    You must have very short-term memory. Sorry if that’s the case.

    apparently you have reading comprehension issues-- you read me asking a question and interpreted that as a statement. or… you’re so bold as to lie while providing evidence that it’s a lie…

    If you opposed child labor, you should want the animal ag industry abolished.

    oh, so, you’re a psychic now? fascinating! what color shirt am i wearing?

    Veganism has not once been brought up by me. However, since you invoked it: yeah, actually, taking a holistic approach to addressing exploitation, including animal exploitation, would, in fact, lead to a reduction in child exploitation.

    see, this is what i meant by disingenuous. the mental gymnastics, the twisting of words and intentions… you’ve outdone yourself. well done. you’ve straw manned your straw man. you’ve assumed i agree with your position that eating meat = animal exploitation, that it’s an established fact, which it isn’t and i don’t. that’s just your opinion, and a far more complex issue than you present it as. then you make a massive association fallacy with your straw man by trying to equate it to the actual, very complex issue under discussion: child labor/exploitation.

    and, again, for calling you out on this, you attack, lie, and mischaracterize everything i’ve said.

      you’ve assumed i agree with your position that eating meat = animal exploitation,

      this is a bare fact. like drinking water is often exploited from a well. exploitation is not bad in itself.

        How narcissistic to assume your opinion must be a fact and anyone who disagrees must be attacked. This is exactly what makes vegans so insufferable.

        Get over yourself.

          you should check a dictionary. farmers exploit their fields, oil companies exploit wells. don’t take my word for it

          and the other people in my inbox certainly don’t think I’m vegan. why do you?
