Veganism has the unassailable moral high ground. Change my mind.

Among populations where eating meat and animal products in not made necessary by economic conditions, vegans are morally correct that animal suffering trumps your enjoyment of animal products.

I am human and I am made to eat meat. There is no morality involved.

You're a human and you were made to lose all your teeth by 35 and die by 50. Does that make it moral to allow this to happen to you?

My point being that it is a naturalistic fallacy to equate what is natural to what is moral.
Sure, you evolved to seek out high protein sources like meat when you could get them but that doesn't mean that you as a thinking human being are excused of the moral responsibility for the [i]choice[/i] to do so.

@Pikachu I think human beings are above animals on the whole. Besides I am French and you should see the choice of meats here 🤣

@revenant

What do you mean by "above" and how would it morally justify inflicting suffering unnecessarily?

@Pikachu I certainly am not for animal torture and I do feel sorry for the animals when I see abattoirs. Actually seeing little chicks being ground up alive make cry. I really wish this would not happen.
