I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

    Zero. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children in that they are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. Consuming eggs is shameful.

      So raising your own chickens and giving them a fine life as long as they live is immoral?

      People like you are why vegans are fucking hated, can’t even talk compromise.

      Best part is, you’re too fucking stupid to see when you’re acting against animal interests. How’s that rhetoric working out for you? Winning hearts and minds? Or turning more and more against you?

        I will say that I’m also vegan and don’t agree with the approach they made. On high moral shaming doesn’t get us anywhere. My mom constantly telling me to clean my room did not make me a tidy person as an adult.

        We need understanding, conversation, and education otherwise it’s just a pissy exchange like this and no one is better from it.

      Oh yes. It’s quite horrible that adult animals need to work to survive.

      It’s also quite horrible that I had kids and doomed them to a life of work, suffering from wrestling with mortality, and ultimately ending in death.

      Treating animals like people isn’t the great thing you think it is.

      At least chickens don’t have to do taxes.

      Do you drink water? Or breathe air? Do you know how much bacteria is floating around in the water you drink and the air you breathe? You consume millions of micro organisms everyday, how dare you deprive them of their full life cycle, shame on you!
