It's tough changing minds in general, especially when the topic entails labeling your past and likely present self a serial animal abuser. Something most vegans went through already and had to overcome.

I do! But I also value animals, and consuming their dead corpses is completely unnecessary and on top of that is wasteful, hurting humans in the process.

While animals can eat waste from crops grown for humans, that's a minority of their feed. Almost all new corn and soy cropland is cut to meet growing animal agriculture demand.

How does eliminating animal fat and protein cause health and nutrition problems? Humans are perfectly capable of living on vegan diets at all stages of life.

How do you plan to destroy the meat industry without anyone going vegan? You realize the meat industry is funded by non-vegans, right? And tax payers, of course, who also eat meat and won't support policy that challenges their freedom.

Companies and their leaders are paid by individuals, lol. Going vegan definitely does help.

Even still, why did you only mention carbon emissions? The question was about making a better society. Did you forget that veganism is about animal rights?

Classic "I won't change my behavior unless everyone else does too" comment. Keep doing you!

If you pay for it, it's not a byproduct

Mammals are not a source of b12. They get it from their diets. In cows it is artificially supplemented.

Livestock have joyful lives before being killed peacefully 🤗
