gollark: Huh? People claim it's ethically bad. Not health-bad. Mostly.
gollark: I could still go in, though, they weren't the annoying sort of protestors.
gollark: I was once in Edinburgh consuming food from a Subway and found that there was actually a vegan protest in front of it.
gollark: This is because people don't actually seem to work, on the whole, according to stated ethical values.
gollark: Thus, if you try and make me do things which are "good according to some ethical standard which I claim to roughly agree with" but inconvenience me personally a significant amount, such as veganism, I may just entirely ignore you because "some animals do not like being used to produce milk for me" is part of the "far group" of issues I am not really paying attention to.
