    My sis had to loosen her vegetarian standards for the sake of her daughters health.

    We are omnivores, accept that fact. While you can survive without flesh (and the modern person eats too much of it), it requires personal effort and research to find substitutes, with the risk of damaging your health. And most just prefer some meat or fish now and then.

    Btw, almost all herbivores are opportunistic omnivores, because they can’t research substitutes. Even sheep eat chicks, there, i said it.

      Cool anecdote.

      Cool pseudo-science derived from an anecdote. Even if I believed your story, in reality people don’t actually need meat.

      it requires personal effort and research to find substitutes

      Yes, it takes effort to do something different from the rest of society. Apparently you’ve never done this.

      And most just prefer some meat or fish now and then.

      Cool story.

      Nobody gives a shit. Nobody is saying go veg because sheep are veg. This is just more wacky carnist babbling.

      I accept it; I enjoy most types of meat. But the fact that you can survive without meat makes it optional, which is relevant to the debate we were having about the morality of killing/harming animals for different purposes.

        You can survive without eating any food for some amount of time. Fasting works until you run out of fat. It’s not sustainable.

        It is not possible to be healthy sustainability on zero animal products, those that do it require supplements.
