Every once in a while I get that ominous feeling that killing and specially making animals suffer just for me to eat meat, fish and lactose is extremely wrong, but then I kinda forget.

I kinda see myself hunting wild game though so it's weird.

    vegans have the same mortality rates as people with other diets.

    You know this is wrong and are only saying it to make yourself feel alright with eating meat and dairy.

    That and vegan diets are not recommended for children, pregnant women, and the elderly.

    You're none of those things.

      Is it?

      You’re none of those things.

      Why's it okay for kids, pregnant people, and elderly though?

        Sorry there, misread that as morality. I don't know about mortality rates and don't care about if there's a difference, that's not my argument.

        I also didn't say it was okay for children, I'm saying you're listing those things as some excuse not to switch to a plant-based diet despite not being any.

        Usually people are here because of their ethical beliefs and claiming to be "leftist" but staunchly defending eating meat is laughable.

          Okay. Well, I do care. I like to eat meat. I am going to continue to eat meat.

          Well no, I just don't get why this supposedly enlightened way of engaging with the world is bad for some groups of people.

          I mean it's only laughable if you think animals are the same as humans, which I don't. Also there's a lot of leftists you'd be invalidating with your belief that you need to be a vegan to be a leftist, like literally all its founders and philosophers.
