& I do take offence to this.
I myself am a #vegan / #vegetarian - but also, I dated a muslim person for about 3 years. some of the happiest times ive had with someone
whilst people hated us dating, since I am white & dont believe in religion. we really loved each other & showed everyone that we can all get along
sick of this hateful & also racist shite that people think its fine to spread
@flussence & thats the thing. people bitch about halal etc - cruelty.
'YOU ARE STILL EATING MEAT YOU DUMB FUCK, THAT HAS BEEN IN SHITTY CONDITIONS & TREATED BADLY. WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR WAY IS REALLY THAT MUCH DIFFFERENT?'
but its the folks who are really uneducated that can be the worst. or ones that only follow one source of a news story.
those types of folks feel more dangerous & in many ways much more hateful
@flussence sparked a memory for when I was away. about food
was at the shops with my mum & behind me a lady looked at a persons steak because they saw an advert saying 'we check all our meat & make sure its raised properly etc'
lady said to the person 'oh, that would make me feel bad to know where its come from'
I looked down at what the lady was buying. chicken. fucking chicken.
I almost burst into laughter but held it in until we got out & told my mum. my mum was just as confused & laughed
@lewislepton I get an earful of the same BS at least once a week: “not shopping at so-and-so any more halal meat is animal cruelty blah blah brexit”
I'm really starting to hate old white imperialists.
