Vegans consume fewer plants than anyone else. It takes a LOT of plants to raise a cow, pig, or chicken. From an economic point of view, meat is a way of refining mountains of cheap, plentiful, safe plant products into a scarce, harmful and addictive luxury product. This comes up a lot, you'd be amazed how many plants rights activists your average vegan runs into.
Vegans: we'll have only a little vegetable cruelty, as a treat.
Whatever keeps the high horse fed.
You're going to have to unpack this a bit more for me.
Edit: Ohhhh, you're another one of those plant rights activists. Buddy, I eat plants for breakfast. You know what? Now I'm going to eat twice as many plants, just because it upsets you.
Lol your reading comprehension.
