Its almost entirely made from plants
And like, even if it was dinosaurs, Dirt is also (partially) made from decayed animals. And, oversimplifying, that dirt becomes plants.
And that's all fine for vegans, because it doesn't involve exploitation of animals. Like, if you needed to raise and kill animals to use their corpses to grow plants, that'd be animal exploitation.
Good thing yeast is technically not an animal.
Fungi is closer related to animals than plants.
So in your mind that makes fungi capable of feeling just like animals?
When I eat magic mushrooms, I feel like fungi are capable of feeling all kinds of weird shit tbh
Old news for me. Whats your argument here?
Yeah, creepy right? Just wanted to note we eat the fruit of the fungi. The mycelium would be the "living" part.
there's no veganism under capitalism

This is quite hard to read
Probably because its a garbage take
Tell that to Beyond Meat
i will. where can i find them?
Most supermarkets
Also, KFC, apparently...
never seen them where i live
Pedantry alert: most oil comes from algae and plankton. By “most”, I’m talking high 90 percent rather than 51 percent.
But I like saying my car runs on dinosaur squeezins'.
This is better than “dinosaur juice”. I’m stealing it.
Petrol isn't made of dinos it's made of is plankton
"bio diesel" contains animal fat, 1 million tons each year in the EU alone.
i aggre with you if you're talkin about mass capitalism version of veganism, but the original activist movement of veganism, which is more direct and utopic, is in fact against vehicles itself, cos the production of everything involved causes harm to animals environment.
Yeah, these days, many people become vegan to combat climate change and are opposed to fossil fuels even before that...
definitionally you aren't vegan if environmental impact is your terminal goal. It would be like saying you're Christian for the cathedrals or something.
Veganism is a philosophy and life practice of trying to minimise harm to other earthlings. It can involve environmentalism as an instrumental goal, that is protecting the environment to avoid mass suffering, but a world of perfect environmental preservation where all ants have depression would be unacceptable to a vegan but not to an environmentalist.
Many people with environmental goals adopt a plant based diet and/or lifestyle.
veganism isn't inherently utilitarian. some vegans would be fine with a world full of depressed ants.
The definition privileges action, which is why vegan philosophy is generally fine with stuff like foxes hunting birds but not humans hunting foxes to save birds.
Taking action to depress ants to save others would go against the ethos as defined:
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
Definitely should forsake technology and get back where we belong. Lions and dolphins have to rough it out, why are we acting like we have the right to just not die of sepsis?
A prey animal will try to fight off its predators, is this wrong of the prey animal? Should the prey animal lie down and accept its fate, because it doesn't have the right to not get eaten? Why do you think nature has a "correct" state and that deviating from this is bad?

Hitler was a vegan
