    The millions of creatures killed directly or indirectly in the process of growing crops must give the ethical vegans sleepless nights. :biggrin:

    Quite
    That’s why it’s better not to have any ethics…

    I think much would depend on what the brain tells you to do,a physiological response if you like?

    Fight or FLIGHT seems to be the order of the day in this case and some chose FLIGHT...

    Maybe so for strict buddhists. For most vegans I guess it's about not abusing and needlessly slaughtering sentient animals (of which we are just one).
    The vast majority of crops are grown to feed animals that 'we' then eat. More than enough crops are grown to eliminate global hunger, but most of it goes to feed animals (mad world isn't it!), so if the world or even the majority of the world went vegan / vegetarian / PB, there would be less crops needed and therefore fewer 'millions of creatures killed directly or indirectly in the process of growing crops'. There would also be far less pollution & environment damage, and the world would likely be a kinder place too.
    p.s. I'm not vegan, 'just' WFPB like Den.
    p.p.s. I know it was a wind up and I know you already knew

    Think they'd need twice as many to keep it down Den. Force of nature.

    Only the truly insane can argue that those with the most power are discriminated against.

    Haven’t we all when a mod arbitrarily decides some things are wrong whilst allowing others to remain. Wonder why?
