      This is incredibly intelligent and rooted in actual possibility and novel, you had me in awe. I’d give you reddit gold but I’m poor (and that’s why I’m not vegan) so I unfortunately have to choose between a prime quality steak or giving you gold. Hope this 🏅 can make up for it! I will also study this argument and present it to vegans that ask me not to obliterate the lives of trillion animals every year

      You’re probably joking, but in case you’re not:

      An important part about the vegan philosophy is that you reduce animal suffering as much as is practicable. That means a vegan on a desert island faced with an “eat meat or die” kinda situation is morally justified to eat meat. A much more common situation is that vegans use medicine tested on animals. If their health depends on it and there’s no cruelty-free alternatives, it is justified.

          Ah, you are joking :))

          Yeah, can be hard to tell with stuff like this because I’ve heard similar things completely seriously from meat eaters.
