Eating meat: threat or menace?

My Great-Grandfather told me how scary it was when Earth became too hot to live on. The skies burned with fire day and night, and you couldn’t walk across the street without collapsing. I asked him if he had had any kind of warning about climate change, and he said yes, there’d been articles, movies, and books about how it was going to happen. I asked him if he tried to stop it from happening, and he said yes, of course. I asked him how, and he said that he had done something called recycling, which is where you throw your garbage into different-colored boxes. I asked my mom what he was talking about, and she explained that when people become as old as my Great-Grandfather their brains start to break down and it is almost like they turn back into babies.

I’m confused. Are @PeonyWarrior vegans now?

Eating a vegan burrito every day for a month doesn’t make you a vegan.

It does if it’s all you eat, but @PeonyWarrior did not say that was the case.

Thank you for your question. Peony should speak for herself, but I identify as vegan. Sainthood isn’t required. Eating less animal products results in less climate change.

You identify as a vegan even though you only eat “less animal products,” not no animal products? Have you met

If you’re accusing me of pulling an Elizabeth Warren, then I find that deeply offensive.

I’m accusing you of saying you’re a vegan when you’re not.

Contextitarinism allows you say you’re vegan when you feel like it.

So does being mayor of New York, fun fact.

Mr. Roussel, then the Communist Party presidential candidate, was fiercely criticized in January for saying all French people should have the right to traditional fare. “A good wine, good meat, good cheese, that is French gastronomy,” he said. … Mr. Roussel’s popularity briefly surged, and thunderous applause at rallies greeted his cry of: “What are we going to eat? Tofu and soy beans? Come on!”

The crostata is vegetarian, not vegan. Pasta frolla (shortcrust) is always made with butter and often with egg.

I didn’t ask for a recipe. The food was essentially vegan.

The menu indicates which dishes are vegan.

Butter and eggs are usually made from plants.

Something is either vegan or not - a crostata isn’t vegan

You’re arguing against a straw man. I never said the crostata was vegan.

Do you read or remember (or understand) your own stuff ? Apparently being “vegan” is too much sacrifice for you

At this point I have no idea what you’re arguing about.
