      I had an argument on here with someone saying poor people can’t be vegan because if they were truly poor then they would eat anything to sustain themselves. Only rich people are allowed to have principles.

    I can’t change your view as it’s objectively correct.

    I have adopted the superior diet: 100% free range agricultural workers. By turning them into food I actually delete their exploitation from moral calculus. Checkmate vegoons.

      I’m guessing they typed that comment on an electronic device that was manufactured by Uyghur slave labor in China. Good luck buying anything outside of a farmer’s market without exploiting workers today.

          There’s no reason to imply extremism. I’m saying there will be a degree of worker exploitation in anything outside of locally sourced products. I personally don’t know of any staple imports that are grown and harvested through labor unions or socialism. If you know of any, please share.
