The book in question is The Vegetarian Myth and it is full of arguments of a similar caliber
vegans: animals have wants and needs
carnists: but what if APPLES had wants and needs? that’s why I am going to throw these live chicks into a grinder
I would ask them about shredding human babies, but I’m too afraid of the answer.
wait im pretty sure i can answer this one, im the carnist whisperer
well, they taste like pork. we’ve gotta eat something, why not ground baby?
It sure is wild how all those apple orchards popped into existence because animals pooped the seeds in nice neat rows over vast acreage. So much so, that we have a near perpetual abundance of apples
Consider: eating an Apple doesn’t benefit the tree 🤔 ergo I am going to terrorise and eat a pig.
Checkmate canines lions protein crop deaths no take backsies.
So, it’s basically the “WHAt abOUt PLAntS tho???” fallacy taken to the most deeply unserious extreme possible? Go figure.
We have violated the NAP with the apple tree and stolen its fruit.
It’s only legitimate if the orchard has a gold fringe
Consider: the lobster
Everytime I see that guy, I hear Nick Mullen’s impression of him on cumtown.
Consider: I find the seeds tasty so I om nom them like God intended and I’m returning to tradition by exclusively shitting in the woods
That’s a nice way to come out as a bear
actually i think that may be the pope
or the poope
by exclusively shitting in the woods
Maybe start with some porches first just to get warmed up.
Seems like there’s more apple trees now than there would be if we didn’t cultivate them, cause otherwise we wouldn’t bother. We are an entire species thar got domesticated by fucking wheat. If you’re gonna go all Darwin on what the plant would prefer, I can say for sure, edible plants have us by the balls. I’d the absolute unquestionable apex animal spends most of the resources not spent on killing each other on propagating your species, I think we can see who the dom is when looking at things from an outside perspective.
Trees be like as humans kill themselves and all mammals in the anthropocentric mass-extinction.

Nope, we don’t slaughter apple trees to get apples.

Yes we do, after they stop being able to produce dairy.

Except that apple tree is not sentient, and hewing that tree is not done for the production of another commodity. You confidently asserted the opposite and not are changing the argument

From the sidebar. I’d suggest reading about veganism rather than coming in here and pretending you know anything about animal ag.
No investigation, no right to speak

And what do you do with the baby cows? Where do the baby cows go?
Are you vegan?

lmao it’s the most obvious trap in the world and yet they keep falling for it
The plant does not want anything, it does not have a nervous system. Evolution does not want anything either, it is name given to a self-evident tendency of things that are good at making more of itself making more of itself(I know it’s a bit more complicated but the point is, it can’t want anything).
People will see an actual animal that has thoughts and feelings and a tree that does not and will equate them, absolute insanity.
Vegans don’t plant the seeds of every plant they eat.
Therefore it’s ok to kill animals.
All right everyone wrap it up.
this violates the NAP
Accidentally chewing apple seeds release hydrogen cyanide, a fast-acting toxic chemical. They don’t us munching on that part.
You’d need to eat an unrealistic number of apples for it to affect you though
I eat 70 apples for every meal
i skip the flesh and just go straight for a big ol’ nutritious bowl of apple seeds
i am too powerful to be taken down by some shit that sounds like a terrible candy
I save up all my seeds to plant in the front yards of rich people
Literally the “Hurr durr plants have feelings! Epic troll!” fallacy.
For someone that hates animals and wants to see them suffer so badly, carnists tend to be quite the sheep.
I’m johnny apple-seed, and I say apples have feelings too! 🤣
