    You do realize that plants are quite sentient, right? They communicate with one another, they feel pain, and even help one another. Trees will use mycelium to talk to one another if one tree needs help they will. So great work trading one sentient suffering for another. Pat yourself on the back for partaking in groupthink and keep feeding the ego that you’re doing any good for the environment.

      Meat requires more plants than directly eating them. So if you really cared about the plants you would go vegan.

      You’re filling out my Carnist bingo sheet proving once again that you were never vegan.

        this isn’t true. most of what is fed to livestock is crop seconds and industrial waste. I don’t eat corncobs or corn stalks, or soy cake. but if I eat a pig that has been fed those, no more plants have been harmed.

        It’s just so hard for your brain to comprehend maybe someone escaped the fear mongering and ego tickling of veganism. Yes, of course I had the lentils, tofu, seitan everything (because wheat gluten use is endless) and everything else. Had to eat throughout the whole day just to feel sustenance. But as said before, most of the foods targeted to vegans are overly processed. And way to ignore the fact that plants are probably crying as they’re ripped from their roots and start releasing toxins as defense mechanism.

          That’s literally projection, as you were just fearmongering about plant-based alternatives.

          And way to ignore the fact that plants are probably crying as they’re ripped from their roots and start releasing toxins as defense mechanism.

          Ignores the fact meat requires more plants and that plants do not have a central nervous system to process pain.
