Even if that was true, you're still killing other animals which is obviously more harmful/abusive to them than not giving them their favorite food instead of the same nutrients in a different package.

Ah yes, its the people that are against harming animals that are the real animal abusers.
Feeding an animal a nutrionally complete diet: abuse
killing animals: not abuse

It's so funny that they're the largest instance. Only see incredible decisions coming out of there.
from the OP
a pack of vegan burgers, these are more expensive than regular burgers!
I don't think they meant fish burgers when they said regular burgers. And sugar isn't generally considered a vegan substitute for an animal product.
Red meat and processed meat are classed as carcinogenic and have plenty of LDL cholesterol. Its not that hard to be healthier than that.
That's the core of the substack you posted, that's the whole idea. Even the submission title you chose is just 'it doesn't matter if they're genuine or not because they're basically bots'
Recognize the doomers, and ignore them. Most of them are not human, most of the humans are not American, and none of them care. They are like a pothole in the road: there is no point reasoning with them.
People are already way too quick to call everything a bot/propaganda/a russian op, they do not need more encouragement to think less.
Ok you're now trolling about as hard as that guy trolled the people brigading his community. So what does that make you?
At least I'm not such a dumbass that I think actively avoiding challenging your beliefs is a good thing. "Engaging with ideas sounds hard :( never think again bestie its bad for you"
It's not abuse to feed an animal a nutritionally complete diet. There is no magical nutrient that exists in animals that cannot be artificially synthesized. Just because you don't care about animal suffering doesn't make it necessary or justified.
