          Can anyone downvoting this explain how vegans are not morally superior?

          • Not a vegan btw

            I would be very surprised. I am not even fully vegan myself, people just don’t want to confront their own moral issues.

            Yes, they are, unless you can make the argument that animal suffering and environmental destruction are good things.

                It reduces demand for meat, lowering production, ergo lowering environmental impact and animal suffering. Simple as.

                  It reduces demand for meat, lowering production

                  production increases every year.

            This isn’t about being smug or not. Veganism is morally superior as long as you consider that animals suffer for Human Consumption, envionmental impacts of animal products far outweigh vegan alternatives, and humans can get all of their nutrition from vegan sources.

            The reason humans eat meat is for pleasure and profit, neither of which can be considered “morally superior” to the benefits of Veganism.
