Gorillas stick to a mainly vegetarian diet, feeding on stems, bamboo shoots and fruits. Western lowland gorillas, however, also have an appetite for termites and ants, and break open termite nests to eat the larvae.

Gorillas are soy dsa karens who eat the bugs and live in the pod

The hell is a carnist?

A meat eater.

Are we supposed following this logic to create every tool we use or even cultivate every plant we eat?

No, but you’re supposed to not consider yourself a manly man badass for buying meat at the grocery store. Or even better, stop eating meat.

Gorillas guts are VASTLY different to a humans guts…

Not really comparable in that department.

Their gut biome produces protein

try eating exactly what gorillas eat… incl their own feces… see if you get the same “gains”…

Protein is pretty easy to get without meat. Lipids are a different story, but based on how quickly you jump to protein I suppose your research never went too deep.

:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

  • No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn’t about you, it’s about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
  • No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we’re not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
  • No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
  • Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
  • Questions about diet belong in c/food. It’s also a great place to share recipes.
  • In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.
