we spend several years learning about all the presidents (knowledge we will never use again), then we briefly gloss over native genocide (who lived happily ever after once Thanksgiving was invented), then slavery ended with the civil war, fascism ended with world wars I and II, then MLK Jr ended racism when he is shot (probably by the FBI, but we weren't told that), then we learn that communism is bad and ended with the cold war

    long-time vegan here, this argument is as old as time.

    is it ethical to kill? no.

    do humans need meat to survive? no.

    is animal agriculture equivalent to slavery? yes.

    if you eat meat, deep down inside you know you're supporting: murder, rape, entrapment, torture, and slavery. that includes eggs and milk.

    bonus fun fact: pigs are smarter than dogs
