Being vegan is a moral base line.

It's not that i disagree, but can you elaborate on that?

Inflicting pain and suffering is bad, especially if done for selfish reasons, like pleasure (and tbh if someone were to disagree with that, I'd dont want to talk to them). Exploiting animals is exactly that, taste pleasure to be exact.

How are you going to get vitamin B12 while being vegan? As far as I know it's not possible.

By supplementing it. As should people who are not vegan, cause B12 is one of the most common deficiencies.

Counter argument, I need to eat and I can catch seafood myself without contributing towards capitalism. Isn't a full diet but its a start. Can make it into a full meal with some rice.

How is that a counter argument?

I need to eat food. You can't really just state the moral base line is not to eat

[โ€“] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don't need to eat animals tho?

Must be nice being rich enough to eat what ever you feel like having. Some of us are not so fortunate and have to make do with what is available.

Assuming fish don't have feelings, it is fine. But if fish have 0.1% the moral weight of a human being, can you say you're worth more than 1000 fish?

Rice and beans are only for the wealthy I guess.
