    Yeah, there’s nothing we can do that literally harms no living creature. Any vegan who has given their choices a second of thought will acknowledge that it’s about harm minimization, not causing zero harm.

      I wish everybody would get more “precise with their language” instead of running around spouting “zero harm” “absolutely no suffering” and such things, because people who say that often enough start to really believe it - instead of having a second of thought.

        True. But when someone is behind a keyboard, they can double down on their stupidity.

      But that’s not perfect so some brain case on Lemmy will complain about it
