    As I already stated, I’m not getting baited into a morality debate.

    If you don’t like eating meat- don’t eat it, but leave others alone about. It’s not your business what they choose to eat.

    And WTF? This has nothing to do with beating kids, or raping children, and I don’t appreciate the disgusting false equivalency you feel you need to use in order to make a point.

    So instead, here’s an actual equivalency:

    Imagine people going around and telling you that you have to do something you don’t want to do because of their belief. Like for instance….

    forced birth.

    You are actually telling people what they should or should not do, based on how you morally feel about something.

    What I’m suggesting, is simply a dietary version of pro choice. You should be free to eat how you feel you need to in order to satisfy your needs, as well as your moral code- provided it remains within the limits of the law. EVERYONE should have this freedom. Even if you or I don’t like it.

    So maybe leave people alone about it and put that energy towards something that has a better chance of success

      I dont understand your point. Everyone DOES have the freedom you are talking about and noone is debating that. Why are you pretending like thats not the case?

      In some areas men are allowed to beat their wives. Youre still allowed to critisize them for it, and you should be allowed to.

      Also, regarding your actual equivalency, everyone is allowed to critisize women for getting abortions. But you shouldnt be allowed to deny it. Thats the difference. Were talking about the same thing over and over, youre just not seeing it are you?

                Apology accepted. And thanks for proving my point. You can’t leave people alone and you feel that you’re entitled to tell others what to eat based on your own personal belief regardless if they ask you for your opinion.

                You are literally the quintessential obnoxious vegan that people talk about- that I used to defend.

                Enjoy your evening.

                  Im not vegan, why would you assume that? Not even vegetarian. I am simply saying people should be allowed to criticize others based on their moral beliefs. What you are saying is “people should stop criticizing me for my behaviour because I think I am morally correct”. Thats not how the world works.
