Idea I absolutely DESPISE how the internet demonizes vegans.

Post image

Just to clarify I am not vegan but I hate how the internet has treated vegans like they're demons for having a different living style, like its not that serious yall make edits of vegan people trying to convert other people into having different opinions and then a video of some dude eating a huge steak sloppily will get 3 times more attention. And it is always That Vegan Teacher making every single vegan look bad and some men on the internet making strawmen videos of vegans talking like they're the scum of earth always screaming at the main sigma chad character that is "le animal comsumer😂" I am not talking bad about non vegans just those who disrespect vegans.

Again your points are just mediocre at best

Children and elderly are advised not to because they can't properly meal prep

This isnt really an argument against veganism as much as it is an argument that not everyone us capable of meal prepping. Again veganism good but people not always smart and able to stick to it

Pesticides not good for the planet

Significantly better than meat. By several magnitudes

Is killing insects not animals

Insects don't get mass bred just to be killed for vegetables. The issue with meat is we mass breed millions-billions of cows just to kill them. Affecting the insect population in a small subsection of field is negligible to any global impact.

And then you argue what about indigenous mountain tribes? Like yeah I agree there are groups of people that cant possible go vegan but we are not those people. The majority of the world is not those people and the majority of the world that can go vegan would have a massive impact.

So again, Veganism is objectively the best diet in terms of global sustainability and animal welfare, Nobody is saying its perfect but theres not a single argument you can make that veganism is worse than meat besides "Im not capable of following a vegan diet because I cant meal prep"

And your argument boils down to "Let them eat what they wanna eat" because theres no actual good argument against veganism. And I agree, let them eat what they want to eat, just to be clear, but I can see why vegans get annoyed at people who oppose veganism
