Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
How do they even oppose THAT?
It’s not like the dairy industry is cruelty-free, y’know. Cows need to be given hormones in order to lactate constantly, and once they get past the age where they can be milked, what do you think happens to them?
I’m neither vegetarian nor vegan, but I think people need to recognize where their food comes from, and that it’s not all sunshine and roses.
