        So, real question, where do you draw the ethical line? Are crickets or ants subject to this discussion? Like, is eating crickets supporting their genocide? Arguably, owning and using any kind of plastic material contributes to the depopulation of species world-wide, as does modern agriculture. Is eating corn or soybeans contributing to the genocide of insects or birds? Where is the line for you?

        so you’re saying people who live in extreme cold climates like Siberia or northern Alaska/Canada can be vegans?

        edit: judging by all the downvotes and silence I’ll take that as a no…

          Do you personally live in the extreme North of Canada away from any kind of civilization or logistics?

          Also sorry for not being terminally online enough to reply to you instantly, I have been spending time with loved ones. Maybe you should unplug for a bit and give that a try too.

            I don’t see how my living environment is relevant to the point that diet is entirely dependent on your environment.

            also, your personal attacks won’t work on me. it’s disappointing you even stooped that low when all I’ve been is cordial.
