The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

I'm honestly not trying to be snarky, but just go to YouTube and search for "slaugherhouse footage". Once you see it, you can't go back.

This is what did it for me. Once you see that shit you stop seeing meat as food.

A friend and I watched Hormel factory footage (Rifftrax lol) CW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EagPzmaVc38

They and I were sickened and discomforted by the footage up until the moment the meat was being sliced into bacon strips and all of a sudden he's like "oh, that's the yummy stuff!"
