Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    I’m not against vegans, but where the hell did you read that meat is bad? You can have an opinion, but that’s just not a fact. Period.

    I mean, the meat industry is factually bad for the environment at its current scale. That’s not really in dispute, is it?

      Nope, they said meat itself is bad, which is factually incorrect. The industry sucks in many ways tho, and not only to the environment lol
