Vlog: The Great Vegetarian vs. Meat Eater Debate

There is a heated battle over fundamentalist vegetarian and fundamentalist meat eaters. I have no problem with regular vegetarians or meat eaters. I find this battle that some how boils down to "morality" fascinating and present to you my rant.

Veganism is about imposing the least amount of suffering.

Although animal rights is a main concern for most ethical vegans, animal agriculture is a layered issue, and is a leading contributor to many global detriments. Including world hunger, environmental hazard, and health crisis.

Veganism is a lifestyle, not just plant-based nutrition. However, all can live well on plant-based nutrition - even if one needs to cook their veggies. Thus, animal farming is unnecessary.

Dogs are omnivorous.

@thestreetsempty Dogs are opportunistic carnivores, which is often mistaken as omnivorous. Crappy pet food companies that sponsor veterinary continuing education credit seminars push this idea (as they too write the books on animal nutrition., controlling information). Can they survive as omnivores, sure, we can survive on McDonald's. Is it healthy? No.

You got veganism right though. Thanks for watching my video and taking time to comment, I appreciate it!

[thestreetsempty]

@dexamethasone Ah, I'm sorry. You meant the dog being omnivore is misinformation. I thought you were calling me a liar, lol. I actually consider humans opportunistic frugivores. I will have to research dogs being carnivores. I know they require taurine, but my dog is a healthy vegan (supplemented). Vegetarian, one day a week.

I agree pet food is bad. I don't feed that crap to my dog - Alpo class-action lawsuit - everyone should look that up!

[dexamethasone]

@thestreetsempty No worries. I agree with you 100% re: humans as oppertunistic frugivores. I'm allergic (throat itches then swells up making it hard to breathe) to many vegetables but thrive on fruit. I've also been making my own dog food for a couple of years (if you look on my channel you'll see the video on how I make their food). Dogs do need taurine. Raw beef liver usually supplies them with enough.

@thestreetsempty Unless you're a cat, then you need higher levels. Rats and mice actually have the highest level of taurine of any other animal (which explains why cats need so much of it).

@thestreetsempty I speak from experience on the text books and seminars for veterinarians and vet. techs. Full of misinformation so companies can push their own products. Baby food companies try and do this too with pediatric medical field but it's not as extensive.

Yeah it seems to be the law that if you're a woman on youtube, you need to make sure peopel can see your cleavage.

Animal abuse is not an excuse for being vegan. Not a good one at least.

By extending moral significance to animals and omitting moral significance to plants is an inconsistent train of thought.

[thestreetsempty]

@dexamethasone What is misinformation? Livestock's Long Shadow is released by the U.N. (June, 2010). The meat and dairy industry is government subsidized. So, I'm not quite sure your objective now, other than engaging people and then denying all they say before researching.

[thestreetsempty]

Humans are highly intelligent. We reason and use logic to make choices. Nonhuman animals act on instinct. They do not imbalance the ecosystem - although we tend to blame them, it is our species at the root of imbalancing the ecosystem.

If you have actual questions, I could answer them for you. But I think simply researching this issue would allow you to find sources you find objective and unbiased, to determine for yourself if it is appropriate that we question our culture and implement change.
