My daughter is in this meme also. No meat, but she loves her eggs
Chickens are very poorly treated in some farms. I'd prefer not to get into details, it's very NSFW.
I think the way in which the chicken is raised ~~doesn't affect vegans~~ doesn't change the vegans stance :p
But, I think it's fair to say that some methods of eating animals are less cruel than others. It's better to get people to eat less cruel than not and better to eat less meat than not. Eating from local farms is almost always better.
Fwiw there's a lot of vegans who chose their stance because of how the animals are treated.
I'm not vegan but it is rather terrible. It's beginning to affect the food, too. Ever notice that a lot of chicken has the grainy/woody issue nowadays? That's caused by the chickens growing too large too fast. Their muscles experience a lot of stress and inflammation, quite often becoming so large they literally rip off of the bones.
If you want good chicken, go to a butcher or buy air-chilled.
You are correct that it doesn't change my stance, and I wouldn't use animal products (e.g. eggs or wool are two big ones people bring up a lot) even if I know for a fact that the animal is treated well and isn't suffering at all.
But also - I agree with you. Buying cheap wool from Amazon vs getting wool from your buddy that has some alpacas as pets is extremely different. Same for Walmart eggs (even free range ones - I have seen free range chicken farms, knew someone who treated their chickens "well" by industry standards and it was.... not great) vs getting them from the local guy down the street who has a hens that their kids play in the yard with.
I personally will never eat even those animal products because for me being consistent in every scenario is a lot easier, and I don't feel the need to justify why eating animal products is ok in certain circumstances - I just don't do it. And I feel like this is a better stance than still finding ways to still consume, but I would be much, much happier if everyone who consumed animal products only did so through such means. That would require that we as a society produce orders of magnitude less animal products, though. It's not normal or healthy for humans to consume pounds of meat every day, and we produce even more than we consume, leading to excess waste. Basically the whole system is garbage and switching to "kind" animal products would be just as, if not more, difficult than just going vegan as a society.
But yes, I would accept any ally in trying to reduce "Big Ag" or whatever people call it these days. We can argue about the most optimal way to sustain a society when we have fixed the things we can pretty much all agree are problems.
Thanks for posting that! I was gonna say most of the vegans and vegetarians I know say similar to what you said. They have a few different reasons for why they're vegan or vegetarian, but they all tend to agree that it's generally better to just... Eat less meat. Not even not eat meat, but just eat less of it. That's pretty easy to do, honestly, so it's easy to give a shot.
Heck, (and I'm not sure if I agree with this), I once heard someone say they were a vegetarian that occasionally eats meat. It's a neat way to think of it, though, and if they eat less meat because of it, then why not? Reframe it, who am I to stop them?
Regardless, I've been trying to eat less meat, mostly because the messaging works. So, keep it up!
I can't go full plant based (medical bullshit) but the times when meat was a seasoning rather than the main ingredient taught me to cook good flavors. I still don't know how to give up butter tho

Do vegans care about the suffering and abuse that goes on in the produce global market? If so, they should also avoid vegetables
Yea you are so right, since i cant have perfectöy thical living i just kill every living being and explode the sun, thank you for your wisdom wow you are so smart.
You know that most of the farming is used to feed animals that then get eaten?(wich isnt very efficiant) So if you care about the suffering made by the global produce market you should be vegan...
Why do you guys take everything in a joke meme thread like it’s a personal attack? So weird. Keep it in your holster psycho boy
“The same anti-vegan rhetoric that has been spit for years”
“That’s not even accurate.”
“Reee why are you so upset”
You’re so cool dude
Well if you guys would make your jokes a but funnier so people saw the joke and not make it look like every dumb argument everyone throws at you if you ask if there is a vegan option at the dinner, then we would propably know its a joke... looking at your downvotes i guess you just didnt word the joke in a way to make people realise that it was a joke, altho i dont get the joke part of it tbh. There are pleanty grow arguments in meme threads and good conversations, only because the post was a meme doesnt mean that every comment iss obviously a joke, look at the other comments here and you will find out that people do argument and not just post "jokes"...
Also "keep it in your holster psycho boy"? Really? Did you really think that was a good and cool retord? lol
Good to know that you don't or do you subsist on homegrown prokaryotes?
One egg to rule them all, one egg to find them, One egg to bring them all and in the omelette bind them.
I'm making my famous all day meatballs right now. I'm using a neighbor's egg, which is much bigger than standard store bought ones. So this content is ringing hard for me.
