Is vegan cat food allowed?
I wrote a reply then saw your other comment and realized you’re just arguing
Pretty sure my other comment was a well thought out discussion of moral absolutism versus harm reduction. My ethics are relativist, even leaning towards moral skepticism. If you are not acquainted with these concepts then that's fine but it's a real position that many hold which creates a valid lens for why veganism (or really, all universalist ethics) tends to attract militants. Not "just arguing" which is you being dismissive. And kind of rude.
I don’t mean to be rude but you come to a post asking about good vegan subs saying why it’s wrong. Read the room
Like I said, I am just sharing a lens which attempts to analyze why these communities are like this. I am personally about 2/3 vegan, but find most vegan communities insufferable and felt like I had relevant perspective to share.
The idea of not eating meat isn't "wrong," and i never said sny such thing. Again, as a moral skeptic, that's like saying "not eating meat is blue." It's a meaninglass statement.
Then I’m sorry, your first two comments made me think otherwise. I’ve been seeing a lot of toxicity and bad actors recently.
I agree with you from a personal diet perspective and as a Buddhist, I don’t think it’s wrong. I do think there are ethical virtues and it benefits many beings from not eating animal products though :)
