Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. That's not the point, though. The point is that bringing it up AND the whole "not necessary to our survival" reeks of either a militant vegetarian or more likely, someone pretending to be a militant vegetarian for teh lulz.

Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

Would you consider someone a militant omnivore (or a troll pretending to be one) for bringing up the fact that vegans who avoid honey but consume almonds are hypocritical or that some people don't absorb nutrients from plant sources as well as they do nutrients from animal sources?

Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

Question, as an omnivore, what makes almonds not vegan friendly? I mean, they're a nut, do they have animal parentage that I am unaware of?

I 'kind' of understand the honey bit because bees make it, so it's made off the labour of an animal (though it's not exactly forced labour to me when it's something they do naturally...) but I know next to nothing about almond origins.

Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

As far as I know, almond trees need a lot of bees to pollinate them, and commercial hives aren't always treated well.

So if someone won't take honey, by reason of the exploited insects, but does eat almonds... Eh.

Re: Troll alert.

NAYRT

I assume kept bees are critical to almond pollination -- actually, domesticated bees are neecessary pollinators for a vast majority of cultivated produce

Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

1. Has anyone in this thread actually done that? No? How is this relevant again?

2. Again, my point is that I'm not calling troll because I'm disputing facts. I'm calling troll because the inflammatory language feels very deliberate and trollish to me.

3. Your response is not a strong argument against trolls. See #2.

Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

It's relevant because I don't feel that the "militant vegetarian" anon was any more inflammatory than the anon who brought up their inability to properly absorb nutrients from plants. Unless you consider any mention of vegetarianism inflammatory, in which case that says more about you than about the anon you're calling a troll.

Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

Just because I actually care about animals, instead of lying to myself while I continue to take from them, doesn't mean I'm a troll

Re: Troll alert.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh huh.
