    Can anyone explain to me why being vegan is the new cool, while being vegetarian is equal to eating meat without eating meat? Like, when I’m looking for vegetarian recipes, I only see vegan recipes, no vegetarian ones anywhere.

        In my country, supermarkets aren’t allowed to sell eggs from caged hens. Only eggs from hens raised outdoors. There are four categories of eggs marked with numbers:

        • 0: eggs from caged hens, not sold anywhere legally.
        • 1: eggs from uncaged hens but raised indoors, very difficult to find.
        • 2: eggs from uncaged hens and raised outdoors, easy to find.
        • 3: eggs from uncaged hens, raised outdoors and feed with natural food, without pesticides and shit, easy to find.

        By the way, US is neither the center of the world nor the only country in the world. Sorry to say that, but I think it’s necessary to say it.

          The cruel practices are standard all over the world, not just the US.

          Exploiting animals for profit is never gonna be humane.

      Because veganism is better than vegetarianism. But also, what’s so bad about vegan recipes? A vegetarian can eat those too.

        There is nothing bad about them, except when they start using other ingredients instead of eggs, milk or honey.

      Vegetarianism is totally awesome and you shouldn’t listen to purists who nag you about it.

        Love how you’re getting downvoted for promoting a vegetarian diet in a thread about…eating less meat lol, I guess there are more ex-Redditors here than I realized.

            People who eat meat are taking a pretty all or nothing stance on animal lives, a diet isn’t just a diet when victims are involved.

              Its a meat eat meat world my friend. Being my dinner is better than the carnivor that eats you alive and toys with your innards as it enjoys your screams of pain.

              The circle of life ends in death and the laws of nature demands consumption.

                That doesn’t work when we’re breeding them by the billions specifically to kill them, you aren’t saving anyone from anything.

                  But there would have been dozens of other species using the resources and slaughtering each other as I said above.

                  It would be the same scale of slaughter, just spread out and brutal as described above.

                  The meat industry has problems that should be discussed, but taking a moral stance of eating meat is evil is a most privileged delusional take.

                    No it would not, wild predators cannot set up factory farms.

                    Killing others when you can easily avoid it is clearly evil.

                    We can just eat plants.
