I just want to be clear what your position is. You're not just encouraging veganism, you're calling on the violence of the police to beat and imprison people who eat meat.

Of course if you imprison all meat eaters but still use oil to harvest, process, and distribute all the plant based foods then the world will still burn, but that's beyond the scope of this particular issue.
Congratulations, you perfected strawmanning. I have no idea who you are replying to. There is nothing in there that I wrote.
