    It’s like being a non-smoker on a party where everybody smokes. Almost nobody wants to hear that they’re doing something wrong. Toxicity is literally in the non-vegan community, warming up the climate and all, decreasing biodiversity, mistreating and killing animals for pleasure.

      You see, when you come into a comment thread defending your stance and still decide you need to act like a cunt, that’s exactly why people don’t like vegan communities.

          They specifically responded to someone who has dietary issues and tried to make them feel bad for something OP didn’t choose.

          Literally no reason to add the last part except to make themselves feel superior.

      Have you stopped to think that plants also suffer stress when being picked?

      It’s kinda one-faceted to just ignore that suffering while focusing on other suffering don’t you think?

      True ethical consumption doesn’t exist the way you have it defined.

        Yes. And they don’t

            And you can’t prove it either. provide some evidence for your claim (that isn’t some unrelated study misinterpreted by silly news anchors)

              while you can’t prove a negative, it is possible to find evidence for a positive claim. so, very much, you don’t know that. the truest thing anyone can say is that there is not a conclusive study that supports the claim.

                Even if plants might feel pain, we are certain that animals feel pain. Also if you think for whatever reason that plants feel pain, then, well, a vegan diet uses less plants because its a more efficient food source. Plants feeling pain, whether true or false, isn’t an argument against veganism in any way.

                  the crux of the argument that they might feel pain is not that it is wrong, but that it is inevitable, so it cannot be wrong

          They don’t, but they also kinda do … They communicate with each other and with animals, they have different chemical reactions to different stimuli, etc. just because they’re different from you doesn’t mean they don’t suffer. Probably less than factory animals, that’s for sure, ofc. But not everyone that eats meat supports that shit.

            The plants communicate for survival because of natural selection, not because they are avoiding pain
