/c/food is basically /c/veganfood at this point, and is all but being moderated as such with meat posts requiring NSFW tags* and pinned threads pushing veganism. /c/omnivore (or something along those lines) would be an explicitly non-vegan food community so there just doesn't have to be interaction between vegans and non-vegans wrt food posts.

* Despite members of the community expressing multiple times that we didn't want that. And the thread announcing it was locked immediately.

Sorry this borders on /c/strugglesession, but this is still the right comm for this. We shouldn't struggle session about the merits of veganism here; just discuss whether there should be an explicitly omnivore community.

    Shaming people almost never works, and you see meat literally everywhere when you leave your house.

      Yeah and it's shitty and gross and a constant reminder of systemic animal slaughter.

        Yes, but does shaming the people who eat meat have any measurable impact towards your goal of eradicating meat consumption, or is it just something to make you feel good? I've lived with two vegans and they never once bothered to shame me because it doesn't work.

            Vegans exist in a vacuum where they haven't ever shamed anyone in the past until they've met me.

      I'm not shaming anyone I'm stating a fact you need to commit violence to get meat. I also see capitalism everytime I leave my house should we ignore the violence behind that as well since it's everywhere already?

        We don't NSFW tag capitalism, nor should we. Pretending like that's not shaming someone is being purposefully obtuse.
