Using a computer, having running water, driving a car, etc are all wasteful activities. And yet in every other instance people seem happy to simply reduce their use to "save the planet". But vegans say you can't reduce meat consumption, you must eliminate it. This seems a stark contrast to everything else, if your argument is environmental damage.
I'm not a vegan, but I know several vegans who would disagree with your over-generalization. Please don't hijack this sub-thread.
I don't think it's a generalization, and I don't really care that you "know several vegans" that disagree.
