Absolutely disgusting that people can be so callous towards animals. Please stop treating living beings as products and go vegan!

Love how some assholes from Kansas and Iowa get to make decisisions for me and the rest of the country like this. It really takes the burden off my shoulders.
Fois grois for all! If you dont like it, we will force feed it to you.
Humans going vegan won’t save anything and is entirely unrealistic. The issue, as usual is unregulated capitalism plus lack of public awareness. Posts like this help. Self righteous comments do not.
In the US it is normal and expected to eat meat and animal products 3-5 times per day with every meal and snack. If popular culture can shift to consuming meat and animal products 3-5 times per week that would be an ~80% reduction with minimal sacrifice.
These days it's not the tremendous change it used to be - there are at least a dozen brands of vegan meat replacements for sausages, chicken, roasts, burgers, etc. It's fairly easy to find vegan pastries, cakes, cookies, ice creams, etc. It is not as if people will need to suddenly start eating salad for every meal, if we only eat meat once per day that alone is a massive and achievable change.
Vegans today sacrifice less than ever before, and we have all those who went vegan decades ago (the hard way!) to thank for that.
And why not?
Humans should go vegan because paying for animals to be killed for your tastebuds is wrong.
