Sure, if you don’t mind breeding vegetables for your own greedy enjoyment, I guess you can get on a high horse just because you don’t also abuse animals.
Growing plants to eat kills fewer plants than growing plants to feed to livestock which you then eat. The “plants’ rights activist” argument is invalid.
Curious to hear your explanation for how being non-vegan can be more ethical than being vegan. I’ve heard some people make interesting cases for this, by the way, but I’ve yet to see one that can be practically applied as an alternative to our current food system.
Help me out here then. You said being vegan and not being vegan are both ethical choices, like the trolley problem.
In the trolley problem, an ethical case can be made for pulling the lever or not, so I thought you were saying an ethical argument could be made for both being vegan and not being vegan. I was curious to hear your argument for the latter.
That being vegan is an ethical choice compared to not being vegan.

Can you elaborate on what you actually meant?
right. that’s not the same as saying one is more ethical.
What’s your ethical argument for not being vegan?
there is no ethical duty to be vegan. so not being vegan is a valid choice. the choice to be vegan is amoral.
Are you saying that morality does not factor into how humans treat animals?
