Hahaha, so I was watching a Vice documentary called "Interview With a Cannibal," which centers around Issei Sagawa, a Japanese man who murdered and cannibalized (and in between those two acts, he actually raped her corpse) a Dutch woman named Renée Hartevelt. Amazingly, he was only detained for a couple of years before being declared legally insane and unfit to stand trial; he is still free to this day, and is a minor celebrity of sorts in Japan.
Anyway, I felt compelled to browse the comments of the video (which is always a fucking terrible idea) and came across a truly exceptional individual named Cassandra. And what did this wise, brave Youtube commenter have to tell us? View attachment 36178
That's right, Cassandra here doesn't see any difference between eating a cheeseburger and fucking CANNIBALISM. That doesn't sound insane at all.
A couple of vegans commented on her post, before Apex_Predator1998 had this to say: View attachment 36179View attachment 36180
(note: I don't ever approve of "kill yourself" messages, but this one was so well used it's kind of hard not to chuckle at it)
Anyway, then along came fellow vegan ns94, who probably has the single most misinformed and delusional comment in the entire comment section:

You heard it here first, folks. People only started eating animals 2,000 years ago, after the birth of Christianity. Before then, everyone was a nature-loving vegan. We haven't discovered ancient hunting weapons or wall paintings or historical accounts anything at all that suggests that our ancestors hunted animals and later domesticated them for easier access to meat. Nope, no evidence at all. And even if those things did exist, hunting and killing for food was always considered an abominable act, not natural at all!
Some more people, armed with logic and common sense, tried to talk sense into Cassandra and the other vegans in the thread:
Ah yes. I sure know that every Sunday we recite Jesus's core teaching: "Thou shalt rend the skin and flesh from the swine and tear it violently between thine teeth until thou art prepared to swallow the swineflesh. Hereafter, thou shalt eviscerate the bull, and having done so, select the choicest cuts of meat to place within your murder receptacle to chew."
I dissected and ripped apart the musculature of a chicken's leg, peeling away the flesh from the tendon, skin, and bone... It was the most delicious chicken that I had in months, since that dark meat stayed nice and juicy.
In short: shock tactics don't work since most people are rather aware they're eating flesh. Doubly so since I know that most meat plants actually have some level of standards.
Fun Fact: There is, in fact, a critically important component of meat called Carnosine that appears to have many beneficial effects of consumption.
Another Fun Fact: Humans only evolved big brains after being so good at finding and eating the ancient equivalent of fried cheese (usually scavenged brains)
Last Fun Fact: I actually lived with a crazy guy that went vegan after becoming convinced after horribly presented documentaries like Forks Over Knives that it would be the best way to lose weight and help his health problems. I was his chef for awhile, and I didn't mind, because I enjoy cooking vegan and you'd be surprised at how easy it can be.
After awhile though, I was fatigued all the time, and then I got fed up because he wouldn't even let me bring eggs that were from locally raised, free range chickens into the house because "they'll make you fat, remember the China study?!" He is currently on a plateau with his weight loss because he eats processed Vegan crap with the fake cheese all the time after I left.
As someone who has a harsh disease that causes me not to be vegan, (SHOCKER-a disease that won't allow you to go vegan. ) this offends me greatly. I can't physically be vegan or else it will shred my colon, literally.
I have been on IVs and I have been unable to eat, so it irks me when people feel the need to suggest that they can handle something they never experienced. It's also irks me when they suggest that I clearly don't deserve to be happy and pain free because of an animal.
So, according to Tumblr, sentient beings are at least as important as sapient beings? I can't say I'm surprised to hear that coming from them, can't have a social life if everyone avoids you because you keep spouting Tumblrisms and no fun allowed tantrums.

I`m guessing most militant vegans disagree with this one, thankfully. She seems to have gotten some complaints on that subject. (I can rattle off easily some diseases that won't allow you to go vegan)
I watched one of those shock documentaries where they show animals being slaughtered and abused in farms and I continued to eat meat. I wanted to go vegetarian (not vegan, I can't live without cow's milk) but it didn't work out too well.
I'm not sure why vegans won't eat honey though, bees make more than enough honey to survive and we're not enslaving them, bees get shelter, protection from predators and abundant flowers to make food with and we get products like honey and beeswax.
Also bees are held in high esteem by bee keepers, they're treated very well

Yeast is a major component for brewing beer, and don't let any of those whiny gluten-free, vegans tell you otherwise. It's an important element that determines the taste of the beer, and converts all those sugars into alcohol. It will not be the same without it. Besides, who the hell wants to have a beer that has no alcoholic content? It just seems pointless.
If you want to go vegan, just drink hard liquor instead!

Yeast certainly aren't animals, as they are unicellular, like bacteria. About the only thing I can think of that yeast have in common with animals is they have mitochondria.

not all fungi are unicellular, fungi form masses called hyphae which are multicellular, yeast are mostly unicellular but there are some multicellular species
yeast also have an ancestral posterior flagella and use chitinous cell walls as opposed to cellulose cell walls and they cannot perform photosynthesis due to lack of chloroplasts
