Found the meat eater. You can tell because they fucking whine on and on about vegans and bacon.

Plants are really just vegan cannibals that eat their own dead.
smilingfirefly
So does that mean plants that eat meat are the vegans of the plant world? Metans?
Komrad822
If you think about it, they are eating meat in relation to themselves.

CorrectorOfSlightlyOffQuotes
I need this.
adelaide153
Yup.
isellcarpartsonebay
Because it gets All its proper nutrition. Vegans don't live past 40. Won't know for 30 years but I'm right
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
I feel so sorry for their children not getting the right nutrition growing up. It probably impacts their bodies for life.
shoutuckerfatheroftheyear
Im so confused, are you suggesting the oldest vegan is 10 years old?
NotACop1515IsMyAgeNotACop
Well they certainly act like it.
isellcarpartsonebay
That was my artistic goal. Lol
ichai
Fun fact: It is impossible to be a long-term vegan without the use of industrial agriculture. So much for meat eating being unnatural.
IronicUsername
I'd very much like to see a source for that "fact."
ichai
To not die of malnutrition as a vegan, you must consume artificial supplements. Hence the 'long-term' stipulation.
ExamRoom4
I agree
AlphaNate
Are insects meat?
mibango
For OP they are.
c4rte
That's an arachnid, but I don't believe they (or insects) are technically meat.
RoyFuckingMustang
I disagree with you respectfully.
adelaide153
I like you, lol.
CynicalPuss
Actually, no. And contrary to comment below, they're not animals...
Smudge13
All arthropods are part of the animal kingdom.
CynicalPuss
I stand corrected
adelaide153
The three kingdoms are animals, plants, and fungi.
adelaide153
Insects are in a different phylum than 'normal' animals though,which is only one taxonomic class down, so it's an easy mistake.
ireadthecommentssectionandnowimamisanthrope
You sound like an incredibly sensitive snowflake yourself. Sorry you're threatened by people eating vegetables. Good luck in life
dandelionwino
Holy god yes. "I'm bothered by the choices of people who don't in anyway affect my life" is for sure some sensitive snowflake shit.
adelaide153
I'm bothered by people that throw a shit-fit over a fucking joke.
dandelionwino
Who did that? No one I can see.
JustAMinnesotaImguy
Vegans aren't vegans because they're sensitive. They're vegans because they care about a cause. Like you and hating vegans, but important.
malbec
Ah yes, the ever-glorious cause of self righteousness and entitlement.
happyishturtle
I think it's more of a personal choice not so much about entitlement but I'm not a vegan so who am I to say. I respect their choice though
IronicUsername
Dude, you're sitting here whining about other people's dietary choices and you have the balls to complain about self-righteousness?
flamingflamingo
Fuck off.
flamingflamingo
Well said. While some people are on here fucking shitposting, other people are actually standing for something.
CorrectorOfSlightlyOffQuotes
I'd like meet a vegan that'd propose a plan for how to completely convert society to not needing animals instead of just saying stop.
flamingflamingo
They aren't just saying "stop". They've made a personal choice not to eat meat. That's their solution.
ExamRoom4
Fun fact: a significant portion of climate change can be attributed to animal agriculture. I'm not vegan, I'm just making a point.
TisNagim
A major portion of climate change can be attributed to humanity. I'm not making a point, I'm just being a cynic
ExamRoom4
Well, yeah... Animal agriculture can be attributed to humanity, so my point still stands.
bunnyrut
and why do we have animal agriculture? to feed the overpopulation of people. it all comes down to people. what a bunch of bastards.
ExamRoom4
Except that the cheapest, most nutrient dense foods are plant-based...
dandelionwino
Yep, I am not advocating for this, but if the world became vegan, hunger would be LESS of a problem. Way more resources go into meat.
TisNagim
ExamRoom4
Keep in mind I also said "cheapest"
ExamRoom4
Also, not sure how much I would trust that list. There are many more leafy greens that are better than kale, and there are no grains listed.
bunnyrut
but you do need more land to grow those greens to replace the protein and calories from the meat. rainforests are being torn down to grow 1/
bunnyrut
more of the greens people are now wanting. more land will need to be used to grow it, more water will need to be used on it as well. 2/2
ExamRoom4
More rainforests are torn down from animal agriculture than from any sustainable plant food for humans. Much of the rainforests that are 1/2
ExamRoom4
Currently torn down to use as "farmland" is actually being used to grow food for livestock, NOT humans.
bunnyrut
the truth is, this planet will not strive if people were only vegans. it would not strive if they only ate meat either. it has to be 1/
Vitalhornet89
I always found vegan to be a strange choice. Also ever notice how it's only a wealthy country thing?
MerToo
because rich idiots can afford all the vitamin supplements & trucking fuel to import stuff so their trendy eating disorder doesn't kill them
Kiore
Yeah along with technology, human rights, animal welfare, etc. All beneficial things that, as mentioned, require stability/security.
Tanishh
Dunno about vegan, but vegetarianism is pretty widespread. My boss grew up in India and can't eat meat to this day because he grew up on a
Tanishh
vegetarian diet, so his body reacts poorly to meat he ingests (even fish). His family were simple farmers.
slushpig
I guess you've never heard of India, Ethiopia, Israel, and Jamaica. All countries where there are high populations of vegans. Fucking idiot.
MerToo
I guess you've never compared the mortality rates in those shitholes, either. Fucking idiot.
thatguyfrompatagonia
when a fistful of rye is everything you have to put in your mouth , its easier to be "vegan" , Fucking idiot
veggiesmooth
India.
ShaunthePr0n
Veganism is an advanced social and economic choice, which relies on living in a state of security and relative plenty to be available.
ShaunthePr0n
People in first world countries don't NEED to eat meat to survive as, for example, tribal or nomadic peoples do. Hence they can become vegan
flamingflamingo
And actually, meat in third world countries is often a rare treat and hard to come by affordably.
winksalot
I don't NEED to eat bacon, I WANT to eat bacon.
NomsOnWorlds
I don't HAVE to to eat evrything, I GET to eat everything!
flamingflamingo
Uh, no. No it isn't. Not by a long shot.
PSIhateyou
Vegetarianism is prominent in many cultures. Ethical veganism for the moral side isn't common at all. People can't be that picky if poor.
dandelionwino
Have you ever heard of India? Tibet? Nepal? Plants are cheaper than meat everywhere BUT first world countries (come on, you know this).
flamingflamingo
Absolutely they can. I know someone who's barely scraping by and has been vegan for thirty years.
PSIhateyou
What country? And that sounds more like an anecdotal fallacy with 1 example rather than a trend...
flamingflamingo
East coast US. He cooks, a lot. And yes, it's definitely an anecdote, but unlike this thread I'm not pretending to know more than I do.
malbec
Veganism is entirely a symptom of entitlement
dandelionwino
That's pretty dismissive of a practice that forms the basis of many people's religious beliefs.
ExamRoom4
A significant portion of climate change can be attributed to animal agriculture. I don't really see how considering that is "entitlement."
IronicUsername
Your opinion is entirely a symptom of retardation.
flamingflamingo
My friend's been vegan for over 30 years and he's fucking destitute.
AlrightKeepYourSecrets
Veganism isn't a bad thing. It can be a healthier choice for sure. It's just the ultra hipster veganfags that won't shut up that you hate
zeradeth
It's not entitlement. I was born into a first world country, I'm not entitled to any of the shit I have or the privileges I enjoy.
vickyyoublonde
That's a bit rude of you.
malbec
You're not disagreeing with me...
vickyyoublonde
But that doesn't mean I agree either. I get it was a joke, but it's a tired out joke IMO.
frejathorshammer
My dad's vegan diet enables him to stay off expensive heart medication and has improved his quality of life enormously, so fuck off
Littledragonroar
That's awesome! It's a fantastic thing! But veganism is impractical in many folks' economic situations. It's moral, but it can be expensive.
SomeMoistenedBint
A vegan diet is not necessary, though. They prescribed that to limit his saturated fat and cholesterol.
frejathorshammer
Also, that diet is fully supported and monitored by his doctors, who are MDs and not hippie quacks
PaintChipsandScotch
Let's just add in that it is an odd choice to make without some sort of medically backed motivation and individual initiative.
ExamRoom4
A significant portion of climate change can be attributed to animal agriculture. Is caring about the planet an odd choice?
GagesFries
Why can't we just respect each others choices and be nice? Unless the choice is murder, that's a no no.
tullojs
But meat is murder
HorseGirlErection
"Live and let live unless someone's being malicious." The problem is that people don't agree on what is and isn't malicious.
Dvicemuse
I'd say rape might be another choice im not fond of
Zachakx
Because that offends some people, so they call the other person sensitive.
JakobThor
Simple if you're a vegan then you're a ducking wuss.
SassyCanadian
You base that on...?
PorneliusHubertII
if you rub your personal choice all up in my face then i gain the right to mock you for it.
PorneliusHubertII
dont tell me that you are a vegan and i cannot make fun of your life choices.
SassyCanadian
So, what you are saying is that any life choices that differ from yours, should be mocked?
PorneliusHubertII
nope....just that i have the right to mock if you feel the need to share
davepermen
Even if they're ethically, environmentally, financially and or in other ways better? Especially then. ;)
PorneliusHubertII
i would only mock if they were being condescending about it.
WirenutsInYourButts
Well they'd say we're murdering tasty animals. In any case, eat what you like folks, just don't impose it on others that feel differently.
Annutty
well about 60% are ethical vegans, by my estimation...the rest are health vegans...and like 0.1% are weirdo spiritual vegans (i was one :P)
chupacabraattack
The right to peruse happiness unless that pursuit infringes upon others rights. Tricky grey area.
davepermen
Around 60billion get killed a year. Its an impressive mass industry. I understand those not liking that to impose it. Nothing like it.
malbec
Meat is murder.... But vegetarianism is genocide
LMabee
Seriously man... You sound like you got dumped by a vegetarian / vegan lady and you need to lash out.
Smudge13
What?
malbec
What?
Smudge13
How is vegetarianism genocide?
ModernVoodooApostasy
Why the hell do you care so much?
NomsOnWorlds
Bacon is love.
ProtheanGH
Think we found the vegan
flamingflamingo
Thank god someone else is as sick of this as I am. It's getting to the point where ironic jokes are becoming genuine slander.
IronicUsername
Honestly, this one might have been amusing if not for the stupid "hurr durr I'm so edgy" title that tells me OP takes this seriously.
Kiore
I am genuinely curious about that. I think we do tend to resent people who make ethical choices we're not willing to make ourselves. <1>
Kiore
You see similar attitudes towards people who exercise, eat well in general, give up smoking, etc, from those who don't. Shame really. <2>
Kiore
I have plenty of bad habits - including eating meat - but I respect the people who are doing better.
1metalnation
I have no issues with veganism, my issue is the vast majority of vegans are so aggressive and judgemental about other people's lifestyle
Kiore
That simply isn't true. Like any group, there's a vocal minority.
iospace
Because nom nom nom.
PunishMentor
Comon now, that's just funny
ModernVoodooApostasy
Maybe in 2004 when I first saw it.
AlrightKeepYourSecrets
First for me man, and ajoke's a joke. Take one, they're free!
PunishMentor
Ok well its great pro and anti vegan satire, and reposting is not the complaint you originally made so...
ModernVoodooApostasy
Simplified: The most annoying aspect of WOO BACON culture on the internet is the constant reposts framed as fresh. It's boring.
PunishMentor
Not sure what all that meant, but you seem rather agitated. Good day.
