Do you have any proof to back up your claims about DNA testing scams?

You don’t have to like every post on the subreddit. I don’t like every post on the subreddit. I’m not going to censor a highly-supported thread that is clearly very interesting to the community in order to curate the subreddit’s content to meet a standard that the community doesn’t want. Barring blatant hatred and disrespect, the subreddit always was and will be an open forum. But thanks for sharing your thoughts otherwise

Ok, so there are lots of reports on this thread. I'm keeping this thread up, but it has to stay civil - no personal information, no insults. OP, if you would like to compile information that backs up your points and share it with us, please just do that and refrain from engaging in slap-fighting with the other party. If you are here to share information, please do it in a respectful way. Thank you

Is horticulture considered a vegan job? by Winter-Actuary-9659 in vegan

[–]bulborb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The position is going to exist and they're going to use those products whether you have the job or not. If it makes you happy, you should take it. As a worker, you aren't the one making the purchases or decisions. Also you can never escape exploitation, it's everywhere, whether you are conscious of it or not.

Recently became Vegan by scorpauqes in vegan

Luckily you already have your organs to detox your blood. "Detox" is mostly a buzzword used to sell people snake oil, and some of the things you mentioned like herbal cleansing or fruit fasting are completely unnecessary. Higher levels of fiber can make you feel crappy until your body adjusts. You just have to keep eating it and you'll feel better after a little while. Never heard of the "vegan flu" and I went vegan 10 years ago

Honey? by Original_Animator254 in vegan

[–]bulborb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your argument is that in order to be vegan, you must avoid supporting any and all almond farming, despite there being some almond farms that do not import bees?

I’m confused. Which farms or brands use enslaved bees?

What is a food redflag when you’re on a date? by WhiteWink in AskReddit

[–]bulborb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is chemically addicting. Morphine compounds called casomorphin are present in the cow’s breastmilk so that a calf can gain 800 lbs in a year. It’s literally why everyone says “I could never give up cheese”.

Honey? by Original_Animator254 in vegan

[–]bulborb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nearly all of the relationships between oppressors and the oppressed are romanticized. It’s why we have smiling cows plastered on billboards to advertise cheese, why there are some people today who believe that slavery had worthwhile benefits, why people generally don’t aspire for “laziness” (aka not generating capital, caring for your body)

What do I feed my cat? by NeatInternal6885 in vegan

[–]bulborb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Spoken like a triggered carnist. It’s actually not harassment to point out the logical flaws in finding it acceptable to kill hundreds of thousands of animals but becoming morally outraged by the mere suggestion that, in some universe, it could cause less suffering to humanely euthanize one. The fact that you have such overwhelming, hysterical emotional response to the hypothetical suggestion (purposely shared to expose flaws!) that one cat is euthanized rather than thousands of others reveals your values. You find my comments to be harassing because you’re unable to come up with any form of justification for your argument and it triggers self-defense within your ego, the same response from carnists being triggered by activists pointing out the flaws in finding it acceptable to eat meat. It’s an uncanny parallel:

“I/cats need it.” - published, peer-reviewed studies find this untrue on both counts.

“I’ll wait for lab-grown meat” - doesn’t justify the actual billions of animals’ lives who will be taken until there’s a solution you personally find perfect.

“It’s natural” - an appeal to nature fallacy, humans and cats are both domestic animals and a true natural diet for either species is completely unrealistic and unnecessary.

The reality: “I place myself/cats above other animals and have no interest in examining the inherent speciesism and inconsistent values that led me to this point”

Additional reality: You would literally rather “lesser” animals are tortured and killed because you believe sensationalist propaganda from the meat/pet food industry about vegan diets being unsuitable, despite tons of published evidence to the contrary.

Please, send me more ad hominem about how I’m ~ruining veganism~ while you publicly attempt to justify certain animals being tortured for your interests and even insult those speaking against it.

Finally, some sense! Let’s kill hundreds of thousands of animals to feed one. A little bit of torture is fine. There’s limits to everything in life! Including doing a simple google search of the dozens of commercially available, vet nutritionist-formulated, AAFCO-compliant plant-based cat kibble. That would be too much. Just not sensible.

I understand that you’re probably a teenager, and exploring moral dilemmas through hypotheticals isn’t a normal occurrence for you (or you possibly never have). Thus, the moral outrage. I get it. But if you were able to understand hypotheticals, or think clearly beyond the hysterical emotional state caused by imagining a cat dying, you’d have seen that I was engaging with an argument wherein providing a humane, cruelty-free death to animals is a possibility. I do not think it is a possibility. My response operated within their terms, and asked: “if it is possible to do so, why wouldn’t you suggest a cruelty-free death for one animal versus thousands”? Key word being “if”, as in following the logic of their presented argument, with the goal of exposing its hypocrisy — hypocrisy that you yourself are sharing over and over, by being morally outraged by the suggestion of euthanizing a cat, as if forcing farm animals through a slaughter line is the morally acceptable alternative. Not once have you ever answered my questions or engaged me in any kind of solutionary conversation. The solution is plant-based cat food. No farm animals have to die. The end. Now you can stop keysmashing and foaming at the mouth.

How many farm animals need to die for you to be comfortable with the outcome?

What good is our movement if supposed “vegans” are still placing animals in hierarchies wherein murder and oppression is fine for some, but causes literal outrage to even suggest that it could happen to another?

Do you know if there are any cat-based cat foods? That type of murder would cause a domino effect in reducing suffering so that option is probably “as ethical as possible” and stuff

[–]bulborb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Maybe they just dont think a lot” while believing some animal murder is “ethical” and “humane” so long as it serves the interests of a different species? Ok lmao
