Since when reducing 90% of their meat intake is being a hypocrite? It’s objectively reducing the suffering of animals.
I don’t eat much meat because I know that morally it’s the correct choice, but personally I don’t care for the animals that died when I do eat meat. I’m completely aware that their murder is fueling my tastebuds, and I don’t hide it. I don’t think I’ll ever go full vegan unless the food offering changes, because I personally don’t care enough for the animals. I’d say that rn I’m 90% vegetarian, meaning that I probably eat meat only once a week.
Call me whatever you will but saying that eating meat once a week is better for animals than eating it every day is objectively true, and I’m not a hypocrite for promoting the reduction of meat intake.
Idk how long you’ve been alive bilut the reduction of meta intake in Europe has been notorious in the last 20 years. The biggest impact is not from people going cold turkey, it’s from all the families that reduce their intake by half. So yeah, meat intake reduction IS having an impact.
Just out of curiosity, what’s your stance then on people who cannot switch to a fully vegan diet because of health reasons? I’m always interested in hearing vegans takes on this, since they seem to vary a lot, and it’s a personal issue for me
That’s a more debatable thing. You’d have a necessity to not change, which makes it less immoral obviously, but it does put into perspective the question of the worth of a life, and whether a human life is worth a lifetime of meat eating/killing.
But that’s not the case for a huge majority of people, so I would call this an edge case which is less obvious.
Not everything is obviously good or bad, some areas are grey, but it doesn’t mean that some areas aren’t. Eating meat for personal pleasure/comfort is obviously immoral, once everyone aligns behind this we can start debating the edge cases.
Also, people like you would typically be a good reason to keep on developing cellular meat, independently from vegetal alternatives to meat.
Other than survival needs, nothing warrants killing and eating sentient beings, in case you were suggesting otherwise. And if you were, then your morals are completely fucked up.
“I’m against animal abuse, except when I like their taste”
ye shaming people always works
And hypocrisy always leads to change.

By the way, where is the hypocrisy in the post?
no, it’s not. even being vegan doesn’t reduce the suffering of animals.

you don’t know what others need
I know that most humans are not unable to survive without meat, it’s basic biology and nutrition.
survival needs are the very bottom of the hierarchy
What are you even talking about?
Other than survival needs, nothing warrants killing and eating sentient beings, in case you were suggesting otherwise. And if you were, then your morals are completely fucked up.
most people don’t do that, anyway. but you’re asserting this without evidence, so it can be dismissed without evidence as well
