I'm not vegan because I give a fuck about animals. I'm vegan because I hate plants.
Green dudes have had it too good for too long.

They are out there lording their massive advantage in cumulative biomass over us. Fucking plants. I can’t wait to eat some tomorrow.
As pointed out above, if you hate plants, you should eat as much meat as possible. Every kilo of meat represents at least ten kilos of plants eaten by the animal.
I don't want another animal taking my Freudian pleasure. The erotic joy of voring a verdant, fleshy succulent. Feeling the crunching snap of brutality as an innocent plant is ground between my glistering molars. The swallow; the mulched, peppery bolus peristalted down a wet, hungry, pulsing oesophegus. The conversion of what was once a marvel of evolution, a being that could harness the power of a living star, into fodder for my next bowel movement. From stoma to stoma.
This is not some cool, by-the-numbers optimisation. This is raw, visceral, hungry cruelty.
The old adage can be given greater, poetic specificity. Revenge is a dish best served cold. And it is a salad.
I tip my hat to you
Fuck plants, all my homies hate plants!

Cool Fact: Vegans consume a total of less plants than omnivores. Animals eat plants, so if you eat them, you're eating an animal plus everything it ate to grow up.
I absolutely agree, eating meat should count as eating at least one salad too.
Take that, doctor.
Animals on average convert about 10% of the mass they eat into their own body mass.
So when a lion dies and turns to grass, the antilopes only get back 10% of the grass they ate to make meat for the lion.
Circle of life, my ass. More like a trickle down pyramid scheme.
It's even less. The Antilope converts 10% of grass to meat, the lion converts 10% of Antilope meat to lion meat. So it's 10% of 10% bringing us back to the root problem of everything... The 1%!!!!
I mean, obviously you won't get 100% of the energy back because most of it is spent on heating you up and moving and also heating you up, but yeah, I feel like God could've really done with some optimization techniques.
Only a matter of time before plant-based alternatives fully take over from meat. Meat farming is not sustainable, as you mention all the land used to farm food for animals could be used to just farm more food for us directly.
We just have to get rid of the stigma around plant-based "meat".
At this point it isn't so much the stigma as it is the price for a lot of us. If it was the same or cheaper than regular meat prices in my area I would buy it instead.
Prices are coming down, but they won't come down a lot until more people buy it, but more people wont buy it unless it's cheaper...
Here's hoping there's some more restrictions imposed on meat.

It is worth mentioning that the types of plants that people and animals eat are different. Humans can't digest cellulose and hemicellulose where herbivores can.
Yeah, we can't really eat grass, but thinking that most cattle nowadays actually graze is... inaccurate, to put it mildly.
Factory-farmed cattle are almost always fed grain made of corn and soy, both of which are completely fine for humans to eat, in case someone was unaware.
Producing 1kg of beef takes several kilos of feed.

Yeah, instead of using that land to grow monocultured grass, we could use it to grow plants we do eat. It's not like we would keep growing grass there and say "Darn! We can't eat this grass!", we wouldn't need to plant plants we don't eat in the first place.
Yeah I agree and we need to start with lawns.

Also many animals are grassed on areas which are unsuitable for farming. And if done in a responsible manner allows for the natural diversity of an area to be maintained.
Monocroping corn or potatoes is just as bad.

I'd agree if there would ba a "could" in there or something. The reality is that a lot of soy (that humans can digest) is fed to animals...

Plants make oxygen, animals make poop
If the vegans win then we'll no oxygen to breathe, only poop
This is the future vegans want
I'd agree with you, that also means more farts. And farts are funny. Do you hate comedy?
I've been acclimatizing to a fart-only lifestyle by micro dosing on e-girl farts I buy online.
80% of my oxygen and 30% of my calories I get from farts now.
Imagine this, but with no context
I'm going to crawl into a burlap sack and throw myself off a bridge like an unwanted litter of kittens.
Comedy means laugh and laugh means consuming more air . Do you wanna help vegans win ?
That's it, now I'm gonna go eat twice as many legumes as I usually eat just because of this post!
You'll never stop us, mwahahahaha!
Dammit, who ate the fucking forest again?!
vegan btw
Based and B12-pilled
You don't need B12 pills, you just need to touch grass (with your tongue)
No!
Surrender the plants

It's funny, but obligatory cattle rearing requires more crop fields to sustain than simply eating the crops ourselves.
Honestly we can't stop vegans. What we need to do is imprison in a giant chamber that artificially grows grass

NEMATODES!!!!!!
Goddamit vegans
Reminder to keep eating lamb and cows because they want to eat all the grass on the planet leaving only desert behind.
"I don't eat anything that casts a shadow."
"Don't plants cast shadows?"
My uncle has a forest that he really loves.
Sigh, I find this too sad to be funny
