    The entire “problem” with veganism is that almost anything which starts with such an inflexible moral imperative ends up becoming militant, specifically because that rigidity quickly becomes at odds with more practical and functional versions of the idea.

    Like so many similar ethics, veganism doesn’t really concern itself with creating a practical or actionable roadmap for how food supply chains can be iteratively modified towards the goal of reducing animal suffering. Militant moralists, in fact, tend to avoid such things specifically because they demand a framework of accountable progress. Demanding radical and unrealistic measures be taken, and then condemning those who express skepticism or hostility of this idea is much easier. Like a religion.

      the entire problem with your comment is that you are using vague language and not defining your terms. as a result, you have presented unfalsifiable theory.

      no one should believe anything you’ve written here.

      Eh, veganism is quite clear in that it doesn’t support the use of any animal products. If one doesn’t live by that fully everyday there is still benefit to doing it in part.

      You’re also wrong about vegans not being concerned about supply chain ie how people get there food and how it affects people and animals.

      There’s no problems with morals lol. Are you going to argue that not killing is like a religion?

        You can’t think of any valid reason to kill?

        There’s a lot of ideas that I agree with, but that are made into a religion. I think it’s because abstract ideals aren’t very motivating on their own.
