    @lankybiker @Blackmist well clearly not everyone thinks like him, coz what, 4% of the population are vegan? I’m Team Vegan. I’m really rooting for those guys. I hope they can pull us right out of this mess. I wish them the best of luck.

      If you think veganism will save the world, you should probably look at a graph of greenhouse gas sources.

      I don’t drive. I’ve already done more than vegans ever will. Got an electric car? Good for you, but in the US that will still be powered by 60-70% coal and gas.

      The only thing vegans have is the moral superiority on animal cruelty.

      The only thing that will save the world is to stop burning fossil fuels. The only people that can force that change are governments. Once again those in charge have turned the people on each other. “Look at him, he’s eating meat! Doesn’t he know he’s killing the planet?”, while they’re authorising another gas powerplant being built, or pushing back the banning of petrol cars by five years.

        Mind you, this is from 2 years ago: If we stopped all fossil fuels at that time, our diet would alone increase the temperature by 2°C

        It is vastly proven by studies that vegans not only act different in regards of their diet but also in every other aspect, so you are not special. Vegans don’t need more cars than any other group.

        Even if we could afford to kill billions each year for taste, you yourself stated that it is morally preferable not to. So what is your excuse?
