so you eat eggs and meat and cheese exclusively to not exploit migrants farming the vegetables you eat?
what about going vegan and buying organic vegetables if you’re so concerned about human labor being exploited? I know I can’t afford it, but the least I can do I be vegan and abstain from unjustified and unnecessary animal cruelty, no?
This conversation was spawned from a question about home-raised livestock. My reply is specifically in that context. I would rather raise a chicken for it’s eggs and treat it as well as possible than put those same resources in the hands of exploitative grocers and produce providers.
It is far more feasible for an individual to raise one or two chickens for eggs than it is for them to farm the equivalent protein from vegan food sources.
As I originally said, my concern is with people who do not consider the downstream consequences of their decisions thoroughly and ignore or disregard the ways in which they contribute to human suffering while placing a high priority on animal suffering.
We all have limited options. Of course we should do what we can to eliminate suffering and exploitation in every way possible, both for humans and animals. But I have seen friends who went vegan gleefully buying soy products from Walmart even after being shown the option of raising a chicken at home and claiming a moral victory.
It is not necessary to eat eggs, so why bother keeping chicken captive and occupying nature with providing their food? When vegetable nutrients are consumed directly, you’ll need less area to grow them.

Everybody knows that animal feed comes from magical farms that never exploit humans.
Come on you vegan dummy, go get your B12 supplement. >!/s!<
So funny how when ‘vegan’ is mentioned, everybody is a homesteader.

It bugs me 🤷♀️

I’ve answered this multiple times already. I’m not going to write it out again. Feel free to read my other comments.
