Description
Nestly: People as a society and for as long as anyone can remember, have eaten both meat and plants.We eat both food groups. If you can't stand the idea of eating 'the poor animals', then that's tough, because people eat meat. And you're a person. So deal with it.
While I'm not a big fan of going vegan as a "fad". I understand that everyone has their reasons, and if done right, it can work very well! But come on, there's no need to look down on people who DO eat meat. (Or eat veggies if you're a meat eater!) As long as you're human, you're a damn omnivore, so stop giving people crap just because they eat something you don't "believe in".
If you agree that we have molars and canines for a reason, and that people should respect that we are all omnivores, (whether they think they are or not) then feel free to add this stamp to your journal if you are subscribed with this code:
While I'll listen to any reasonable opinions, if you want to leave a comment just to insult me, I'll just ignore it, and you'll look like a big jerk. So just don't waste your time.Β
This stamp really isn't meant to be offending, so I'm sorry if it offends you, but that's too damn bad.
This is my first stamp by the way. XD I'm sorry, I just couldn't find a stamp that said this, so I had to make my own. Enjoy!
EDIT: Because I am getting hundreds of comments that are still misunderstanding where I'm coming from: This stamp is to say that you are part of a race that eats all kinds of food. That's how it is, so getting offended by someone's choice of a meal and giving them grief is just silly. I don't care what you eat, but you ARE an omnivore, whether you choose to go one way or the other. So shut up, eat what you will, and respect the fact that people in general will eat all kinds of things.
Thank you for reading.

Humans evolved to be omnivores, and the proof of this is our teeth. We have biting/tearing/ripping incisors and canines (like carnivores) and chewing molars (like herbivores). Animals with diverse teeth like this tend to be omnivores. Unfortunately, facts tend not to sway towards human morality. Whether you agree or disagree, our biological evolution cannot be changed because you disagree with the morality of eating meat. There's also this thing called intelligence and fact-checking, so maybe you should go get some.

Animal meat can be consumed on its own. Where are your sources? At this point, I know you're just pulling shit out of your ass to promote your agenda. Also, morality is not necessarily an existing concept. Do you think animals are moral? Do you think animals reconsider their personal beliefs when, say, a wild dog tears open a pregnant gazelle while she's giving birth? I'm not against veganism, but you are genuinely so disconnected from reality that it's depressing.

Vitamin B12 can only be found in animal products and processed foods, and we need vitamin B12 to live.
Before humans made processed foods vegans COULDN'T exist
Not to mention meat has a FULL protein and other extra minerals that plants don't so no matter what you say meat IS healthy

And the whole "Humans are actually herbivores" is a bunch of bullshit.
If we are herbivores, then why the hell is vitamin B-12 an important requirement to the human body?

Oh looks like I found intelligent live, glad to see I'm not the only one talking about vitamin B12

Humans are natural biological omnivores.

If it were socially acceptable where you live to eat that kind of animal, and it was readily available, than yes. I'd personally be okay with it. Comparing someone to go and eat "my dog" is something completely different, as I own my dog and have a specific personal attachment to them. It's the same reason you'd likely sacrifice some rando on the street before your best friend.Β
You can argue about biology all you want on this stamp and I won't care. We're humans. We eat all sorts of things. That's society and how it works. I don't care about teeth, lol. It's not the point of the stamp.Β
I had this conversation the other day with someone who commented on here about being vegan since day 1. I don't know how I feel about that personally, since it sounds like your parents must have raised you like that. It's not bad, but something in me feels weird about it. Like some parents never gave their kids a choice, ya know? But I guess kids eat what the parents eat so it is how it is. Just a interesting thing to think about.Β

Well that's.... not healthy in its own right.
You say previously that were a vegan since 1, but that you stopped eating meat when your brother showed you a video. So how could you have been 1? x'D Just say you've loved animals since you were 1, lol.
And yeah, a lot of that media is what causes people to passionately and dramatically become vegans. It's a way to manipulatively trigger a fast emotion about something, but that documentary had 1 perspective: To show you what they wanted you to see: animal cruelty=don't eat meat because slaughterhouses are bad. Thing is, that's media for you, and you need more perspective than just one side of the story. I'm not saying that animal cruelty doesn't exist and that this situations happens. It does, but it's not the whole picture, and not all meat factories are disease-ridden where employees abuse the animals.Β

Yes!! I've seen a lot of bad vegans try and counter articles about infants that died due to crazy vegan diets by saying "You never hear them say infant dies due to omnivore diet" - as if they aren't omnivores.
We have the ability to digest both meat and plants, just because you don't eat meat or animal products doesn't change that. Humans are omnivores as a result, regardless of their personal diet.

Yeah thatβs a little nuts. Iβve known friends that have been vegan their entire life. And I mean their entire life like they never even tasted meat before because of their parents.
I guess for me, thatβs kind of like getting a two-year-oldβs ears pierced, or a tattoo, or hell even circumcised.
Youβre not old enough to choose at that point what you want with your body, so itβs kinda of sad to see parents force that so aggressively into such young kids. Especially when they have long lasting consequences.

Tbh, I wouldn't compare a vegan parents who feed their children a vegan diet to circumcising or piercing a child's ears. Aslong as the diet is healthy and they suplement any vitamins the child may not be getting from the diet, I don't see the issue.
Circumcision can't be undon but a vegan diet, whilst you can't rewrite your history, you can choose not to be vegan and you won't have nerves missing due to your parents. I mean, the same goes for parents that aren't vegans/vegatarians. We aren't complaining when they feed them a healthy diet of meat and veggies, so we shouldn't really compare when a child is being fed a healthy diet of just veggies. Key word is healthy.
If a child grows older and wants to try animal products or meat, then I think it's wrong for parents to guilt trip them into not doing so. At that point, a child should be allowed to explore and not be guiltripped by parents. (Note: I do think children should know where all their food is coming from though.)
I was referencing this caseΒ www.independent.co.uk/news/worβ¦Β ( www.vice.com/en_us/article/wjqβ¦) where vegan parents fed their infant this special milk as oppose to breast milk or formula, which ended up killing the child due to lack of vital nutriants. Then the youtubers "the vegan couple" made comments such as "You never hear them say a child died of an omnivore diet" which were really stupid.
I have nothing against vegan parents that feed their child a vegan diet if they're educated and have a healthy diet - but parents who feed their babies things that lead to them being unhealthy and even dying from malnutrition, I hate them.

Did you happen to forget that other animals also eat other animals? It's a common and natural thing in nature.
Now I don't agree with how many animals are abused for our food in the first world, as it is horrific. But no matter how you twist it, we are not only animals to eat meat. We're lucky as we do not require meat to live.
You've to have forgotten to not everyone or every child can have an all vegan diet, this is coming from someone who is slowly starting to transition to a vegatarien diet. Many disabled people are unable to live without meat based/animal products and demonising them is horrible. Not to mention poor people or people natuve to otger reigions in which 1. Animal products are cheaper than plants in many countries or 2. It is safer to eat meat than to eat plants such as tribes in the Amazon. Hell, they were and are able to do it without the torture we put them through in the first world.

We were once those animals too, that's why we still retain the ability to digest meat. If we were not built to, then we wouldn't be able to to - just like how we can't digest cellulose well.
I believe you are confusing "carnism" with "capilitilism". Capitalisim is the reason the majority of the food created is simply thrown away, and has caused an overflow of food in the first world. This fake demand has lead to deforestation for more land to have more beef and destruction of cropland.
To imply this is somehow the fault of the consumer is heavily close-minded. To say that the people who buy animal products, esp those who have no choice, are at fault for the state of the world is foolish.
Moral agency would also show you not to blame the disabled, poor or native people who have no other choice but to eat meat for the problems in the world.
You've fallen to the idea that the issues of the world can be placed on the average citizen, and try to guilt people with what is happening to these animals to go vegan as if that will stop everything. The thing is, it is not the ordinary person who caused this issue. The problem of making an excess of food, requiring more forest and land to be destroyed to rape and murder animals, is all to do with Capitalism. It is from the idea that if the buyer that has more to choose from that they will buy more, leading to more money going into the pockets of those at the top.
If you want those problems to stop, which I do also, you have to go after the real villains and not those that have not caused it.

Yeah that's true. It's not like it can't be undone. Just gives me the same kinda of thinking I guess. Probably just seems strange to me personally since I wasn't raised that way. XD Different perspectives=whaaaaat? haha.Β
Holy shit man that's so sad! Yeah I think a lot of the bad stuff about this is lack of education and too much passion. You have to know how to do a healthy diet correctly or you're gonna make yourself sick/weak/whatever. That's the same with any diet. A lot of vegans will just stop eating animal products because EMOTIONAL and then not have a clue about how to do it in a healthy way. That's the kicker.Β

This is coming from someone who can't go vegatarian or vegan due to sensory/possible health issues, even though I wish I could. I'm not talking about all vegans, but there are some that take things too far ((freelee the banana girl))

Agreed. I'm only a pescatarian because other types of meat are unhealthy.

People who choose to go either vegetarian/vegan have no reason to come into burger joints and protest against their meat. (I've actually seen a video clip of that before...)
