    the fact that I can digest meat at all suggests that I am an omnivore

    it is wonderful that you are vegan but please shut the fuck up trying to pretend that it is humanity’s natural state

        Cannot help but notice that that paragraph does not contain the word “omnivore” anywhere except the first sentence.

        The fact that the human body is not especially well suited to killing prey with its bare hands and tearing flesh off of bones is more indicative of tool use and the fact that we cook our food than anything else, and even if it weren’t, herbivores get sick when they eat meat. Carnivores get sick when they eat plants. Humans get sick from neither; therefore, definitionally, we are omnivores.

        I do agree that the state of factory farming is apalling. I can also imagine futures in which factory farming does not exist besides the one where no human eats meat ever again.

        i’m not gonna say it again. i applaud your decision to go vegan, but please, for the love of everything you hold sacred, stop pretending your choice is the only correct one. You say you can live and let live. Demonstrate this please.
