To be clear, I believe vegan/vegetarian is the morally correct position even though I do eat meat. My point is that if we worked together we could cause more good in the world than we do by fighting.
Getting the average omnivore down to the recommended 6-8 ounces of meat per day would make a tremendous difference on its own. I really didn’t know how much excess protein I was consuming until I made some vegan and vegetarian friends.
Isn’t the recommended amount a lot lower than 6-8 ounces? It’s like 500g or 5 ounces per week.

“Our adversaries are the people on the other side of the aisle. Our enemies are right here”
Same. People literally can not comprehend that I accept whole heartedly that I believe many of the things that I do and continue to do to be immoral.
Yeah, maybe I love meat too much and I'm too weak. That has absolutely nothing to do with how I establish my moral compass.
I'd like to be a truely good person, but I'll be goddamned if the way I do that is lowering the bar to where I already stand.
People who try to live a wholly moral life end up like Doug Fawcett
I'd love to reduce my regular meat intake to zero when my finances stabilize.

The rich don't even have to lift a finger to divide the left.
And then, to perfectly demonstrate your point: 90% of this comments section!

Vegan here, bottom left is a very small but sometimes very loud minority.
Top left is kinda wrong because veganism is a moral position. You wouldn't say „I personally don't like killing people but I do respect your religious tradition of human sacrifice“ (being hyperbolic to hammer home the point).
Mostly, a vegan diet is even cheaper than an omnivorous diet and where that might not be the case there's A.) something completely wrong with the agricultural economy and B.) most vegans would agree that these problems need to be solved.
(and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there some political quafaffel about egg prices being too high in the US? (half joke here))
@AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee I see the point you're trying to make (and explained in your other comment) but this is an unfair misrepresentation of vegans. I'm sure this is your perception, but it seems your perception is warped and ill informed by said small but loud minority of vegans and also other, usually intentional misrepresentation of vegans by other media.
Edit for the boneheads that rip shit out of context and are just unable of reading a text:
The loud minority is people screaming around that people should rather starve before eating animals. Most vegans usually keep to themselves and if a discussion comes to the topic of veganism explain their point like the normal people they are.
Isn't it a little weird to call vegans who say eating meat is murder a "loud minority", and then explaining why you cannot be a vegan without saying that eating meat is murder (hyperbole or not)?
Is there something in your comment I'm missing, or is this supposed to be some self-aware joke?

You don't see irony here?
You're just said in essence that vegans have a moral high ground in comparison to meat eaters. That's precisely what bottom left represents.
I mean... If they didn't believe veganism had a moral high ground they wouldn't be doing it. That's something and badgering people about how eating meat is literally murder is something else.
People don’t like being told they don’t have the high ground.
Me? I love a good wallow.

In most cultures killing people is significantly worse than killing animals, so this comparison doesn't really make sense.
The point I'm trying to make is that if vegans and non vegans worked together we could lower the amount of meat we eat and reduce the suffering of animals, even if it's not the perfect goal of zero animal product consumption. And that's something we should all want to work towards.
