Pretty sure that the Rolling Stones has a whole song about where this “beef” is coming from.

    Some people would apparently be dragged in front of a firing squad than learn to like tofu, seitan, beans and other nutritious sources of plant-based protein.

    As a vegan, I’m finding I enjoy food way more than I did as a carnist. It’s an adventure.

            There is no vegan god. There’s only the animals that have no voice, and you exploit them as if you’re entitled to their bodies. You treat living beings like property. Not even our distant hunter gatherer ancestors did that, in a context where they had no choice in order to survive. Animals were respected for the nutrition they provided.

            There is zero respect to the autonomy of an animal in an modern context where we have zero need for animal exploitation.

            You don’t need cheese to survive. Those who don’t see the intersectionality between human and non-human exploitation; I question whether they really understand anti-exploitation at all.

            So in the end you answer only to your own conscience. And yes, how we treat non-human animals reflects how we treat one another. We can evolve beyond violent simians, or we can stay stuck in our base impulses.

            You can do want you want, but at least pause on a daily basis and reflect you were fortunate enough not to be born an animal destined for human exploitation.

                You know what? I missed that you’re making cheese from your own breast milk.

                I read that as, “I make my own cheese (from cows milk).”

                Whether you were trolling or not carry on! My brain didn’t register it because it’s not a sentence I often see.
