Hi! I'm the mod that started this all! I think everyone who uses the phrase "obligate carnivore" is outing themselves as a complete buffoon since it has literally 0 application to whether or not it is possible, which would be obvious if people looked up the definition.

But of course, that would be expecting a lot from people :)

Hope that's oil or margarine on that popcorn! Chicken salt is fine though, amusingly it has no chicken in it. Weird name huh?

Margarine should only be used as axel grease. Good afternoon.

I used to agree, but nuttlex buttery is actually quite good!

although personally don't add fat to much, being an enthusiastic cook that is growing sideways a little more than I ought to.

...nah mate. You're literally putting your desires over the animal's needs. It's the same egotistical "animals must serve the desires of man" schtick that veganism arose in rejection of.

Miss me with that bullshit.
