HAVE BEEN EATING MEAT FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
No vegans are aware of this, but one thing they are aware of is that if humans have been doing something for thousands of years, it must be acceptable. After all, there's nothing worse than moral progress!

Step 2: BECOME A PLANT RIGHTS ACTIVIST
Everybody knows that killing animals and killing plants is the same thing. Be sure to condemn a vegan driver if they swerve onto the grass to avoid running over your dog... they'd have only taken one life if they'd have just headed straight for Ol' Yeller, but no, they had to take out an entire family of blades of grass instead.

Step 3: ASK THEM WHAT THEY'D DO IF THEY WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND
Vegans are routinely stranded on desert islands. This is why many of them have beards.

Step 4: REMIND THEM THAT EATING MEAT ISN'T ILLEGAL
If politicians think something is okay, then it must be!

Step 5: SHOUT "BACON" REPEATEDLY
Vegans have never heard of this product. This will disorientate the vegan.

Step 6: POINT AT YOUR CANINE TEETH
Everyone knows that if you have a body part capable of doing something, that means it's okay to do whatever it is that it/they can be used for. For consistency, be sure to sexually assault someone and then point at your dick when the police question you as to why you did it.

Step 7: TELL THEM THAT WE NEED TO EAT ANIMAL PRODUCTS TO SURVIVE
Many vegans are unaware of the fact that they are actually dead, much like Bruce Willis' character in 'The Sixth Sense'.

Step 8: TELL THEM THAT MEAT IS TASTY
No vegans are aware of this, since none of them have ever eaten meat in their entire lives.

Step 9: TELL THEM VEGAN FOOD TASTES LIKE ****
It's a well known fact that not a single one of the 20,000 edible plant species on earth or the spices and other products derived from them are in the slightest bit appetising.

Step 10: REMIND THEM THAT THEY USE ELECTRICITY
Being involved in a justice movement is hypocritical if you use electricity. Be sure to also tell racial equality campaigners, gay rights activists and anti child abuse campaigners that their cause is pointless for the same reason.

Step 11: CALL THEM A PUSSY
Caring about stuff and siding with the weak and defenceless over the all-powerful masses is for pussies.

Step 12: REMIND THEM THAT YOUR SITUATION IS JUST LIKE A LION'S
Let them know about that one time you stalked your prey down in the meat aisle at Sainsbury's, clutching a weapon fashioned out of plastic called a 'credit card'.

Step 13: MAKE THEM AWARE OF HOW YOU EATING MEAT AND ANIMAL PRODUCTS ACTUALLY BENEFITS THINGS
Finally, make the vegan aware of all the good eating meat, cheese, milk, eggs, fish, etc. does for animals, the environment, and other humans. Seeing as veganism helps none of those things, this will make the vegan realise which is the cause REALLY worth fighting for.

- George Martin

Scientific evidence that eating meat is healthy:

http://bigthink.com/21st-century-spi...ource=********

Not vegan because I'm not gay.

you think animals aren't gonna be killed for 100 other reasons for which they're already killed, like experiments and gelatin in health products and chit? just lol @ you.

I mean have you tasted meat?

I agree with with veganism in the moral sense, not really well versed in biology chit so not sure how true it is that it's 100% healthier in the long run to be vegan but seems to be a fact that lots of red meat is bad for you...

I think there is only one way veganism will be mainstream, which is the availability of cheap and good-tasting lab grown meat.. Otherwise forget it, you're not changing human race to only eat plants because we've been doing this since the start of our history.. Think about it, every single civilization on earth, at all times since the beginning of our times. Maybe biologically we don't need meat in 2018 but it's in our dna to eat it and not feel bad at the very least.
Maybe vegans are just more compassionate people by nature but all the work they're doing for activism and raising awareness is for nothing imo, maybe the rate of people that convert increases every year but it's so insignificant that it does nothing.. Anyone that has internet has seen those slaughterhouse videos at least once, would be surprised if even 0.001% of them convert to veganism..

But in the moral sense if you're a vegan good for you srs, I respect you for standing up for animals without a voice that get treated horribly. As for me, maybe i'm psycho but I'm still an omnivorous and don't really feel bad about it (would never kill an animal with my own hands though I think)

Thanks for sharing. Diet, like religion and culture, are passed down by society. This is why it's so hard to convince people that their normal is killing them or bad for others. Many vegans do typically have more compassion, but I believe most humans are able to be compassionate if only they are able to break through societies brainwashing and chose for themselves what is moral and not.

If I were one of your peers this would not be true. Maybe you should try some meat.

commie propaganda from OP

Meat only slows gains and causes cancer, no thanks jeff.

Communism is the future.

yeah if you wanna be a weak spineless man... sure..

Nothing spineless about liberating the human race from its overlords, abolishing the state and ending money.

It's not really about brainwashing though... Like I said, it's part of us to eat meat since we've been doing it since the beginning, but even in modern times the act of cooking and eating is one of our greatest joys along with sex and materialistic objects, but not everyone can get sex whenever they want or buy the expensive material possession they want.. However getting a little serotonin rush from cheap fast food is easy af, good luck convincing those millions of people to go vegan... It's like trying to convince the average male to go on no fap for life lol..

Yes, most humans can be compassionate and I believe most would refuse to kill animals with their own hands (unless society breaks down or some chit like that) but we are also greedy af and can easily 'shut our eyes' towards the suffering since it happens in the background and the end result is good and easily available.. and I guarantee you 90%+ of people that have internet know what happens in the background and how their meat/dairy gets to the supermarket.

I really believe the only chance vegans have is lab grown meat srs and I hope it happens mainly for the sake of the environment..

recently i had the realisation that every time i'm choosing a meal with meat in it over a vegetarian option i'm basically saying that my preference for taste is more important than another sentient beings life.

problem is my diet is only ****en meat eggs and cheese, havent eaten vegetables since i was a child that chit is disgusting to me.

all that considered though i'm still unable to reconcile my love for living creatures and my love for meat without violating one belief and i think vegetarianism/veganism is the right path. gonna be 100x harder than no fap for me though

this thread made me hungry

gonna eat me some nice juicy steak now

You are largely confused. Humans and that which we evolved from have eaten a vegan-like diet for over 60 million years. Only in recent history have we included meat and even more recent have we included dairy. More people on earth are lactose intolerant than not. While we can consume meat, our bodies are not well equipped for it, which is leading to clogged arteries, Alzheimer's, cancer and other affluent ailments. I highly recommend researching the China Study and reading the book by the same title.

In addition, sex and eating meat cannot be compared. The need for sex can be compared to eating, both are vital for survival, but what we eat is not programmed past craving particular micronutrients. This is why a veggie burger that accurately duplicates a meat-filled burgers texture and fat context cannot be told apart in a blind study.

I highly recommend watching Cowspiracy, Forks Ovet Knives and What The Health on Netflix. For science and meta studies, follow Mic The Vegan on YouTube.

It's hilarious how vegans when pushed always turn out to be cuck sjws. Eat your retarded soy diet, just please don't feed it to your children or pets. If you're dumb enough to believe that eschewing natural evolutionary foods in favour of processed soy crap is a good idea then you have a right to be an idiot but just don't selfishly impose it on others.

You are a million steps ahead of the average American though, give yourself credit for that. If you are interested in making change, just start with baby steps. Try some almond milk in your cereal, try a veggie burger or veggie hotdog... some brands make some really good tasting stuff. Many people begin this way and largely realize they can still get all they wanted from animals, in alternatives.

Hmm, I'm at work right now so can't look into into but will check it out later when I get home.. I'm 100% sure I googled how long we've been eating meat for and everything was saying our ancestors have been eating it for millions of years but that was a while ago will google it again..

edit: meant 6 million not 60 million lol

It's hilarious how carnists when pushed always turn out to be cuck sjws. Eat your retarded flesh diet, just please don't feed it to your children. If you're dumb enough to believe that eschewing natural evolutionary foods in favour of processed meat crap is a good idea then you have a right to be an idiot but just don't selfishly impose it on others.

Fixed.

I like how they have no rebuttal when you point out that animals are still gonna be killed and used for experiments and other goods humans use, even if every person on the planet turned vegan. such a sad weak state of mind.
