    Uh, I know this is a meme community but what’s with vegetarians? Surely reducing the use of animal products is better than nothing

      Better than nothing but still views animals as resources to exploit. It’s still ok with serious injustice, just a little less

        I think going full-vegan from an average diet with several meat-based meals a week is quite a drastic change. It needs some time to learn new recipes, discover new food, new restaurants, develop new patterns in live. I appreciate everyone who at least acknowledges the problem behind animal products and every small step towards vegan is a great progress. Most vegans I met, including myself, went from omnivore to flexitarian to vegetarian to vegan. But sure, hate the people that are working on themselves. If the vegetarians are being hated, they’ll for sure enjoy and continue the transition.

        Overall, it would be far better for the planet if all omnivores just reduce their consumption of animal products by 20% instead of 2% more vegans.

          Skill issue. I spontaneously went from carnist to vegan three weeks before christmas. Change butter for margarine, cows milk with one of the dozen vegan alternatives and eggs are only really necessary when baking cakes and shit not for your regular diet. Easy.

    Uh, I know this is a meme community but what’s with vegetarians? Surely still paying for animals to be exploited, tortured and killed for cheese, eggs, wool and leather is better than paying for animals to be exploited, tortured and killed for meat
