      Don’t try to eat less meat, try to eat more veggie. I know it’s technically the same but the thought process is different. Before you know it, you had weeks without meat.

      nah, meat is great. Just the sourcing of it is not so great. Get your meat from a local butcher where you know where the animal came from.
      Or better yet, if you have the space, time and money: get your own livestock.

        the animals don’t care wether their dead corpse is shipped to you from Argentina or from your local butcher that is just such a nice and friendly guy :^) they’d prefer not having their throat slit by anyone at all

          You apparently don’t know that most of the time, their throat is not slit to kill them, but rather animals are shot with a pneumatic bolt. Stay with the facts and you sound less aggressive.

      I would argue we shouldn’t live without it, but it does need to be cut back and less glorified. There are soo many alternatives that are healthier, cheaper, better for environment but you should still be able to have a medium rare steak and some chicken wings when you want it.

        well as of the ethics doing a bad thing once is still having done a bad thing, but I guess sure if you want to decrease animal suffering the fastest realistic way, getting 10 people to reduce their consumption trumps 3 people completely cutting their meat consumption. (yet you’ll still have 10 people exploiting animals for their “products” who should be living without doing just that. vegan btw)

          As a vegetarian, we can all tell that you’re vegan. The disclaimer wasn’t necessary.

          This aggressive behavior and labeling isn’t productive if your goal is to persuade people to try something entirely new to them (remove meat from their diet).

            Yeah they could have left out the whole judgemental thing about animal suffering and be more encouraging. Instead they chose to be an insufferable, smug and arrogant microaggressor.
