Memes

This meme changed zero minds but made a few vegans feel pretty special.

What three animals everyone else eating? We’ve got chickens, ducks, pigeons, quail, geese, cranes, turkeys, cows, deer, elk, moose, antelope, armadillo, beaver, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, lynx, bear, bison, caribou, goat, musk ox, pronghorn, sheep, muskrat, opossums, pigs, porcupine, rabbits, squirrels, pheasant, chukars, and tons of tasty insects to choose from.

I eat meat AND vegetables

I don't care for debate so I'm just gonna share this tofu stir-fry recipe I like. I sub gochujang for the sambal oelek and skip the peanut garnish

You can eat both vegetables and dead animals at the same time. We call that a stew.

Is it vegan to sit on that high horse?

Sorry, was I supposed to eat them while they are alive?

I'm French so I'd eat Kermit too.

A lot of people in the comments can't seem to make the distinction between what they have been fed since they were little and that they are used to, and what is good, or tastes good.

Who's gonna fall for this ragebait?

There's more than three affordable animals lmao. Even if you count fish as one you still have crawfish, shrimp, fish, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, venison, turkey, etc. This also doesn't even account for the million ways to prepare the meats

So you love plants? Name all plats then!

Man, here's the thing. I can't digest fermenting ogliosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols.

So no beans, mushrooms, onions garlic wheat rye or barley, apples, apricots, most berries, etc etc etc.

I also lead a "fairly" active lifestyle against my own wishes. So where does my protein come from? Meat. Chicken, eggs, and hard tofu.

If I cut meat from my diet, I'm eating three meals a day of hard tofu. What even is the point of life, then?

1. There's more than three animals that you can eat.

2. You don't even eat all 80000 of those plants.

3. Plants make excellent side dishes, unfortunately I can't spend a third of my day shoveling quinoa and lentils by the bucket load just to get enough protein, so meat it is.

I cut beef out of my diet almost entirely, both because it's unsustainable for the ecology (cattle require more resources per pound than any other animal) and because red meat isn't as good for you. Also it's expensive.

"You ever plow a field? To plant the quinoa or sorghum or whatever the hell it is you eat. You kill everything on the ground and under it.

You kill every snake, every frog, every mouse, mole, vole, worm, quail… you kill them all.

So, I guess the only real question is: how cute does an animal have to be before you care if it dies to feed you?”

80k plants and vegans only eat like 20 anyway

Maybe it goes to show you just how yummy those 3 animals are?

capitalism does not beget a wide range of meat for the average household. people eat "the same 3 dead animals" because it's what's affordable and even that's becoming less and less true

I resent that. I eat more than 3 species of animals.
