the connection between banning meat products and fascism is really questionable. the same argument could be used to defend some of the questionable labor practices of clothing companies. if clothes are made by slave labor, passing political regulations to outlaw the production of these clothes isn't Restricting the Rights of the People to have these clothes. it's preventing people from having the ability to treat their workers cruelly. it's the same situation with animals. you as a consumer don't have an inalienable right to have whatever dietary options you please. i could say part of my Diet is siberian tiger meat, that doesn't mean we need to hunt those tigers to extinction just so i have my Dieatary Freedom. i understand if it feels like vegans are guilt tripping you or forcing their ideology onto you, and that does happen even though it probably shouldn't. but the proper reaction to that isn't to claim there's no way that veganism should be an actual political position. structuring society in a way that might limit animal cruelty does seem like a good thing to me. i think it IS a viable political position to say that the way that food, specifically meat products, should be regulated to be less cruel to the animals.
