[insert cool MSN status here]

i actually thought this was satire when i first saw it, but apparently this person is being serious lmao

"made up morals" particularly stands out to me, morals aren't like, natural, I think the idea of moral relativism is flawed and leads to harm, but morals are a social construct, they're all made up.

Plus the implication that all vegans are following the instructions of one guy who just came up with it one day is really fucking funny.

There's no reason given in the post that being able to eat something makes it ethical to eat (given you have other options ofc). But operating of this logic by itself, it would be ok to eat people even if you don't have to in order to survive, and to say otherwise would be wrong. If anything is being pushed on entire populations it's carnism. A lot of governments subsidize animal products and the majority of people are raised eating an omnivore diet. So is it ok to force a populace to eat a specific diet then?

And where do the concerns about racism and forcing people to do things go when they say that it's wrong to talk about morals in eating just because "someone or some creature" is "not being treated well" (the examples of not being treated well including being: killed, enslaved, mutilated, and forced to do dangerous labour, to name a few [talking about both humans and other animals here btw])

Also the assertion that we should try to make lives better is funny in this context, I guess this only applies to humans (and plants???) from their perspective. It's not like it makes lives worse to not pay for them to be ended prematurely, and lived out mostly commonly in cramped and uncomfortable environments. But according to this person, even making that choice for yourself and not talking about it is racist.

The spiel about plants feeling pain being "scientifically proven" is both unoriginal and incorrect. As I'm sure like, everybody reading this knows, omnivore diets take more plants being killed than plant based diets, but it's also generally agreed upon by botanists that while plants may have more complex senses than we originally thought, it is unlikely that they can think or feel any pain.

But none of that matters because it is apparently super racist to not want to torture animals. All diets based in morals are actually super racist, except of course, that of OP. Unless they eat anything they think could be good for them. their diet has moral elements. Abstaining from eating other humans is normally a moral position, so is not eating dogs and cats. So according to this person, the least racist diet is actually eating anything you want and can.
