Humor/Comedy There Is No Such Thing As Veganism

[CarlManvers2019]

Almost all plants use fertilizer which comes from animals, or specifically their biological matter

Humans are a sort of animal, so our biological matter is also used for growing plants whether intentionally or not

All plants are part animal just by using animals for nutrients

So if we eat plants, we are eating animals or product from animals like milk and eggs

How can you argue against this?

Actually modern fertilizer doesn't come from animals. The Haber-Bosch Process is used to create it from natural gas and air. The Potassium and Potash portions are usually mined from mineral deposits. No animals are involved.

One can easily use your line of reasoning against certified organic vegetables, however, which don't use artificial chemical fertilizers.

Can’t be a vegan if you eat organic....I think some people may get a BSOD from that

A less trollish argument against Veganism can be found here. It turns out that tractors kill so many thousands of animals every harvest, the least harm principle demands an all-meat diet since that kills only a small number of farm animal rather than several thousands of wild animals trying to survive in the fields. And of course oceans of pesticides don't help a bit.

Eh, I still prefer the "My food shits on yours" argument. It may show you're not taking the discussion seriously, but then, I don't usually take vegans seriously.

So true vegans are the Breton then?

Vegan diet, that's when you exclusively eat the herbivores, right?

Ever heard of ranching?

Cows, sheep and goats eat grass, great option for soil too poor for actual crops and essential part of crop rotation on soil that does.

Yep. Why do you think I asked that rhetorical question.
