@DanielLinton @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 If you can't win the ethical argument, why do you find it a personal flaw, in this case, for someone else to align their actions with their ethical beliefs?

@RaledoTom @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 I don't care for the 6 of the person who did the slaughter, but I enjoy eating most meat, so will carry on. It's all fun and people are allowed to disagree on things like the ethical argument (which in fairness i wont win!)

Ricky Gervais is vegan. He confirmed it in early 2022 on The Tonight Show, stating he's vegan and emphasizing ethical reasons over calorie concerns. Recently from 2025-2026, on his own social media , consistently affirm he has followed a vegan diet since 2020

@UnlikelyContent @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 And far more of those animals have to die harvesting plants to feed animals that feed humans. If you want to reduce your crop-death impact, you'd go vegan.

@RaledoTom @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 To get Vegan food: While precise numbers are hard to determine due to limited data, millions to billions of field animals—such as mice, birds, and insects—die annually during crop harvesting, pesticide use, and habitat disruption.

@groatswerth @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Theist morality is: old man in book liked this thing (such as slavery and stoning people to death) = good, so I'm now taking it as objective moral truth

@RaledoTom @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Atheist morality is good=things I like, bad/evil=things I don't like.

@DanielF42286492 @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Would you prefer it if he wasn't a vegan? So went around kicking dogs and stabbing bats?

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Still a fan..

@UnlikelyContent @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Because some people believe being directly responsible for the needless suffering and death of young, sentient beings is immoral.

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Why does it matter? 🤔

@I_Knew_It_Was_U @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 To harvest honey sometimes bees are kept captive, or sometimes the queen bee has her wings cut off or is kept in a clip to prevent her from leaving a hive so workers stay. Either way, it's against veganism because it's technically exploiting animals.

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 I’m trying to figure out what is unethical about eating honey🤷🏻‍♂️

@NutKraker @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Could your diet be healthier?

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Thats not very healthy though is it.

@jslinky @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 How many things are killed to harvest food for things that are killed for food? More. A lot more. You want less crop deaths, go vegan

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Ethical? How many things are killed to harvest a field of broccoli’s?

@Marcos01357 @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 You look old and unathletic. Must be a meat eater

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 You're a vegetarian? You have totally dissapointed me 🤣. You don't look the type. Those guys are skinny, to start with.

@stunormalbloke @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Remember not to get angry if a cannibal eats your children and makes this comment to you

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Meat is murder. Tasty Tasty murder 😋

@groatswerth @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 "I only do good things if sky daddy tells me to. And one of those good things is causing suffering and death needlessly to hundreds of his sentient creatures."

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Atheists don't have ethical concerns. They just have personal preferences.

@BasedPoliticsUS @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Stop posting nonsense and being ignorant. Try to not fit the American stereotype

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Vegan is pure uninformed madness, Ricky. From across the pond, I don't want that for you. And you know what I've told you before about alcohol. Unbelievably bad combination.

@DanielLinton @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Only real men pay other men to kill baby animals for them, needlessly! 😁💪😁🇬🇧🇬🇧

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Oh well, at least you shit lettuce leaves, cant be great at everything. We have finally found your flaw!!

@DeadStarLegacy @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 You don't know how it's possible to just not eat cheese or drink milk? You've done the hard bit. Have soya milk or oat milk. Have fake cheese or get much better calcium and protein from seeds/nuts and leafy greens.

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 I wish you would most more educational information about your diet and how you do it. I am vegetarian but vegan is a step too far, I don't know how it's possible.

@crowley_k @rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Because animal agriculture requires far more agricultural land than crops do? Studies suggest we'd only need about 25% of global agricultural land if everyone went vegan. Less water, less crops, no animal ag spaces.

@rickygervais @yellowbelly8 Since the loss of wildlife habitat to agriculture is quantifiably the number one reason for wildlife declines worldwide, including many endangered species, how do you rationalize a vegan lifestyle?

@ohfuggDD @shikhar1001 @mishraverse The vast vast vast majority of animal slaughter involves a lot of stress and suffering

@shikhar1001 @mishraverse How so? If there's no suffering, then there's no suffering.

you cannot be an animal lover and a non-vegetarian at the same time.

@ohfuggDD @BakiAdithya @mishraverse Why couldn't you just humanely kill a human then? What would be immoral about shooting someone in the back of the head without their prior knowledge?

@BakiAdithya @mishraverse No; suffering is the important consideration here.

@gue86502 @AmanitaFugax Oh no I can't keep killing thousands of sentient animals at a very young age for my own benefit, noooooo

@cade1792 @monkeybones @blaiklockBP @waitrose @RupertLowe10 @RobinTilbrook Everyone who debates a vegan conveniently gets all their meat from a "local", "high welfare" farm. Buzz words. 90% of meat consumed in the UK is factory farmed, and it's unlikely the other 10% had a good (and definitely not a long) life either.

@RaledoTom @monkeybones @blaiklockBP @waitrose @RupertLowe10 @RobinTilbrook True and is definitely something to consider. I remember reading that factory farmed modern meat is high in Palmitic acid compared to wild game I try to eat higher welfare where I can and use local butcher. Plants are harder on my digestive system too unless very well cooked

Are you aware that your ‘higher welfare lamb’ ends up with its throat cut by religious slaughter ? Care to comment ⁦@waitrose⁩ ? Obviously it is not labelled as such . I will be writing to you. ⁦@RupertLowe10⁩ ⁦@RobinTilbrook⁩

@cade1792 @monkeybones @blaiklockBP @waitrose @RupertLowe10 @RobinTilbrook Meat isn't usually high in calories. I always find it funny when people ask me "how do you eat enough calories" on a vegan diet... No one's eating 1,000kcal of chicken breast. If most of your calories come from meat, you have an unhealthy diet (not just an immoral one)

@RaledoTom @monkeybones @blaiklockBP @waitrose @RupertLowe10 @RobinTilbrook And to sustain high calorie diet of hunter gatherer/forager then you would need to eat a serious amount of foraged plants per day. Is this even feasible during all seasons?
