there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to being vegan or an omnivore. it just reflects your own person values, morals, and beliefs. but yall do realize that biologically humans are omnivores? meaning that we’re quite literally born eating meat and vegetables. so it is not wrong that humans eat meat especially when there are benefits meat offers that veganism doesn’t (it is vice versa too though). but judging people for eating the very thing that was made for us to eat is really weird.

She’s not wrong but I fear it is a very privileged take since she doesn’t consider those with deficiencies and other health related obstacle who have to rely on meat to avoid compromising their health. Also other than a couple reposts and an angry ig story…she hasn’t shown any further advocation for animals. She didn’t offer any vegan resources/alternatives, hasn’t gone to those factories to shut them down, or donated + she was literally using at least 3 make up brands that test on animals so💀

humans live with contradictions all the time. “you can’t eat meat and not care about humans”. well other people could say that you can’t care about the environment if you drive a car. or you can’t care about workers/slavery if you still buy from companies with bad labor practices (shein for example). human morality isn’t perfect and no one should be judging anyone. you don’t have to be vegan to care about animals. empathy is not limited to

i don’t think anyone should be judged for eating meat or being vegan. EMPATHY IS NOT LIMITED. i can still eat meat and care about animals. i think vegans more so care about the fact that animals die in horrible ways just for us to be able to eat them. like i said, i agree that the way the government does it is shitty, but if animals were killed more “nicely” than i don’t think people would care as much bc animals (including us) are just one big ass food chain made by the higher power.

Idk I love Billie but humans biologically need meat for optimal nutrition, we literally evolved for meat eating it’s part of any organisms predatory nature so it’s not “inherently wrong” when it’s literally just how nature works. Either way even if you are vegan just don’t shove it in peoples faces like most meat eaters just eat their food in peace not go on rants online and tell people they’re going to hell for eating meat

This is such a nonsense issue, her take is not common sense because it’s an opinion. You very much can care about animals you like and still eat meat. For example I don’t like alligators, so idc if someone makes gator bites, don’t care for frogs or about southerners who eat frog legs. Don’t care for venison, deer are very much annoying, and sometimes over populated hence hunting seasons. I fear a rich person with a private chef can’t tell me anything.

1) okay yeah i do get your points i gotta admit that but the first thing is that billie originally said that you can't love animals if you eat them and that's just true cause you won't hurt something or someone you love... second thing is omnivore does mean to eat plants and meat however animals that are omnivore can just eat that animal...

2)for example a lion hunts a zebra and eats it or a cat hunts a mouse and eats it, however with humans it's kinda different cause we can't just go up to a pig or a cow for example we can't just eat those animals with our bare hands and teeth, so therefore we have to have slaughterhouses where animals are tortured in the worst ways possible. In nature omnivore animals don't have slaughterhouses or anything like that they just eat what they have to eat in order to survive.

3)Also animals don't eat one animal and have the other as a pet cause that's also kinda weird that we have animals that we love and animals that we eat that just doesn't make sense. Anyways we might be omnivore but people who are vegan don't live at risk so that proves that we in fact do not need to eat meat to survive like animals.

4)My point is just that the meat industry is really horrible not just for the animals that are getting killed but also for the environment and also there is just no right or nice way to kill animals cause in the end every animal that gets killed by humans was always "meant" to have that purpose,

5)it's an animal that has a number instead of a name and is just raised to be eaten one day, and that's just sad cause while you're eating that pig on your plate at the same time you're petting your cat or dog and tell them that you love them and that's just unfair.

I took an environmental science class ran by a vegan teacher and I think she had the best stance on veganism. This stuff like Billie is doing is not the answer. Veganism is a personal choice. Instead of acting like every human should have to be vegan, we should advocate for not over consuming meat and that if you have the means to, not purchasing factory farmed meat which we all esp after watching videos can agree more is unethical

oh please do some actual research billie is literally constantly looking out and donating for animals, at her concert venues she only gives out vegan food and it's also not a "privileged take" considering a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is definitely less expensive than eating meant. Also please do some research yourself cause i'm pretty sure that you have a phone and can google about those things and if you have to eat meat for your health and want to replace it you can also go see a doctor...

Sure, but to dismiss the massive power humans have as a species entirely dismantles your argument. and nothing was “MADE” for us to eat. All other species existed perfectly without us and without ruining ecosystems through overconsumption and misinformed beliefs about the “need” biologically for meat.

You’re missing the point.. every ecosystem is a cycle of predator and prey, we’re clearly not the prey and it’s ecologically normal for humans to eat meat when we’re biologically engineered to do so. You can choose to be vegan that’s great but it’s not inherently wrong to like meat

I didn’t say it was or wasn’t. I’m not ignorant to food web ecology but the commenter said meat “was made for us” which is just fundamentally wrong and speciesist and speaks to the power imbalance I mentioned which does play a part in how pervasive unnecessary meat consumption is in society.
