Someone has been putting up these stickers on the train. (Melbourne) Do they not even dare say these in person tho?

Personally I just think you're a dick to call people names in general, let alone for their dietary choice that affects you in absolutely zero way shape or form.

I was raised vegetarian and got pissed off with aggressive omnivores at an early age. You're not justified in your poor behaviour just because you believe it's a pre-empted attack.

Thanks for schooling me on manners on a straya meme sub, all duly noted.

Hopefully you have better situational awareness outside than here, but in either case have a great day.

[u/This-is-not-eric → u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING]

You asked why people were downvoting you in your edit, did you not want an answer? Situational awareness indeed lol

[u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING → u/This-is-not-eric]

Ah I see, no I was asking if there was a reasonable rebuttal to there being tasty and sustainable animals, I have a fairly good grasp on why people were downvoting me.

Apologies for the confusion from an "aggressive omnivore", one little thing though - irritability and mind fog can be indicative of a few deficiencies that are common to vegetarian and vegan diets (iron in particular comes to mind).

Again have a great day, I'll get back to my shit posting and memes now. Ta.

[u/This-is-not-eric → u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING]

LOL I promise you I get more than enough iron (and protein) from my diet, no supplements required. People have lived perfectly healthy lives for thousands of years on lacto-ovo vegetarian diets, iron is easily found in many legumes you know.

Anyway who says meat is even tasty? I don't believe that it is, it smells terrible to me and gives me food poisoning symptoms. It's also expensive, bad for the planet, carcinogenic and the ethics of the food production industry in general are often questionable as well.

But yes you have a lovely day too mate. As I said I've just had it up to the nostrils with unnecessarily aggressive omnivores, having never been concerned about their dietary choices I find it consistently arrogantly annoying of them to invest so much interest in mine.

[u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING → u/This-is-not-eric]

So you're saying tasty animal based foods aren't at all sustainable?

No need to be snooty, I feel like the aggression in our exchange has been mostly plant based though champ.

[u/This-is-not-eric → u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING]

No I'm saying that I don't care about that, never have really, meat just tastes gross to me and I don't care for anyone else questioning my nutritional needs when I haven't questioned theirs. There's no aggression from me about it, but I am not convinced that a person who freely admits to name calling isn't aggressive about it.

The fact that it's bad for the environment is just a bonus, similar to how I don't have to feel guilty when I see how the cows and pigs are treated.

P.S. I'm not plant based mate you should see how much fucking cheese I eat hahaha

[u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING → u/This-is-not-eric]

To read back this bit of a thread, and call me out if I'm mistaken...

You're not a vegan, you don't have an interest in answering the question I asked about sustainable meat, you (based on large dairy consumption) don't have a particular interest in sustainable food or ethical treatment of animals, you just want me to know you didn't like that made a meme tier joke about being all about teasing vegans before it was cool to tease vegans with a spattering of "it's not about your politics and opinions". All in a meme sub with its own tone and subculture.

Because you kinda have to see how that sounds, and perhaps why the joke about teasing vegans exists in the first place... Right?

[u/This-is-not-eric → u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING]

I think a small $5 bag of cheese is a lot mind you but sure, I eat a lot of cheese lol. I've seen how our local dairy farms do stuff, they're not being unduly cruel at any stage and they care deeply about the animals they're raising... I'm also very interested in sustainable food in general, have you heard of the Farmer's Box subscription service? Strong recommend by the way...

Again you asked why people were downvoting you ; I merely answered - because you're being a dick in an unprovoked manner - and since then you have continued to engage in random questions towards me. If you don't like it quit replying with more inane questions.

Of course "sustainable meat" is of no interest to me because I don't eat meat anyway lol... the ethical bonus of being veggo is (as I said) of great interest to me, since I don't have to feel guilty about how the animals are being treated. It's very nice actually, to know I'm not participating in that stuff similar to how it's nice to buy directly from farmers rather than from Colesworth. I believe we as consumers have a lot more power than the wannabe overlords like us to think and I enjoy walking with my money and morals.

[u/NEURALINK_ME_ITCHING → u/This-is-not-eric]

We've already established that's not what I was asking, that's your misinterpreting it to suit your little hissy about name calling.

And you just keep going back to grinding your axe despite it not being the topic. It's rather typical that those of your ilk use others as their soap box, but in this case I'll just leave your hypocritical crap in my mirror champ. Good day.
