    I agree with your first point and I really dislike the amount of misinformation flowing around on both sides, but spending even a little time online will show that is just humans being humans on any topic.

    Since any other reference probably wouldn’t work here, have one from one of those holistic medicine places

    I’m not sure if I’m reading it right, but are you saying that people here, so vegans, don’t trust normal scientific evidence and are only here to reinforce their beliefs by excluding proper evidence? That sounds kind of patronising and implies people are only vegan because of their biased world view instead of proper ethics and science.

    […] to promote a hobby.

    This also sounds dismissive of veganism and rude towards people that try their best to reduce harm in a part of their life. Vegans do it because they see it as necessary to live ethically consistent. This is not something done for ✨fun✨.

    I would recommend leaving these unnecessary remarks out of your comments if you want to address misinformation such as in this post more effectively while also coming off more respectful.

      We all know science understanding can only happen when you eat brains and plants don’t have brains but I shouldn’t expect a vegan to understand that since they haven’t eaten any brains recently

        I’m not defending the meme at all. I agreed with the point immediately in the first sentence. I just interpreted the tone of some remarks to be a bit condescending and gave a recommendation based on my opinion on that. Do with it what you want. I’m not here to force any view onto you.
