Calling the flesh of animals "animal flesh" is biased apparently. Discuss.

@MEBC_Redux @ScepticalDoctor Itโ€™s the silly use of โ€œanimal fleshโ€ instead of โ€œmeatโ€ that comes across as biased and manipulative.

People in the main don't stick to diets long-term (this includes plant-based diets). But in my estimation, very few ethical #vegans quit veganism (that is, turn their backs on the plight of non-human animals).

FACT: There's a global consensus (among experts) about what makes up a healthy diet. ๐Ÿ’ฌ The idea that there isn't, is an illusion sustained by online grifters, numerous fad diets, diet zealots, tabloid journalism, popular nutrition books & what not.

This is a vacuous take. If you *choose* to eat animals & their products, please don't cling to the fantasy/cope that this is necessary for health/survival.

Eggs are not chicken periods ๐Ÿค“ ๐Ÿ’ฌ This is something #vegans say to make them sound disgusting: it's inaccurate ๐Ÿ˜ก Eggs = ovulations that are pushed out of a poultry bird's cloaca (a cavity that releases both excretory & genital products). Yummersโ—๏ธ๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ˜‹
