Or if he doesn't care about pets and does care about meat ever being in my kitchen he can have an unopened can of whatever I find in the pantry? So, just beets right now.

Because they're supposed to mean the same thing. Historically, "vegetarian" and "vegan" were the same thing, then people wanted to be vegetarian in regards to not eating meat but didn't want to give up either fish, eggs, or dairy, so they made up sub-groups for those people and called vegans "strict vegetarians," and now there's so many non-strict vegetarians that it's easier to just refer to ovo and lacto vegetarians as vegetarians and actual vegetarians as vegans

>> No.6194523

That's not really true, the word vegetarian covered both since the moment it was coined in English and both ovo-lacto vegetarians and strict vegetarians were amongst the members of the earliest of the philosophical and religious movements that restarted the practice in Europe after the enlightenment.

Quinoa can by very irritating to your gut and cause a high inflammatory response. Too much citrus leads to increased pH and causes ulcers in your stomach.

Yeah I know a few of those. They're the exception, I have absolutely no problem with the sort of vegan who isn't pushy about it. I mean if we're talking about food or going out to eat its find to tell me about it, as long as you aren't making an active attempt to convince me to change.

There are no "other vegans." The behaviours you claim these "other vegans" exhibit imply introversion. By the very nature of being vegan or vegetarian, they can't be introverts.

Introverts, by definition, don't draw attention to themselves. The whole point of veganism and vegetarianism is to use diet as a podium from which to speak down to others; to be the focus of attention. Whether the desire for this focus is to ultimately sway opinion against the consumption of animal products or simply for the attention itself, the whole vegan/vegetarian movement is based on seeking attention.

This is not something introverts do. There are no introverted vegans and there never can be. There's more evidence for David Icke's batshit theories than there is for the existence of the ever-elusive vegan introvert.

Those who argue against a deeply ingrained social practice are always loud and seen as loonies and nuisances. I mean that's the nature of trying to incite change.

Doesn't help matters that in the case of veganism, the vegans actually know about the treatment going on in CAFOs, whereas the average person does not. So the situation seems much more urgent to the person who knows. We have two separate issues of "should we eat animals" and "should we give even a single shit about how animals are treated"

Although I will admit that the stricter you get with veganism, the more you descend down a slope of not wanting to hurt anything ever. The end of that line is, I suppose, killing yourself. So of course vegans seem insane.

Vegan just means you don't eat animal products, so quietly being vegan still means you're vegan.

As for the people actively trying to get others to be vegan, yeah you're right. They have to be extroverts.

Some people might say that the best way to get others to change is to quietly, politely set an example. Sometimes that's true, since annoying people will cause them to hate you and, by extension, everything you stand for.

But if we're talking about, say, improving the living standards of farm animals, force and loudness would be the only way. It's like the cops forcing someone to stop beating their dog. The cops politely asking the guy won't do shit.

Though making up less than a tenth of a single percent of the country by the end of 2013, vegans are demanding government stimulus monies for vegan supermarkets.

Also, Buddhists are not vegan or even vegetarian. Hindus and Sikhs in India are actually more likely to be vegetarian than Buddhists are. While not part of India, Sri Lanka is a deshi country. They are also 70% Buddhist. Vegetarianism is far, far, FAR less common in Sri Lanka (about 1% of the population) than in India (about 20% of the population).

Not at all.
The vegan philosophy was born only within the last 70 years or so in Britain by Donald somethingorother, the person who coined the word 'vegan' in the first place and founded the tenets of the movement. The official mantra of the movement, and yes "veganism" is indeed a movement and has a mantra, is "Promoting ways of living free from animal products for the benefit of people, animals and the environment."
The key word here is "promoting."
You can't promote something by quietly enjoying it on your own.

This isn't a "no true Scotsman" sort of thing because the guy who coined the word, defined and started the movement has WoG rights on the subject and clearly, WoG states that the movement is meant to promote change on a global scale.

I'd argue that they arn't ethically superior.

Animals raised, albeit not always entirely humane conditions, with a constant supply of food. With a lack of predators trying to kill them, with mostly a lack of parasites. Generally to a decent age. To be killed swiftly once mature.

If vegans and vegetarians had their way these animals would never of had a life and the environment that they inhabited would be used by wild animals which mostly don't survive into adulthood, suffer from diseases, parasites and generally a slow and painful death.

To be fair, Buddhists did inherit the ahimsa concept for the vedic religion just like the other dharmic religions did. It's just that most branches only tend to follow it strictly within the sanghas. So it's not entirely wrong to associate vegetarianism with Buddhism (though generally vegetarianism is more important in Chinese buddhism and its offshoots than Indian buddhism.)

It's just that in most cases it's more of a clerical thing, and usually in China and other Mahayana areas rather than Theravada areas like India and Sri Lanka.

They're literally enslaved by their predators. They live like 1/5 of their natural lifespan at best, and it's hard to say they have an easy time and don't have to worry about being preyed on in childhood when we have veal as a product and male chicks get thrown into blenders or suffocated within hours of their birth. The only times they don't have tons of parasites is when they're fed mountains of antibiotics as part of their feed (which has created a massive public health threat due to antibiotic resistant bacteria). Their feed regularly includes the blood of their own species (used as a B12 source). Diseases of squalor and insanity from the crowded conditions are common.

If you want to beat vegetarians/vegans in an argument, stay far away from engaging in ethical arguments. When it comes to ethics and certain other arguments, they have an advantage over people who eat meat; they developed their opinion contrary to social norms and usually ended up changing their ways later in life, whereas people who eat meat were generally born and raised with the opinion that meat eating is perfectly fine in every way, making their arguments for meat eating more defensive than rational, being basically "I'll say whatever I can think of to justify my habit and won't entertain the idea of changing what I'm already used to"

Also, from a biological point of view, altruism is only viable if the cost (or lost benefit) of said altruism is proportional to the gain for the beneficiary multiplied by how closely related the two are. This can be extrapolated to social relations in the context of human society to contain pets or species able to pass the mirror test.

I don't put too much weight on the mirror test because the implication is the animal is interacting with the world primarily through sight. like a dog identifies things by how they smell, not how they look.

I am mostly sympathetic to your post, but this point in particular seems irrelevant:

"They also are unable to articulate their experiences and motivations in a coherent way."

Coherent to humans, in other words. They are plenty of nuances and modalities in animal communication that science has yet to make sense of, but that doesn't mean that animals don't express their motives and experiences in a way coherent to members of their own kind.
If a higher, more intelligent alien kind came down to Earth, and we were unable to understand their mode of communication, that would also mean that they were unable to convey their experiences "in a coherent way", even though that says nothing about our relative standing in terms of social complexity.

That "the group we're oppressing have no rights of any kind, we're better than them, they're dumb and don't deserve life" concept has been used for thousands of years for humans as well and I don't find it to be a compelling moral belief. I'll go ahead and stop arguing though because I don't think it'll go anywhere, and it's just following what I originally pointed out, which is that most arguments in favor of meat eating, particularly ethical arguments, are more about justifying a pre-existing viewpoint rather than critically examining the system and looking at it honestly.

Well, I have to eat to live, so I have to kill something. But I wouldn't go around preaching that the line I have made for myself is an undeniable fact.

If we want to try to quantify this, I think it's the most moral to eat creatures who cannot feel pain, seeing as they lack nervous systems. "Lower" farm animals clearly feel pain, and emotions. So that's roughly the same category as myself. I'm not going to insist that eating them (or abusing them, since you can treat inferior animals however you want right?) is okay just because they're less intelligent than me.

Well, I know what pain feels like as a creature with a brain, and I know it's bad.

False, abuse for the sake of abuse is a at best a sign of sadism, a flaw of character. At worst it will change the abuser for the worse.

I feel no moral obligations whatsoever to an animal that would never come to my aid and hasn't even close to the level of self awareness I have.

The quality of my finite life would drop by an unacceptable amount if I were to stop eating meat. If I personally kill my meat by lashing it until it collapses, that would change things. I have killed and butchered my meat before and it wasn't 'fun', but it didn't really bother me either. I have seen the video's of shithole butcheries, and while the animals are treated callously, it's not done with malice. Even so, I prefer my meat to have died with the least amount of suffering possible.

Comparing the consumption of non-human animals to cannibalism to me is crass and vile. Except for minor differences, other humans ARE me. The mentally ill and retarded are still loved by other human beings. The thought of eating another human fills me with a revulsion I believe is hardwired into the normal human mind. It might not be entirely rational, but that doesn't change the fact that cannibalism would give me no pleasure whatsoever, while looking at a cow on an empty stomach awakens primal urges in me.

if plants do in fact feel pain, and you want to reduce plant suffering, a good way to do so would be to cut the animal products out of your diet. fewer plants need to be grown and killed to feed a human than to feed a cow to feed a human.

They use chemical communication. They don't have brains, but they do respond to stimuli.

No. It's just that I view lifestock as little more than vegetables, compared to highly intelligent animals, pet animals or humans.

I feel no ethical obligation to cows, pigs or chickens, other than refraining from cruelty for cruelty's sake. Not because of the animals, but because of what it can do to a person.

When you say that animals can reason on a level comparable to humans, they just can't communicate in a comprehensive way, I will call you delusional and point out plants repond to stimuli and communicate too. A plant that is being eaten warns it's neighbours, who immediately start bolstering their defences. You could argue plants feel pain and fear, just not exactly the same way animals do.

You are right, I don't care about the suffering of either meat or vegetables. I know the higher-functioning an organism is, the more capable they are of consciously esperiencing pain and suffering. I don't need to feel secure, I know what I am. I know the most noble thing to do is to minimize suffering.

But I don't care enough for beings that are genetically so little like me, who are so far beneath me intellectually, who have no friends or family that love them who I can in turn relate to.

The suffering I spare those animals does not outweigh the joy I get from consuming their delicious flesh during my finite existence. I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't believe I'll be judged. This is all the time I'll ever have and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend it eating soy instead of steak!
