Why is a hamburger 2 dollars but a veggie burger 6? Last I checked it was easier to grow black beans than a cow.
F'real though, in India there are compulsory vegans, but in the US there are compulsory carnists. If that's not a perfect distillation of the world economy, I dunno what is.
"Sorry you're poor, please restrict yourself to beans and rice"
Is the core of the privileged diet mindset. It always comes back to "anyone can afford to live on the most basic food components possible, as long as they don't eat meat!"
As a form of individual consumer choice, sure. As a frame to understand the exploitation of animals by humans I think it's very much compatible with a universal application of socialist theory.
I agree. I’m talking about the self identification of veganism which is based on the ethical non-consumption of meat. Even if one were to not consume meat, but didn’t do it for ethical reasons. They are not considered vegan. That’s a toxic culture.
I’m all in favor of using activism to end animal suffering, but the narrative is constantly fixated on personal choice.

Subsidizes for meat/ veggie burgers are usually made on a smaller scale cuz less demand

This. The difference is a veggie diet vs a "vegetarian" diet. Call it a thing, label it, commodify it - you've just made a billion bux.

I'm not broke but I won't turn down free meet. The violence happens during commodification, not consumption
Veganism is such lib shit. The ultimate personality responsibility cult in the world.
