Original Title: TIL A restaurant in Long Beach, CA, was found to be serving Popeye’s chicken and passing it off as their own. They would buy the chicken at Popeyes and upcharge for their own chicken and waffles dish. Once found out the owner refused to apologize.
I doubt they are militant
In this sense:
militant (adjective): combative and aggressive in support of a political or social cause, and typically favoring extreme, violent, or confrontational methods
True, but they only expressed their dislike of meat in terms of sustainability.
It is possible to be healthy while vegan, about 20% of India is vegetarian. So 200m people. I’m sure some of them are doing ok.
I think, however, it’s very difficult to do. Saying nobody should eat meat is a undefendable position (how many vegans have cats? Cats are obligate carnivores)
You are reading way too much into what I wrote.
I don’t disagree with the ideas, I disagree with the self-righteousness and arrogance. Which seems to be extremely common among vegans.
The same can be said about feminists and abolitionists.
abolitionists and feminists fight against comparing slaves and women to animals.
Speciesism fuels racism and sexism.
veganism was invented in the 1940s. abolition and feminism didn’t need veganism to make significant progress, and until the mid 20th century, none of them were vegan anyway.
it’s hard for me to imagine that veganism is a necessary facet of any liberatory struggle.
People believed in animal rights for hundreds of years before 1944 think of the Jains and al-Ma’arri.
What we do to animals leads to human cruelty. The idea of controlling others and using them for our own purposes stems entirely from animal husbandry.
Now there’s an utterly meaningless statement.
So the “self-righteousness and arrogance” was entirely projection.
Edit: You didn’t like the comparison because it made you realize your own hypocrisy.
Another completely meaningless statement. You’re really on a roll!
Lemme guess… vegan?
You’re deep into the speciesist bias.
