Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

KichigaiNeko, you say veganism is just a preference, but if there are ethical reasons to go vegan, such as reducing suffering of animals, reducing environmental damage, and improving health, then if that is true people SHOULD go vegan.

What part of

"It's YOUR personal preference" don't you understand?

What part of "Don't tell me what I Should" do just to make you feel less guilty.... That road leads to religion

Is this what you are advocating jg? A Vegan religion?

Fucking children is a "personal preference," too. So is cannibalism. What is the relationship between something being a personal preference and something being right or wrong?

Is it a social norm? Was slavery right when it was more popular? If slavers said "If you don't want slaves, that's your problem. Don't interfere with my personal preference."

many vegans who do not take supplements or fortified foods become anaemic from lack of b12.

A diet that requires supplements to work does not sound healthy.
I am sure if you took enough supplements you could live on a diet of dirt. Maybe you should try it and spare the lives of so many plants.

We use many unnatural things in order to bypass the consequences of living naturally. We use condoms, for example, to avoid making babies or getting diseases.

We also insist on behaviors that go against instinct in order to protect others. Plenty of men would fuck a 14 year-old girl if it was okay to do so. It is not considered okay, because though the girl can't defend herself, her feelings and sufferings are (these days) taken into account.

We do these things because we are the species that forms its world to fit its ideals-- it's what we do. So the only real impediment to a vegetarian diet, saving millions of animals from suffering, is our willingness to do so.
