No you don't. Literally every plant contains EVERY amino acid in varying amounts. You don't need to supplement protein as a vegan.
Would you believe that I don't want to eat just plants and pills for each meal? Would you also believe that I disagree with the industrialization of farming and the animal abuse that is so commonly paired with it.
There are humane ways to eat meat, and while they're difficult to find, it's a lot easier than eating what most people would consider disgusting everyday.
Yes you don't want to just eat plants, hence you are eating animals for taste pleasure.
Why do you think it's okay to kill someone for pleasure? What's humane about that?
Ploughing fields for plants kills animals too
If everyone were vegan, only a quarter of current farmland would be needed
Yeah and having an accident with your car may also kill people. Should that count as murder? You know, since apparently intention is irrelevant.
I think it already does
Vehicular manslaughter under a variety of different names is a crime in many many maaaaannnny countries.
You should look up the definition of murder. Murder requires intent, otherwise it's manslaughter.
Not everywhere
Ok sure, but a fair justice system should differentiate between intentionally killing someone and accidentally causing a death, right? Giving the same punishment to someone who kills their spouse because they cheated vs. someone who lost control of their car and crashed into a pedestrian would be extremely weird.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Ok
