    Fruit is perfectly wholesome and natural though. Except they aren’t…

    Corn is basically a bulge of semen because of how humans have bred it.

    Bananas are incapable of reproducing. All bananans you find in the supermarket are clones. If men were to die out, so would the common (cavendish) banana.

    Cows are bred for milk production. If it wasn’t for men, their milk production would be very different. It’s just as natural as a banana.

      Cows are just as unnatural as bananas, but the farming of animals is much more cruel, unnecessary, and destructive to the environment

              Extinction would be a kindness for domesticated livestock species (or subspecies…whatever they are classified as). It would break the endless nightmare cycle of factory farming.

                It’s factory farming because at this point if it weren’t for raising animals for slaughter, we would have hunted pretty much everything to extinction. Vegan might be less harmful (aside that we evolved to eat meat and a vegan diet is hard to get right) but it isn’t without death. All those plants kill loads of insects and field mice and birds and rabbits. Everyone still gets a bit of blood on their hands.

                  A vegan diet is not hard to get right. Not at all. The only hard part is that most people are not vegan.

                    What one of the annoying things about vegans trying to convert others into their diets is claiming it “isn’t that hard”. I don’t know if y’all are trying to gaslight other people, or gaslight yourselves. Vegetarian is “not that hard”. Vegan is troublesome, more expensive, and much harder to get all the B12 and calcium and iron and fatty acids etc that you need to stay fit and healthy. It’s a pain in the ass to avoid anything from animals and get everything you you need that humans evolved to obtain from animals.

                    Meanwhile, a regular 3 topping slice of pizza contains every single thing the body needs. As an omnivore you’ll get it all on accident. A vegetarian will get it all with a touch of effort. Vegans…
