    Aggressively trying to force their ideas on people is obnoxious. People should be free to make their own choices. If people want to try vegetarianism, be a resource for them. Don’t shove it down their throats and brag about your superior moral values. It makes other vegetarians look bad.

    No one cares if you don’t eat meat. As for lashing out I believe you already had that covered. And I can give you the greatest plot twist of this post. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 25 years; I’ve been vegan for over 7 at one point.

    Your argument is completely invalid. Don’t make me look bad because you want to brag about your convictions. This is why I dislike my fellow vegetarians.

      Why are the animal’s choices never considered in this equation? Freedom is something the west places a high value on, but it’s generally agreed that freedom should never go so far as to harm others, yet your “freedom” to choose what to eat is resulting in a horrifying sort of perpetual holocaust.

      Why is your fleeting sensory pleasure (something that can be had just as easily from plants) more important than the entire lives and wellbeing of all the animals you paid to have killed?

        Sapience vs sentience. Hope that helps your understanding!
