    😑 so torture a bunch of alfalfa, or a bunch of alfalfa and a much larger more sentient cow as well?

      I just stated a fact. I didn’t share my opinion on veganism. You just established that you aren’t against the torturing of sentient beings and that you think life dying in order to support other life is a good thing. That you do infact see some life as inferior to other life. I just wanted to point out your extremely poor choice of words lol

        Let’s say plants can suffer:

        • Option 1: Torture and kill 4kcal worth of plant, then feed it to an animal. Torture and kill that animal. Calories produced: 1kcal. Suffering generated: 4kcal plants + 1kcal animal.
        • Option 2: Torture and kill 1kcal of plant. Eat it. Calories produced: 1kcal. Suffering generated: 1kcal plant

        Therefore: A vegan always produces less suffering than a vegetarian or omnivore.
