    Because if we don’t have children then who are we saving the planet for?

    Because someone else will have children. Not every human needs to procreate to keep our species alive. We’re at 8 Billion and going strong.

        So someone should only care about their progeny, everyone else is ‘irrelevant’. That’s certainly a take.

          The previous poster was suggesting that they could make a choice between going vegan and remaining childless, implying that they’re both difficult to live with. Since one option was irrelevant, there should still be the capacity to take the other.

        I don’t believe my lacking of kids means anything with regards to my eating habits. If I want to go Vegan or Vegetarian, then I will, whether I have kids or not.
