Ugh I deleted that comment by mistake while editing it.

Let me ask you: Does the world currently have the ability to live 100% vegan? I’m not asking “will it ever be 100%” I am asking “can the entire populace live vegan?”

There are also major issues with your linked arguments. It seems to like to skirt around things with half truths. “Eggs are immoral because we kill the chickens” ignores the fact that many people have egg chickens, intending to just let them live and produce. There is no rule that says once a chicken stops producing it needs to be killed.

I’m not doing a deep dive. But when you are the one asking the questions, of course you’re going to have all the answers.

no not everyone can eat a plant based diet, but they can still avoid other animal products and testing

Plants are also living creatures, aren't you just drawing the line a bit further, and acting like its the only true way?

Why is it ok to harvest, kill, eat plants and not animals?

First of all I think that violence in self defense or survival is justified, plants have tropisms which means they have small hard coded responses to certain stimuli like leaning toward light, they do not have any form of sense processing thus no awareness no preference theyre an object

Even if you wanted to minimise the harm caused to plants, it takes far more plants to feed livestock to sustain an omnivorous diet
