Vegan milks are nice to drink, but they are very very different to real milk. Having tea with oat milk is a sacrifice (almond and coconut are worse for tea - they lack the sweetness that counteracts the bitter elements of tea), it doesn't taste as good but it's ok. It's a small sacrifice to make, but a persistent one (given that many of us rely on caffeine to function at work).

There is a moral argument to be made, and the moral argument has the high ground if you avoid looking too carefully (nothing in life is simple).

The real crux of the vegan argument is "can people also sacrifice this", or is it one sacrifice too many in the world of compromises we endure. That's a personal choice, and given the state of the world today, it isn't one many will be able to make.

That's why veganism should be forced on people (just shutting down factory farms would drive up meat prices so much it might be enough)

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 2 points 12 minutes ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'm in favour of this, but that worries me.

In general, such actions will also raise the price of other goods as demand increase. You'd also need to keep non-meat prices low, and that'll be expensive, meaning cuts elsewhere.

Making the world vegan isn't just about stopping the meat industry, that's rather like pulling cogs from a machine and praying it still runs. It's about designing a better machine that doesn't need those cogs, sacrificing to build it, and making sure it really is better.

For the vegan path that means sustainable agriculture (it isn't at the moment), replicating tastes and caloric density (a key element of human culture), avoiding creating new issues (e.g. overuse of sugar, dietary issues with mycelial/nut sensitivity), and pushing food costs down.

So, if you want the world to be vegan, drop your current life and start working on the above!

We throw so much veg and bread and everything away, I would say it's likely there's plenty for everyone to eat even if we stopped producing meat this very instance. But obviously no one is arguing for that because that isn't feasible. We don't have the numbers (yet) to force this.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 minutes ago

You WILL eat your veggies and you WILL be happy!

between you drinking tea without milk and mom losing her child for said milk your "sacrifice" seems kinda like just entitlement.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 3 points 26 minutes ago (1 children)

Straight to ad hominem - nothing of value to engage with here.

lmao I wasn't attacking your person (I am now though lol) I was calling your act entitled, based on the argument before. Yeah if you think you're entitled to kill anothers child and take her milk, that's entitlement. Literally the definition lmfao, begging redditors to actually look up the terms they use blobcat, laughing
