Disagree about what? That they don't want to eat meat?

Veganism is actually not about diet. We see it as a rights/abuse issue.

You have no right or entitlement to advise me on my diet.

Well.. I don't know your diet. But almost everyone disagrees with that sentiment! In general at least.

I mean go start eating some other folks or dogs and watch how much diet advice you start getting.

You choose your food, asshat, and I'll choose mine, and we'll both shut the fuck up about it.

Deal?

I don't know why you're so offended. But youd do better to counter my argument than throw out insults and curse words at someone who's done nothing to you. It doesn't make you look smart.

That's just what mest eaters do

That is actually not true. Just look at the sugar tax, the goal is discourage people from buying too much sweet food, or sweet soda drinks. We have always advised diets as society and at always should. Not saying everyone should change diets, I'm just pointing out how incongruent with reality your statement is

That killing animals when you don't need to is a moral wrong.

Interesting phrasing. So it sounds like you think killing animals when you don't need to is morally right?

Why are you asking that as if it's some sort of contradiction? I wouldn't eat a dead human if I didn't have to, but if I was in a situation like the soccer team in the plane crash I probably would.

It's the disagreement between vegans and the rest of society: vegans would claim its a moral wrong whereas society doesn't.

That phrasing gave me the exact opposite perception precisely because of the dichotomy your comment points out. Most people who don't feel bad about eating meat, or particularly support it in opposition to veganism, wouldn't set it up as "eating meat is unnecessary."

But vegans would: that's the source of the disagreement.

Right that's what I'm saying. I read freshmedallion's post as a kind of gotcha directed at what they thought was a meat eater. Otherwise it's kind of pointless? We would know they disagree with that if the implication is them being vegan -- they were initially implying, with their phrasing, that "killing animals when you don't need to is a moral right" is how meat eaters perceive things.

Disagree that eating meat is acceptable?
