Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    I’m not a vegan either but I too read that comment as “I’m a fat fucker” 😂

      No it’s not, 3000 calories isn’t that much for anyone that’s active. And that’s not at all how I read the comment. Like I said eating 3000 calories can easily be done with a vegan diet so I really don’t know how you interpreted that from my comment or OP’s comment.

        I’d sympathise but I don’t speak medieval weights. That could be as much as a duck or a cow for all I know, old bean
