This meme changed zero minds but made a few vegans feel pretty special.

Maybe not this single one, but if there's a running discourse that shows veganism is perfectly common and normal, more people are willing to become vegan. This is part of the nudges we humans are prone to.

This meme really only makes sense in response to something. I've definitely heard many non-vegans complain that a vegan diet is restricting. Most of those people do only eat like 3 veggies ever.

That being said, it's a meme, not a philosophical treatise.

What three animals everyone else eating? We’ve got chickens, ducks, pigeons, quail, geese, cranes, turkeys, cows, deer, elk, moose, antelope, armadillo, beaver, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, lynx, bear, bison, caribou, goat, musk ox, pronghorn, sheep, muskrat, opossums, pigs, porcupine, rabbits, squirrels, pheasant, chukars, and tons of tasty insects to choose from.

You forgot the many difference species of fish/creatures-of-the-sea.

[-] EatsTheCheeseRind@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

I didn’t even go there because of so many tasty options to list!

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 36 points 11 months ago

Tell me with a straight face that you eat a fucking squirrel

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 41 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

THAT'S the one you take issue with? Lol

In not sure anyone is eating muskrat or opossum outside West Virginia mountain hermits, people born before 1890, and anyone who self identifies as a trapper.

Squirrel are fantastic.

They’re the least “gamey” out of most small game, less so than rabbit, and taste something like leaner dark meat chicken.

Awesome in a crockpot substituted for chicken in most recipes. Can fancy up squirrel with a Sous vide to make squirrel confit bánh mì tacos, or keep it old school and make squirrel pot pie.

You can eat both vegetables and dead animals at the same time. We call that a stew.

[-] BlovedMadman@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

I call it a balanced diet... Who the fuck is exclusivly eating meat?

There's more than three affordable animals lmao. Even if you count fish as one you still have crawfish, shrimp, fish, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, venison, turkey, etc. This also doesn't even account for the million ways to prepare the meats

"You ever plow a field? To plant the quinoa or sorghum or whatever the hell it is you eat. You kill everything on the ground and under it.

You kill every snake, every frog, every mouse, mole, vole, worm, quail… you kill them all.

So, I guess the only real question is: how cute does an animal have to be before you care if it dies to feed you?”

  1. There's more than three animals that you can eat.

  2. You don't even eat all 80000 of those plants.

  3. Plants make excellent side dishes, unfortunately I can't spend a third of my day shoveling quinoa and lentils by the bucket load just to get enough protein, so meat it is.

I cut beef out of my diet almost entirely, both because it's unsustainable for the ecology (cattle require more resources per pound than any other animal) and because red meat isn't as good for you. Also it's expensive.

A lot of people in the comments can't seem to make the distinction between what they have been fed since they were little and that they are used to, and what is good, or tastes good.

Maybe it goes to show you just how yummy those 3 animals are?

Man, here's the thing. I can't digest fermenting ogliosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols.

So no beans, mushrooms, onions garlic wheat rye or barley, apples, apricots, most berries, etc etc etc.

I also lead a "fairly" active lifestyle against my own wishes. So where does my protein come from? Meat. Chicken, eggs, and hard tofu.

If I cut meat from my diet, I'm eating three meals a day of hard tofu. What even is the point of life, then?

All these tasty meats and people decide to eat what the food eats.

I mean I think it's pretty telling that there are lots of plant based versions of meat based food, but not the other way around. Nobody is trying to replicate the taste of salads in meat form

[-] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 30 points 11 months ago

Probably because there's not really an ethical concern over eating (most) plants. You're making a false equivalence.

I mean, if any of those 80,000 plants pack as much protein as any of the dead animals I'm all ears

[-] Shurimal@kbin.social 35 points 11 months ago

All legumes.

And you don't need that much protein. 10% of your calory intake is enough, even if you're living a sporty lifestyle. People overthink their protein need all the time—I blame the sports nutrition industry and their aggressive marketing campaigns.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 20 points 11 months ago

80k plants and vegans only eat like 20 anyway

[-] TheYear2525@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

And half of them are actually just Brassica oleracea.

Beef/lamb/pork/chicken/seafood eater 4 life.

[-] DigitalWanderer@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

and after eating all 80.000 you'll still be hungry and feeling a bit weak...

face it, humans are omnivore we will always need both to thrive, balance is key
