Chickens

This has to be the worst argument against vegetarianism I've ever seen.

>>13949510
They grow/mature all year, and can be consistently butchered any day of the year.

>>13949523
They take about as long as vegetables to grow for slaughter

>>13949504
you do know that different vegetables grow in different seasons right?
and the grain used to feed farm animals also tend to grow yearly

>>13949526
Okay, you'll have no problem discrediting it then. Right?

>>13949538
Rehashing the same shit for the millionth time isn't worth the effort.

i wonder how many vegiterians have gone back on their ideology now that covid19 has rat fucked supply chains.

>>13949546
So...you have nothing, but will continue to hold the belief that you are somehow still correct, despite not having an argument to back your beliefs? Want to know how I know you're Liberal? lmao

>Want to know how I know you're Liberal? lmao

>>13949573
So I was right on that account as well, eh?
Let's see that makes the score 2-0 in my favor.
Do you still not have rebuttal? I've given you sufficient time to come up with one. Is it time to admit your beliefs are based on emotion and not rationality? Hmmmm?

>dude just become a vegetarian the world would be a better place if we all just ate vegitbles.
Meanwhile they vote for Hillary

>>13949605
*Biden

>>13949620
I literally cannot believe anyone is brainwashed and ignorant enough to vote for Biden. The guy is literally the definition of "candidate by committee". A new low for Liberals.

However, you can get more food from vegetables than you can ever get from meat in that time period. And meat is much more pricier.

>>13949526

>>13949792
You can't even fucking spell ""transitioning"", pathetic.

>>13949504
Not even remotely true but go off

How many kilos of grain does it take for an animal?

>he believes animals are fed grain and not fodder

>>13951643
70% of the soy grown is fed to animals but go off I guess

>>13949510
Meat comes from the store, you dumb vegan extremist. I'm not a barbarian foreigner who eats stuff that was alive when you kill it.

Not true for UK, almost 2/3 of soya is used for human consumption, both as food and other products such as makeup, but that is probably because we use grass more here? US, Australia, etc is probably higher.

And I wonder how much is grown exclusively "for" animals, instead of just being a by-product of human consumption or not fit for humans, such as the fibres that remains after oil is extracted from the bean for human consumption? From what I can see, most of the animal feed is soymeal, which is the stuff left over after processing for soy oil. Soy oil is used almost exclusively for human consumption. However, a bean is only about 20% oil, the rest is the waste that goes on to animals, which can make statistics very misleading.

For example, where I live there is a vegetable factory where about a third of the vegetable processing becomes waste, either from peels or rot/out of date or the vegetables quality not being fit for selling. And this does not include the waste already sorted by the vegetable farmers. So this waste is simply sold to the cattle farms in the area as feed. This does not mean 1/3 of all vegetables are grown to feed animals, just that capitalism has found an efficient way to make money and reduce waste at the same time.
