This land isn’t for you or me. It’s for the meat industry. | Almost half of the continental US is used for meat production. There’s something better we could do with it. (www.vox.com)

Actually, that did happen while I lived with my immediate biological family in my formative years.

To say nothing of the fact that we're forced to fund the torture and killing of animals in the form of federal beef subsidies. Or that in some cases institutionalized people (in prisons, asylums, etc.) are, in fact, made to eat meat and may very well be force-fed if they refuse to.

None of that matters if the treatbrain got theirs, thus the "no one is forcing you" condescending tone which is a fucking lie.

And carnists still have the nerve to act like they're the aggrieved party every time they're forced to remember we exist, lol. I can only imagine how they'd act if the positions were reversed and we were winning as hard as they are.

The world would be in better shape, there'd be a lot less pollution and suffering to living beings, and they may not even notice the difference because they wouldn't be as used to shoveling down dae le epic Baconators.
