Is veganism the more moral choice?

Probably the most common statement I see from non-vegans is “vegans kill animals too” or “what about crop deaths?” This also ties into “we don’t have enough land to support a plant-based diet.” …read more
Saying something is right because “we’ve always done it this way” is a terrible argument. That sentiment has been used to promote slavery, denying women the right to vote, preventing LGBTQIA+ people from marrying, and all sorts of other forms of discrimination. …read more
