    I assume that, given the choice, you’d still prefer people to be vegetarian than carnivorous though.

      In which situation does a person gets to chose another random person eating habits?

        When you’re put in charge of making food for people and choice of food is up to you?

        Not really the point of my comment.

          Your comment is disingenuous because you asked if one would prefer if others were carnivorous or vegetarian. This is nonsense because you don’t get to chose what other peoples eating habits.

          When you make food for people you ask them what they eat before you serve them something they cannot or don’t want to eat.

            Sheesh. So sorry for asking a person’s preference. I’m not going to dignify this further.

              Ah I thought you were one of those anti vegan people. I’m too stupid for Lemmy, I always imagine the worse. Gonna delete this app. Sorry.

      Sure, but that’s like saying “I don’t shoot dogs, I just kick them.” Like, sure, I guess that’s better, but when you say you do it because you “care about dogs,” that doesn’t make sense.

        Not sure why this needs to go off piste. It’s like saying I don’t shoot and eat [animal] for sustenance, I milk [animal] for sustenance. It’s up to individuals to decide if that is conscionable or not, maybe impacted by whether you think they’re inconsistent and maybe not.

          I think this is where the disconnect is. It’s not just milking an animal. It’s getting her pregnant, taking her child away from her shortly after birth and killing it. It’s keeping her trapped in a tiny pen for her whole life, barely able to move. Then, when she can no longer produce milk, kill her, 6 years into her 20-year lifespan.

          Dairy is cruel. Arguably more cruel than meat.

            Exactly this. I’d kinda rather people ate meat and not dairy than the opposite, the dairy industry is fucked up.
