That's what he pays to have done to animals more or less so why not have it done to him?

Watermelons are good for cleansing your system and providing you with antioxidants. Seaweed has lots of iodine. Good choices.

Even where eating meat is not necessary, being vegan is still a luxury. Foregoing luxury is not immoral.

Goodness gracious, you're quite the daft wank aren't you? Vegan diets are healthier and cause minimal suffering to living things and you want to play semantics games by labeling it a luxury just to create an excuse to eat animal flesh? "Gee, I could be healthier AND save lives with a properly planned vegan diet but I think I'm just going to make up fallacies so I can kill animals and clog my arteries with cholesterol"

Being a passivist is another modern luxury that practitioners like to pass off as morally superior.

Refusing to cause harm when YOUR life is threatened is just stupid. But not causing UNNECESSARY harm to sentient beings is the very definition of morality. Veganism is better for the planet, better for the animals, and better for you, you stupid brainless twit.

Failing to know how to fight for yourself or maintain a stomach for meat makes you a liability in the event that your chosen luxury is no longer an option.

Most meat eaters are just pussies who buy their meat at the grocery story. They wouldn't be able to fight for themselves any better than vegans in the wild. The people who would have the best chance of survival in the case of a societal collapse would be homesteaders. But you probably won't have to worry about it in your life time, what you should be more considered with is the number one leading cause of death- eating meat.

the evolved trait for in-group empathy, which used to be localized to ones own tribe of humans

Holy fucking ass monkeys, you are as dumb as a sack of potatoes. Haven't you ever noticed that primitive tribes around the world believe that animals have spirits and treat the ones they kill with great respect? They also have animals like dogs which they consider part of their tribe and tend to have way more respect for life in general than modernized humans.

You have a group preference for sentient beings and value the life of plants well below life forms that are more like you.

Please, stop it. At this point you must be trolling. You DO realize don't you that animals are SENTIENT and can feel PAIN and have FEELINGS and plants AREN'T and DON'T, right? Their called brains and central nervous systems, sound familiar? Plants don't have em' you ignorant retard. If you don't understand why sentient beings have higher moral value then you are a sociopath and you are literally mentally ill.

I will happily keep eating meat without any qualms

Until you get heart disease or cancer fuck face.

you never know what tomorrow may bring.

Strokes and heart attacks for meat eaters.

Go vegan motherfucker, make a muffin. You couldn't even kill a rubber ducky, son.

It's so hard to decide...hmmm...

Kale mango chia flax banana blueberry celery spirulina smoothies.

That's disgusting. .

Anything that is a luxury cannot be morally superior to necessity.

You're looking at this all wrong. If you are in a situation where you have to kill someone else to survive you don't have the luxury of not killing them, but if you don't have to kill them you are obligated not to. And you shouldn't really want to even if it is necessary and you must do it. Vegans are not asking people in 3rd world countries to starve, we are asking people who have the means to be healthy on a vegan diet to refrain from murdering sentient beings as it is not necessary for their survival. If you don't have the luxury of not killing for your own survival that's one thing, but if you are not starving and have access to whatever you want at the grocery store then it is morally superior to choose things that don't hurt anyone. See how this works? There is no justification for needlessly murdering sentient beings. Your situation does not necessitate the consumption of animal products, therefor it is morally superior not to, if you where one of those people who DIDN't have the luxury then it's entirely different.
