so you think vegans eat as much fast food as non vegans
what did say that contradicted this
Anyway. I see you’re not serious in this conversation and are just trolling. Have a good one.
this is an ad hominem and a thought terminating cliche. what i'm saying is true. your fallacious rhetoric doesn't change that.
Our best scientific understanding is that a CNS is essential for sentience
i think what you mean is that sentience has only been substantiated in organisms with a cns.
Do you actually believe there is a sentient being in a plant, or a rock for that matter?
i never said that. what i said is that you can't prove there isn't.
Should we, according to you, grant the same amount of ethical consideration to a tomato as to a cat/pig/bird/etc?
i don't know what you mean by ethical consideration.
it also requires aesthetic needs to be met, social needs, and self actualization. for many people, those may require that you, for instance, master french cuisine, or eat your grandmother's lasagna, or just have hotdog and beer at the ballpark.
vegans have been around since the 1940s, and my guess is there are more now than ever, but the meat industry grows year-over-year every year. being vegan doesn't decrease the amount of meat dairy or eggs produced. it certainly doesn't reduce the amount of vegetables grown.
since vegan fare is pretty limited, i think the first thing is that vegans don't eat nearly as much fast food. they probably eat out less overall. which is going to require a lifestyle that carves out time at home to cook or meal prep.

A short ban, probably not worth discussing, but which has created a significant chilling effect on my use of my host instance
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com
i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:
and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you'll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.
it was less than 2 hours. it's almost not worth discussing.
but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planned and under the terms which i agreed.
db0 has said he doesn't want to be the benevolent dictator for life, and has specifically both recused himself from ruling on my conduct and encouraged me to post here and in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com (though i'm still holding off on that for now).
so, did i deserve it? power tripping bastard? what do you think?
kamala Harris, as a da, locked people up and refused parole to keep them as slaves fighting fires.
mod says it's misinfo (probably without fact checking) and removes the comment
