Reply to comment by fortmis in where my culture lovers at? by zoom_zip

some people like to speak up on behalf of billions of oppressed creatures who are unnecessarily slaughtered every year in a cycle of endless exploitation that is one of the fundamental wheels of civilisation driving us towards extinction

others like to cry because a vegan was mean to them on the internet

who’s to say which side is right

Wouldn't it be more effective to work towards shutting down shitty food chains that drive the meat industry, instead of trying to convince individual people to go vegan? People will eat what tastes good and is cheap. Almost everywhere I've been, there is barely any yummy vegan/vegetarian food that doesn't cost a bajillion dollars. The cheapest most accessible food is fast food burgers.

i don’t really feel like it’s my responsibility to convert individuals to veganism and i don’t really care if people do or don’t. i just treat them with the hostility that i feel their actions deserve.

beans and rice? lentils? potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes? pasta?

ya if i'm cooking at home lol you don't need to list vegan food to me. Besides, I think most people cooking at home are probably more likely to try non-meat dishes. I figure the issue is with people buying meat as restaurant/take out food. Especially when it's the cheapest option.
