    no living creature is harmed in the process.

    Everything annihilated by aerial spraying, and the creatures (including farm workers) dying of cancer from non-lethal doses, would beg to differ.

      Yeah, there’s nothing we can do that literally harms no living creature. Any vegan who has given their choices a second of thought will acknowledge that it’s about harm minimization, not causing zero harm.

        I wish everybody would get more “precise with their language” instead of running around spouting “zero harm” “absolutely no suffering” and such things, because people who say that often enough start to really believe it - instead of having a second of thought.

          And I wish for world peace but similarly that isn’t ever happening.

        But that’s not perfect so some brain case on Lemmy will complain about it
