The only hard part about being vegan is having witnessed animals bleed to death, getting ignored by friends and family and attacked for trying to defend animals from a cruel and unnecessary death.

[@RC-qf3mp]

All animals die, often brutally by being eaten by other animals, or languishing slowly from disease. You seem to be uneasy about the cycle of life. There’s nothing ‘cruel’ about a tiger eating a zebra or a lion eating a gazelle for a big fish eating a smaller fish. Humans are omnivores and at the top of the food chain. We are predators and have eyes in the front of our heads and fangs - as Darwin observed. There are better and worse ways of caring for animals for human consumption - ‘better’ in terms of nutritional value, taste and environmental impact. The best way to raise livestock is with regenerative farming that enriches the soil and lets grasses and vegetables flourish with the flourishing of the livestock. There’s no waste on such farms … everything that is ‘waste’ for one animals is nourishment for another. Even human food doesn’t go to waste - all leftovers go to pigs, who happily eat it, get fat, and become tasty food one day in turn. Local ecologies increase their biodiversity. Crops use the manure instead of having to add petrochemicals and pesticides on monocultures (which is where most vegan food comes from). It’s glorious to be human and eat such a wide variety of animals, from fish and steak to pork and chicken. We literally were born to do this, to eat this way, and to relish in our place in the world. To deny that is to deny your own humanity.

[@Psartz]

@RC-qf3mp What cycle of life are you referring to? In the wild, animals experience a balanced 50-50 chance of survival. From birth, they engage in play, grow, roam freely, and establish their families. Consider a tiger: it must make numerous attempts before securing a meal, symbolizing the innate challenges of the wild. This scenario is worlds apart from the existence of a mother pig giving birth confined to a cage on a metal floor without nest, surrounded by disease and death. Such an environment is far from natural; it's worse than a prison sentence without committing any crime. Imagine sitting in an enclosed cage for 24 hours. Her entire life is spent indoors, devoid of any daylight, ultimately leading to a gas chamber. This stark comparison highlights the profound disparities between natural and captive life.

[@RC-qf3mp]

@@Psartz there is only one ‘cycle of life’ and that’s the one I’m referring to. No, animals do NOT have 50-50 chance of survival. You just made that up. Animals have a 100% chance of dying, 0% of survival. You are very confused. Now you change the subject to HOW animals live. Yes, that varies drastically, and animals raised for human consumption should be raised in a manner that benefits the environment via sustainable practices, such as regenerative farming that enriches the soil and increases biodiversity of the surrounding area. You are referring to the horrible CAFO practices of modern industrial systems, which are horrible. But that is not the only way to raise livestock and not the best and not the preferred one. See videos on YT on Joel Salatin’s polyface farm for an example of biomimicry which improves the ecology and biodiversity, better not JUST for the livestock on his farm but ALL the animals in the surrounding area, and nutrient value of the food for humans, including vegetables, which grow best with manure and not chemical fertilizer. Strawmanning eating meat is like strawmanning veganism. There is smart veganism, and then there’s dumb veganism where people eat ultraprocessed ‘vegan’ food that comes from monocultures of GMOs sprayed with cancer-causing pesticides on ground that is treated with chemicals fertilizers that lead to runoff causing algae bloom far away in the oceans. Is that a fair description of ALL veganism? Of course not. You are very confused about basic facts of life. The world needs MORE regenerative farms and FEWER monocultures. What you are really against is humanity - and, frankly, tigers and all predators that eat other animals. If you saw a pride of lions about to eat a family of gazelles, and you could shoot the lions to save the gazelles, would you do it? Why not? Lions are murderers!! And eagles are murderers, and big fish that east smaller ones. People are animals too. We evolved to love eating meat for a reason. Nature doesn’t make mistakes. Human morality changes with the fashions of the type, but NO culture in world history was ever vegan. You’ve been brainwashed by fanatical religion. And one sign of that is the inability to recognize or resolve obvious contradiction. Reason doesn’t work against fundamentalists. You can’t make sense of your own thoughts.

[@Psartz]

@@RC-qf3mp you far gone in this tikitoki carnivore madness.With a 0% survival rate, no animal would be able to survive here.

[@RC-qf3mp]

@@Psartz I’m not a carnivore, I’m an omnivore, and so are you, if you’re homo sapien. That’s how we evolved. All animals die. If you want to talk about ‘survival rate’, you need to specify an age or duration. ‘Survival rate to live past one year’, for example. As for TikTok, i don’t have an account and don’t watch it. But since you chose to insult me rather than address any of the facts and arguments i cite above, i will assume you’re just a confused kid who jumped on the fanatical bandwagon of veganism to fit in with your friend-group. That’s fine, it explains why you can’t rationally defend your fanaticism. Sooner or later you’ll snap out of it. Just as some people have friends who all get tattoos or nose rings or novel pronouns.

But you judge us for eating meat from an entirely different species and validating with a hypocritical argument that all sentient life has the right to live. I ask you, who made you the king to discriminate against who gets to live. So my advice is, just live your vegan lifestyle, don't be a narcissist, and don't consider yourself a being of high morals.

You should look up the harvard study alone of joey and his high soy diet which is harmful to men and more so to boys the younger they get due to the anti-nutrients in soy and all legumes and many vegan food options..

It's okay in moderation but vegans rely on it while normal eaters have superfood meats that are impossible to replicate in a healthy diet with pasture raised meats.. It's scientifically impossible.

Regarding the other animal foods you list, it has already been demonstrated that we can obtain sufficient nutrients from plants. Obviously we also need to supplement if we only eat plants, so most vegans have fortified foods or take a B12 supplement. There is nothing wrong with soya products - unless, like any food, you eat a ludicrous excess daily, which really isn't feasible. The concept of pasture raised meats and wild caught fish is pie in the sky nonsense.

Thankyou Joey for your speech. The only outcome is that the house should be vegan. The systematic domination, enslavement & mass killing of animals has to Stop. I have stood with you and other’s who care outside slaughterhouses and seen & heard the fear and sadness in animals about to be killed & it is heartbreaking. So thankyou for raising this at the Oxford union & never stop fighting for the right’s of animals. ✊🏼

[@photorealistica]

It blows my mind that it's still controversial to be vegan. It's a small action we all can take to change the world for better. True change starts within and we can all easily participate.

[@JB.zero.zero.1]

Culture notoriously digs it's heels in, and actual change, especially what appears to be more radical, can take decades, or centuries. It is very frustrating when there are issues we need to address now - as I type. Most people really don't care about these issues.

[@Competitive_Antagonist]

Its controversial because these people are so incredibly unpleasant, that people want to eat more meat just to spite them. To them, anyone not spending all their money and free time trying to make a new diet work, is evil. We're just trying to live our lives and most of us have too much on our plate to conform to the lifestyle of people that hate us. TLDR; The worst thing about veganism are the vegans.

[@Justin-lr6yf]

why do they cost more then if they are easier to make in every way

[@fromeveryting29]

It's a no-brainer. Imagine if we went to the clothing store, and right next to each other hung two almost identical sweaters. They even cost almost the same. But on one it said "created by fairly paid, unionized workers verified by human rights organizations", and the other one you knew for a FACT was made by child-laborers who were shot if they didn't keep the production up. Still, most people chose the horrible one because it was socially embarassing to be seen with an "ethical" piece of clothing that looked marginally different. That's the moral equivalent to me. It's SOOOOO damn easy and obvious what to do in that situation. Create a damn new norm that said "individuals lives are worth more than my social comfort". It's not even about the direct econimical impact of one individual. It's about the ethical message and norm you create for your society. A political, social, ethical, healthy choice, as opposed to a cowardly and reactionary choice.

Amazing speech. It’s awful what we do to animals. The least the governments can do is lead by example and go vegan. Animals deserve to live! Thanks for speaking up for them, Joey!

[@benmrgamw681]

We definitely need to strive for better farming practices and I'd say get rid of practices that cause harm to animals for a bag etc but I digress, pasture raised and organic meats or wild caught fish is what we should all be consuming, these are the most nutrionally packed superfoods on earth that can't be replicated in veg or fruit and especially not carbs. The harms of a high soy and legume diet has already been shown by harvard and more. Stop pushing unhealthy and harmful diets on babies and children that are easily tricked. Let adults make the choice of feelings over health.

[@BenJohnson-oz8dl]

Are you not worried about proteins? Meats are full of them and are good for us, plants are lower in quality and far less. High carbohydrates is also not good at all. For the health of everyone we should eat a varied diet.

[@veganpowerlab]

@@BenJohnson-oz8dl there’s plenty of sources of plant protein. I eat on a daily basis at least 200g of protein. As for any other dietary concern (high carb, high fat, low fat etc): they’re all diets. They can be healthy in some cases and unhealthy in other cases. A varied diet rich in complex carbohydrates, high in fiber and with enough protein and unsaturated fat is, I believe, the current standard of health. Veganism is a moral stance against animal cruelty. The plant based diet that follows is merely a consequence of it.

[@JB.zero.zero.1]

@@BenJohnson-oz8dl I don't think you know what protein is, by the sounds of it. 200 grams of lentils (for instance) which are dirt cheap, is packed full of protein. You say "lower quality" - but I bet without looking you wouldn't be able to qualify that statement. Complex carbohydrates are fine for humans, we have used these for 1000s of years. I agree that we ideally need to have a varied diet - but that isn't always possible, regardless of dietary pathway.

[@BenJohnson-oz8dl]

@@veganpowerlab plant proteins that are rich in phytoestrogens.. Do you not know what that can do to males? Not only to males but young boys will have been effected more because their body can't tolerate it so much. You don't have that problem when eating meat and obviously I'm not talking about bacon or sausages, real meat that has so much of what our body likes without the many anti nutrients that plants have which block absorption of protein and more. Humans are omnivores, vegans will not and can not change this. This is all pretty easily found information.

[@clairknobloch]

The greatest speech you'll ever hear. Be vegan for the animals now!

[@benmrgamw681]

Eat and feed your family the healthiest diet you can, and that is a healthy diet with pasture raised meats, low to moderate carbs and healthy fats.. No UPF, seed oils, fast foods, high sugar diets etc etc. If you love your children then think first before feeding them a high soy and legume diet that leads to much lower sp3rm levels, can be damaging for development especially soy formula which is also high in aluminum.. So many reason not to get into this diet and happy to list them.
