i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.

going vegan has not made any difference

veganism wasn’t invented until the mid 20th century

so I can assume you are just downvoting me regardless of the truth of my claims?

anyone reading this can draw their own conclusions about who is being intellectually honest.

what i said is true. you don’t seem to be able to accept reality.

that’s the whole thrust of the article. only an intellectual dishonest reading could find that’s not the point.

no, they’re not. all the people doing that are paid long before most people buy meat.

Why are vegans in particular given blame for crop deaths, when it isn’t vegans who are doing the farming?

and most people don’t slaughter animals. which, by the way, is one of my firmly held beliefs: we can’t blame people for something they didn’t do.

the linked four part essay excuses crop deaths

this doesn’t debunk every crop deaths argument. it only addresses an argument in the form “since animals die in crop harvesting, vegans shouldn’t eat crops (or they would be hypocrites”.

but the issue of crop deaths actually points to something else: people don’t care if animals die in the production of their food. vegans claim to care but will eat food covered in pesticides and harvested with threshers. the mental gymnastics they go through, like writing a four part essay about how these animal deaths are actually ok, shows that they, too, are ok with animals dying in the production of their food.
