This is well known to vegans. The definition of veganism is to reduce animal suffering as much as possible and practicable. It's not possible to reduce it to 0. >

But the suffering makes it taste so much better >

it actually does not. If animals feel fear before being slaughtered their meet doesn't taste as good anymore. >

That’s because a long time ago there was a mutated gene that allowed us to taste the chemicals released by fear, it helped give our brain the necessary positive chemicals to survive and thrive. It’s thought that most vegans/vegetarians don’t have this mutation. >

It's thought by whom lmao >

I now realize that my real life humor of just bullshitting somewhat realistic sounding, but really stupid ideas won’t work on Reddit. >

A vegetarian or vegan diet consumes way less plants and uses less cropland than a meat diet, because it takes a huge amount of plants to feed the animals that we eat. It takes something like 10 lbs of plants to get a pound of meat. >

But sustainably farmed beef for example can be grass fed (which humans can't eat) on land that is unsuitable for food crop farming. So is this OK? >

And harvesting hay from meadows somehow does not involve crop deaths? >

Exactly. These people live in a dream world. >
