Is vegetarianism dead? These days it seems you have to go full vegan to show you really care

75. Thank you.

"Idiot" is rather gentle for whoever said it, though.

If everyone just cut back on meat consumption - "less meat" rather than obligate "meatless" diet - it would make a huge positive impact for all species. Anyone just needs to observe nature a little bit to understand the food chain. One can eat some meat and still strive for relatively cruelty-free sourcing of it. So, one can care and still consume some meat; and certainly one can care about a lot of things, and none of us are pure in every way.

If supporting the human population on the planet would require 100% of us be vegan, than that population number is too high. (it is already anyway, but that's a whole separate, and unpleasant, subject)

But if someone IS a vegan (as I presume you are, from your screen name), GREAT!! That helps cover for the folks who haven't learned the less-meat way yet.
