My point is it is stupid to virtue signal that you’re a good person for not harming animals while you’re harming plants. Vegans even harm thousands of rodents and insects via mass farming. Avoiding harming every single multi-cell form of life is an exhausting and endless exercise. Individual adults can draw their own lines for their own lives. I don’t believe is is moral to force children or pets to be vegan. (Inb4 anybody’s eating pets reply.)
Ultimately, I believe it is moral enough to continue most regional predation hierarchies as is. It is complex and there are many nuances. There is no universal guideline that should apply to every village globally.

I am irritated because by focusing on how vegans act (hypocritically, virtue signalling, etc...) you are avoiding the core moral question of whether it's ever okay to torture or kill others for the sake of food. What if vegans killed themselves? What if animals could talk? You are just as bad as vegans.
