  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

They stopped being "their" gains when they ceased to live, and became "your" gains when you ate them.

The same statement is true for plants, too.

(Saying this as someone who eats very little meat for animal rights reasons, and merely wishes to be padantic right now for some reason)

That seems just like a strange interpenetration to me, like the point is that is should be theirs?

For the plants part, it's worth mentioning that it takes more plants for animal products than it does to eat them directly

1 kg of meat requires 2.8 kg of human-edible feed for ruminants and 3.2 for monogastrics

Or maybe they were just trying to be funny after going vegan?

They left out the part where everybody clapped.

It just sounds like a vegan wrote this story
