Are you stupid? Genuine question, because animals need to eat as well for you to pay someone to murder them. Even going from the assumption that plants suffer too, a plant based diet still causes much fewer plants to die compared to feeding the plants inefficiently to animals to then eat the animals.

    Are you stupid? Genuine question Liar. You’re just being a dick here. No bother though. Like I said before, what matters is what we do before we eat them. Industrial farming practices are where I see the real problems at - and the key thing is that this is an issue for both meant and plant farming. Plant based diets can definitely be more efficient, although palm oil is also vegan (and palm oil farming is currently the cause of a massive amount of habitat loss), so just because you have a plant based diet doesn’t mean it’s perfect. But what I’m saying here is that eating plants is not inherently more righteous than eating animals. In practice, it almost certainly is (mainly because of farming practices), but not inherently.

    eating meat today doesn’t cause it to have been fed in the past. events in the future cannot cause events in the past. eating meat doesn’t cause past suffering.
