A place for discussing all things vegan ethics, politics & health
Meat consumption is ruining the environment. - Pollutes rivers - Forests cleared for livestock - Causes soil degradation - Massive inefficiency - Major contributor to global warming.
The most common and well known argument is the argument from marginal cases. Loosely speaking, the argument contends that animals as sentient as retards should have the same moral status
Morality is relative - Science, logic, mathematics are all based on axioms that are not proven, what is different about morality and moral axioms? Think this argument through before arguing for it, it is not as simple as you think. (most philosophers are moral realists and believe moral propositions can in fact be true)
Meatcucks please realise the difference between normative ethics (what we ought to do) and descriptive ethics (what beliefs do people have). Normative ethics is what is being discussed with regards to veganism and morality.
e.g. - people should not eat animals for x reason (relevant normative claim) - people eat animals for y reason (irrelevant descriptive claim)

Okay, yeah sure senpai, upvoteed I honestly think that the entire meat industry is inefficient and actually extremely harmful to our environment, but the shit on the picture you uploaded is actually retarded. Most vegans/vegetarians are people who care about their macros, their calorie intake and more often than not exercise daily. The majority of the population are "meat eaters" and the majority of the population don't fucking care about their health. Do you seriously think that a fucker that smokes cigarettes like a chimney, eats a shit ton of sugar, has never even heard of calorie counting and thinks that a 5 minute walk from his car to his house is enough exercise for a week to live a long and healthy life. Like cmon faggot, you can't be so naive. >inb4 took the bait

Putting all the nutrition to one side- I'd like to hit you with a few facts about animal welfare. I'm a vet student (year off graduating) in the UK: I've seen farms with terrible welfare, I've seen farms with good welfare.
I thought for shits and giggles I'd have a flick through your "honest advertising for omnivores".
1. Male calves are now worth something - they are typically sent to market these days as long as the farm isn't down with TB as they are worth something. 2. You are aware that we now mostly use sex'ed semen now for AI? This not only gives the farmer the right gender calves to grow his herd, but also reduces the count of number 1. 3. If a farmer dragged a calf off as aggressively as he did on the video the cow would quite honestly kill him. When we remove calves from cows you have to be extremely careful: they're not dumb, if you treat the calf roughly they will go for you. 4. We're now selling calves, ala number 1, so why would we treat them like tripe? 5. 42 seconds in- that's disbudding (aka removing the horn for the safety of the farmer). Disbudding legally has has to be done with a nerve block- and given that's not a young calf it has to be a double nerve block. (Think like the nerve block a dentist gives you before he pulls a tooth). Yes it bleeds, the horn has a decent blood supply- but please don't equate bleeding with pain. We typically cauterise the stump and give analgesics with older cattle. 6. Why are 99.9% of the slaughter videos on here halal? 7. Slaughter house antics of throwing animals around. All slaughter houses in the UK certainly have to have a licensed vet on site to be able to slaughter anything- they'd be shut down within seconds if those antics were saw.
Animal welfare (certainly in the UK anyway) for beef/lamb/pigs is fantastic over here (birds I will admit still get a very rough ride). Yes the industry has issues, but propaganda like this is a load of PETA rubbish.
Parker Fisher
I can tell this comic was made in Europe seeing as how this is the halal method of slaughter and western Europe is basically an Islamic Caliphate now.
Oliver Brooks
If you believe moral franchise extends to animals you're retarded
Asher Rodriguez
Learn to make vegan curries and chili. You can pack them with beans and lentils and wholesome veg and healthy kickass spices out the twat for some clean gains. Google will give you some awesome recipes.
Joshua Collins
Link some of these exciting studies.
Jaxson Campbell
>Why are 99.9% of the slaughter videos on here halal? I assume you mean slaughter involving stunning and having their throats cut? That doesn't necessarily make it halal. Halal would require a blessing. Non-halal meat is often slaughtered in the same way, without the blessing.
>they'd be shut down within seconds if those antics were saw. Were seen. This just sounds like you're deluding yourself. Plenty of footage exists. It's clearly not isolated.
Asher Richardson
Thx mate could never eat veggies even with ranch

This one's make you feel bad as it is one kill a meal, not a good deal at all but when you take into account meat utilization: one hot pocket goes for 150g, thats with the bread and cheese and maybe package included, lets count it as all meat even; 20 of those weight 3kg A cow weight averages 720 kg, could be even fatter seeing its use as industrial meat, lets stick to average still Lets say 70kg of the 720 is not edible even as burger meat, we get 4.500 sandwiches per cow would I feel comfortable if one cow got stabbed for four thousand and fifth hundred sandwiches? I wouldn't think twice.

I'm considering trying a vegan diet for around 6 months to see how it goes, I'm already eating like vegans do except I also have some fish and eggs in there as well from time to time, is there any youtube or instagram pages oriented to lifters?
plus, are the Venus brothers natty? one seems like he is the other not so much
Tyler Garcia
Halal requires a prayer to be said and for the animal to be killed by cutting the throat without stunning. The cut is made with a sharp, non-cerrated knife in two immediate strokes.
The only exception is with hunting, where the prayer and cut is made after the kill or to kill a wounded animal.

i did that in college. ended up in the hospital and nearly died thanks to nutritional deficiencies wven though the hospital nutritionist said my diet should have been fine. literally cannot eat plants now without shitting blood.
Luke Martin
well I dont plan on undereating
I think while vegan diet isn't superior to any other diet based on plants that also includes animal products, I want to find out if it stands as healthy as the other one and as efficient on building mscle and strength if proper nutrition is maintained

/pol/ is having a fucking meltdown from "their boards" being spammed with vegan posts. They've got probably 10 people literally spamming threads about "soyboys". They're literally just giving vegans ammo considering soy phytoestrogen has zero negative effects on testosterone. They're also spamming our discord on /b/ attempting to weaponize autism. Kek. -Lex0

Andrew Taylor
I mean vegans doesn't really pass any semblance of masculinity as a whole sure soy might not affect you, but when a movement turns into a faggot magnet they become undesirable by association we got daily soy threads here so its nothing board specific
Carson Nguyen
You haven't seen /pol/ in the last two days I assume. There's 2-3 threads every few minutes.
Vegans don't really have an archetype associated with them. Most people associate a tv character or think of faggots when they think of vegans. Most vegans are either slim or jacked, or fat. Same with omnivores. The differences are minimal other than moral and a bit higher testosterone on the veganside kek.
Bentley Young
I don't really give a fuck about meat, it's actually really inconvenient to store and prepare. But what about milk and eggs? I'm never going to stop drinking dairy or eating eggs no matter what.
Cooper Sullivan
not a vegan myself, but I started getting my eggs from "ethical sources". Local people who have chicken or just eggs that claim to be from chickens that aren't put through hell. I figure if I can afford it then I'll get the option that causes less pain.

Carson Walker
Okay, fellow judgmental douchebags. I think I may have finally focused my diet autism to the point where I have something close to an ideal vegan diet. Rate me? Breakfast: >small serving of beans with potatoes, rice, or a tortilla >oatmeal with dried fruit, walnuts, almond slivers, and almond milk with a little brown sugar and soy milk >small glass of fortified soy milk >small piece of fruit
Lunch and Dinner: >2-4 servings of various veggies at both meals >some kind of leafy green vegetable or some kind of cruciferous vegetable at both meals, both included in at least one meal >some kind of sugary "veggie" like cucumber or carrots or squash or sweet potatoes or radishes or something, at one or both meals >some kind of "complete protein" at one or both meals (rice and beans, tofu, tempeh, pb&j, hummus and pita, edamame, nuts and bread, whatever) >some kind of grain or bready thing at one or both meals (pasta, bread, pita, tortillas) >some kind of starch that isn't grain at one or both meals (rice, quinoa, corn, legumes, potatoes) >some kind of legume or bean product at one or both meals, not including soy >one or two servings of fruit at each meal, and melon every single day >small glass of fortified soy or almond milk at each meal
Snacks: >fruit >at least one serving of nuts or seeds every day >green and hibiscus tea throughout the day
A Few Times A Week: >antioxidant smoothie with berries and leafy greens and mango and flaxseeds in it >various mushrooms >chiles >something fermented >usually one ridiculously high-protein, high-calorie meal a week full of pasta and soy products and bread and beans and seitan and noodles and shit that sticks to your ribs like that >seaweed snacks I think I've included everything at this point. Let me know if I've missed something.

I've really been thinking about getting some hens since I know a neighbor a few blocks from me growing up had them and it didn't seem so bad but of course I need to figure out what kind of investment taking care of them is first. Regardless it's in the plan.

I have helped give birth to most of the bacon and steaks i eat. Animals are just that animals, and they are pretty delicious my dude.
Henry Sanders
Vegans are 1% of the population. A lot of the vegan lifters/athletes attribute veganism for helping them push further. I guarantee you as we see more and more vegans, as the vegan population is growing around the world rapidly, that we'll see more vegans breaking records in the next 5-10 years.

(You) are not vegan. (You) are a shitty refugee troll from (YOU HAVE TO GO BACK). (You) are probably chowing down on all-meat pizza, or a bacon cheeseburger, or Hot Pockets, or chicken tendies (if mom will make them for you) while you were posting this drivel. (You) are wasting our valuable time with this shitty attempt at 'trolling' you keep trotting out. (You) are, as usual, a gigantic faggot, and someone should rape your face. (You) should, for your crime of Cancerousness, become An Hero, so no one has to see your ugly-ass face ever again. (You) have failed. Leave. Now.

If a vegan diet was natural, it wouldnt require supplements: The fact you cannot get B12 in a natural, unprocessed, way as a vegan proves their diet is insufficient for humans.
Thomas Adams
discord link is expred whats the new one?
Thomas Sanchez
B12 is the only thing that needs to be supplemented. Do proper research before saying anything else because they're all unnecessary. B12 is supplemented because we wash our food, your meat animals are fed B12 supplements as well so you're supplementing either way.
Hudson Baker

The prayer only needs to be a recording of a prayer which can be played on loop. And stunning isn't the issue, the issue is that the "stunning" process as we know it now isn't a stun, but a quick execution. That's what the islamics have an issue with
