First being their [sic] is an irrational culture of hate on the internet for vegetarians.

Its mostly vegans, actually. Its also because the loudest voices are the ones which are the most acidic. Same with feminism and MRAs. The majority of the group are well behaved and rational, but the ones people are exposed to the most are nuts, but happen to yell the loudest.

Secondly being that all suffering isn't equal. Even if someone might have suffered to get you that vegetable, it isn't likely that it was MORE suffering than then animals who were mistreated by industry and factory farms their wholes lives.

Who if its a country? Do you like bananas? Make sure they aren't from Dole, because like most companies operating in Latin America they aren't exactly known for being great. There have been wars over this stuff. If you ever have a chance to take a course in Latin American history I greatly advise it, it gives a much better perspective of Cold War U.S. policy than people get in high school or even most college courses.

Thirdly this idea that vegetarians change their entire diet to feel "better" then everyone else is absurd.

Question. If they do not change their diet to feel better, why is the article we are commenting on about how many animal lives are being saved? For jokes? Or to show how much more morally correct a vegetarian diet is?

I wonder if you would eat human flesh because it would be arrogant to refuse based upon your selfish dietary restrictions.

Humans are sentient, highly intelligent organisms capable of creating vast intelligent works and shaping the world around them. Cows are more intelligent than most people give credit for, but a cow does not demonstrate the same level of self awareness as a human being. A cow is a cow.

That being said, if you were offered human flesh your first thought would be "oh my god this family murdered someone I need to get the fuck out of here" while being offered cow flesh is sort of normal.

Also did you just compare eating animals to eating a person?
