Vegans who are vegans due to some moral notion are usually CSMs in my opinion.

"How can you eat that steak? You monster"

*drives away in petrol powered car, to the supermarket, in a Gap tshirt, near to his home where the local MP voted for fracking" etc.

They just remind me of that South Park episode where they all love sniffing their own farts.

And don't wonder where the leather their shoes, belts and jackets are made of come from.

Two things;

Firstly, if your food has to be chemically engineered in a laboratory, probably best not to eat it.

Secondly, how can you be morally against eating animal flesh but enjoy something that looks, smells and even bleeds like it? The two are not compatible.

I don't know all the details but I don't think this 'burger' is grown from cells, if that's what you mean by "chemically engineered in a lab", but rather it's put together from existing plant matter.

I don't see why you can't be against animals being slaughtered for food, but still enjoy something that taste likes meat. I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan by the way.

That would be biologically engineered not chemically engineered.
 
Watch this. All of it. With an open mind. Then go look in the mirror with honesty.
Then let's see who still supports eating meat.

I didn't think it'd take that long.

I support it. Cognitive dissonance, animal rape, fish are for friends, not for food, etc.
 
Surprised this thread continues. It suggest the following:

There is a recognition in 2016 that a human animal can sustain itself and live out a lengthy life without any need for animal-derived sustenance.
Recognizing this can cause pangs of conscience for those who enjoy animal foods yet knowing that that enjoyment necessitates the raising of many animals in discomfot and the termination of their lives quite often in a painful manner.
To "deal" with this discomfort, those who eat animal foods tend to seek support from each other to corroborate very spurious allegations regarding vegans, vegan culture, & vegan lifestyles.
Live with your discomfort - don't character assassinate the messenger - ultimately it will not lessen your gnawing conscience.
 
Higuain has smashed a few lunches this summer...none of which were vegan by the looks of it?! Move over Jon Parkin

Bacon.
Bacon is my retort to that.

Describing it as faux leather isn't as good a selling point.

Is polyurethane as enviromentally unsound as PVCs?

It's normally referred to as PU Leather, it's generally only referred to as Vegan Leather on women's clothes aimed at students.

PU is much less damaging to the environment and has replaced PVC in the fashion industry.

I can't take a vegan seriously if they promote this man. He compares animal farming to the holocaust and has claimed impregnating dairy cows is no different to a human woman being raped. Not to mention the amount of pseudo-science and outright lies in that speech.

If you want to be a vegan then that's your choice but don't use that man as your spokesperson because he undermines everything you stand for.
