    Except the other person is most of the way with that viewpoint, hence me calling it a purity test.

      But they’re really not. The harms and atrocities that come from dairy and eggs are arguably worse than meat itself, and the former industries drive the latter to some extent because it’s not profitable to care for animals for the duration of their natural lifespan.

      Vegetarianism is neither ideologically or functionally different than any other form of animal commodification.

        Certifiably cap, just from the scale of it all. Meat production has a non insignificant amount of environmental impact.

        Dairy does too, but meat, you need more animals to kill.

        and the former industries drive the latter to some extent

        This is exactly backwards

        Vegetarianism is neither ideologically or functionally different than any other form of animal commodification.

        This is so absurd on its face that I don’t think you’re reasonable enough to bother arguing with, and don’t think anyone reading this will think you are, so I’d just be wasting my time.
