So... Tell me how vegan alternatives to items reduce carbon footprint lol.

Vegans in ideology make sense, but if you are paying more for food [that's worse for you, instead:] just buy local stuff from your farmers market or ethically-farmed things... Local eggs, cows, vegetables... Surely this can't be unreasonable.

  1. Oil comes from dinosaurs.
  2. Electricity comes from oil.
  3. This means electricity is made from dinosaurs.
  4. Dinosaurs are animals.
  5. This means electricity is an animal product.

How curious it is that vegans still use electricity, when in most places it isn't even vegan!

It's not them not eating meat that I have a problem with(even though it's not healthy), it's the self-righteousness of it.

I think veganism is useless. However, I'm not going to argue

To be fair. There is much debate around whether livestock is indirectly carbon neutral with very valid studies on both sides

Check out the "sodcasts" of Peter Ballerstedt on his YouTube channel. He's a forage agronomist with a lot of knowledge. You may not like his conclusions, but he gives you the data to check them out.
