[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (3 children) I've literally never heard a vegan claim to not eat any living thing. We know plants are alive lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Leeker@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Since when have plants been alive? This is news to me. Next thing you are going to tell me is that plants also crave Brawndo. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago Plants crave Brawndo. That's a great slogan if you ask me. Now I crave it also. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago And I'm not trying to say vegans are dumb or ignorant about that. Just that I've had the experience of some of them seeming surprised and disagreeing that plants are living things. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tygerprints@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Funny - that is an about face from what vegans used to claim. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chetradley@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* You're saying "vegans" as if we're a monolith. I'm sure there are vegans who aren't aware that plants are considered living, but I'm sure there's about the same percentage of meat eaters who aren't either. If every vegan you've ever talked to (or some, since you've made both claims) has this misconception, I'm willing to bet your sample size is extremely small, or you're being intentionally dishonest to support your initial claim. permalink fedilink source parent
