      If I got my dream job and it required me to be a pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan: my diet would change immediately.

      I get liking meat but damn.

        If your job asked you to eat dog would you do it?

        Because thas what your asking.

        Halal isn’t a preference, its a standard for how meat is killed and prepared all the way to your food to your plate.

          I think you got the post you’re replying to completely backwards.

          They’re saying in that man’s shoes, they’d adopt a diet like pescetarianism or become vegan, which would allow them to practice halal even without needing dedicated halal meat sources.

          That’s a very poor strawman analogy.

          A better analogy is, if your dream job said you could no longer eat steak or chicken, would you do it? If your dream job required you to eat a vegan or vegetarian diet, would you?

          OP wasn’t suggesting that the person eat non-halal meat, they were suggesting they just don’t eat meat.

            Yeah i missed that, but that’s still a huge ask of people, and they have the privilege of being able to do that…

              The privilege of being vegetarian or vegan would probably increase the health of our society quite a bit, as well as our environment if everyone adopted that standard.

              Either way: if I’m getting my dream job out of it I’ll go full vegan gluten free hard mode yo.

                That’s great, can you awknlowdge there’s a large host of reasons beyond a persons control that makes 100% vegetarian adoption impossible?

                Its great that YOU can do that, not everyone can.
