You're killing helpless plants. Clearly they don't want to be eaten. That's why some are poisonous or have spikes.

So then Don't eat anything?
-
Food is for losers.
-
Plants aren't sentient. Any defense mechanisms are purely biological.
-
I was joking.
-
It's a surprisingly common argument.
-
-
this is a real point. I saw this study where these bushes were being grazed on heavily by wildebeest, the bushes reacted to the grazing by increasing toxin levels not usually present. most of the wildebeest got sick and more than a few died.

You may be right, but I also help the plants by not mowing the lawn[spoiler]serious answer to troll: Vegans kill less plants, because most plants that are farmed around the world go to livestock, not directly to people[/spoiler]

Honestly I would eat as much meat as I can. The population is rising and soon there's not gonna be enough meat to feed the world. People are gonna be eating cloned meat. Scientist have already made a burger made of beef cells. It tasted like garbage because it was the moat lean meat in the world. Also it was the moat expensive burger in the world. But soon the technology to make cloned meat will be cheap. [spoiler]also don't actually go out and eat as much meat as possible. Although I like meat, I still think people shouldn't over due it.[/spoiler]

Don't wait for science to solve all your problems when you have the possibility to do it yourself
-
But science is the best answer. I want meat. Animals die when I eat meat. Science let's me eat meat without animals dying. Also isn't being vegan more expensive.
-
I think most meat is pretty expensive and vegetables aren't. You say you kill animals for meat now, because maybe some day you don't have to kill them for meat anymore?

Edited by SSDxCrunchyWolf: 9/26/2014 4:36:45 AMMeat isn't that expensive. I just searched it up. Being vegan is more expensive. Also to answer your second question, no. I don't eat meat because there may possibly be a way to eat meat without killing animals. I eat meat because I like it and because I KNOW there is going to be a way to eat meat without killing animals. I know because it's already here. People will be eating 3D printed hamburgers in the near future. Scientist can already 3D print cells and are planning on using this technology for printing out new limbs for people. It's only a matter of time until I'm able to print out a ham sandwich. After this new age of 3D printing the only reasonable reason for someone to be vegan is for health reasons. Even that would be somewhat strange because it is possible to print out meat without any fat in it. You also don't have to worry about it containing cancer causing agents added during the processing of the meat.

Edited by PietjeVM: 9/26/2014 4:43:08 AMDon't you think that will be expensive?[spoiler]can't you go vegan 'till it's ready?[/spoiler]are vegetables really more expensive than meat?! Real meat, not burgergarbage.

This still isn't the video I was looking for but it still talks about the subject.
-
She was just saying junk food is very cheap and very unhealthy Are you poor and only eat junk food? They say junk food is cheap, steak isn't junk food.
-
Lol no I don't only eat junk food. I couldn't find the video I wanted to show you and that was the closest one to it. The video I wanted wanted to show you basically talks about how most people can't even afford real food but instead have to eat that fake food that you seen in the other video.(you know the one with the pig anus) If someone can't even afford real crab meat then I'm sure they won't be able to afford good fulfilling vegetables. Also keep in mind that 12% of adults and 30% of children live in poverty stricken areas and can only afford junk food.
-
So if all the other people go vegan, they help the economy and stuff and than no'one will be poor anymore and everyone can afford vegan!
-
By the time that happens we will already be able to clone cheap meat.
-
But only the rich people will be able to afford it, so first we have to make everyone rich by being vegan
-
Yes it is expensive now but the price will decrease in time. Technology will get better and become more commercial. You can already buy 3D printers that print candy. But that's not as advanced as 3D printing cells. Also you have to remember that most people can't actually afford real food. I couldn't find the video talking about the subject but what the food is really made out of in this video is pretty much what the average person can afford. The average can't afford to eat healthy fulfilling vegetables, especially when it's easier to just go out and buy some pig anus.
-
You're saying you don't want to be vegan because poor people can't afford it?
-
I never said that people shouldn't be vegan. It's just easier for most for them not to be vegan.
-
But YOU can be vegan?
-
Yeah but I don't want to. Especially when there's a solution right around the corner.
