    We need to greatly reduce meat consumption in order to make our planet sustainable for human life. You can start at your own pace, but it’s easier than ever with all of the meat alternatives these days.

          Lol… it’s not just veggie bros, just a lot of normal folk with more than just a few brain cells kicking around.

          (I would like a really good argument to going complete vegan, rather than vegetarian though) Are the hens harmed by the eggs they lay?

          If you don’t have some complete moral issue against eating meat, the most rational choice is to eat much less meat. That causes the maximum discomfort to the industry, while the least discomfort to the individual.

            On eggs:

            • Male and female chicks are birthed in equal amounts, but the male chicks are thrown into a meat grinder as they can’t produce eggs.
            • Certifications that chickens are being kept in any kind of conditions.that are kind to the animal are mostly crap. Unless you know and have inspected the farm where your eggs are coming from, assume the chickens are being kept in awful conditions.
            • What happens when the chicken stops producing enough eggs, when they’re past their peak? They get slaughtered, of course.

            Veganism in general is simply a consequence of having empathy with animals being held by humans. Unless they’re treated like pets, they’re going to face pain and suffering that simply isn’t necessary for human survival. And if it isn’t necessary, why inflict pain?

        Why aren’t you arguing that people need to eat more meat, since it’s o good, and clearly the way to go?
