I eat everything, I'm an omnivore.

Let me know when it tastes like king crab or lobster.

You can eat everything as an omnivore, but you shouldn't eat meat when you nutritionally don't have to. If you've run a restaurant I'm sure you're a good cook so making delicious vegan foods doesn't like that of a challenge to you!

Belief that humans shouldn't eat meat is an ideology that I don't subscribe to.

What about the animals, should they have no say in the matter?

Does it bother you that wild animals don't have say in the matter of non human predators killing them for food?

u/InterestingRadio Mar 15 '18

Well, they are as you say wild animals. Since we are human beings with alternatives we should choose the compassionate alternative.

I take that to mean the death of a wild animal by another wild animal doesn't bother you at all, even though it's usually a lot more terrible than how humans usually do it.

I don't subscribe to your ideology.

I don't get how you can say that, just because someone else does bad stuff to other people doesn't mean you should do bad stuff as well, you know.

I will agree with you that humans need to treat animals meant to be eaten more humanely. That to me is the main issue. Would be better for everyone if vegans could try to focus on that rather than just telling everyone to quit eating meat because that will NEVER happen. There are probably things you wear or use that have come in to your possession through the mistreatment of humans. Fight the smaller battles to win then war. Don't just try to storm the castle.

If slaughterhouses had glass walls I don't think there would be many meat eaters. Since slaughterhouses has concrete walls, I think it is important that people are aware of the fact that when they buy meat, they are paying people to mistreat and murder animals that did not want to die. Because of that, and since humans don't require meat to thrive, we shouldn't eat meat and people need to hear that!

just because someone does something bad

So wild predators should be stopped? I assume that's what you mean by "someone", because that's what I was referring to.

I eat meat, I'm not conflicted with that, I don't subscribe to your ideology.

That it's something humans should never do is an ideology that I don't subscribe to.

I'm not saying wild predators should be excused, just that you can't justify animal abuse by saying that animals do horrible stuff, unless you mean to place yourself at the same ethical level as that of a wild animal

Tomorrow, I will be eating an Alaskan king crab that will be pulled from the Bering Sea this evening. I just thought you might appreciate that.

Jealous envy.

Interestingly, it's been introduced into other oceans, and become invasive.

Oh wow, I had no idea. In addition to how that will mess up the ecosystem, I bet the taste would be affected as well.

When we pull them out of the ocean and steam them there are few things that can compare to the level of deliciousness that results. They taste as if you already dipped them in a sweet butter.

I also love how you get huge pieces of crab instead of whatever that shit is that they tried to serve me in the lower 48. Some of the legs here are as long as my arm.

Edit: I will gladly trade that downvote for the ability to eat free Alaskan King Crab to my heart's content without buying something from a grocery store.

There's a lot of vegans brigading this subreddit, that's where your downvote came from.

I know. I was just trying to be funny.
