you're also comparing religion and spiritual cultures to scientific arguments.
Because veganism seems more like religion than science. You give the benefit of the doubt to even bugs based on weak evidence.
Based off what evidence? I'm not saying something either way for animals like jellyfish, but you can't just say "near-certain" with no backing.
No backing? How about based on the scientific fact that jellyfish have no brain? They do have eyes and neurons, but even plants detect light and share information between organs. It's just slower. I find it bizarre that vegans are okay with eating vegetables, but are morally opposed to eating other brainless things like bivalves. It is possible to farm these commercially. https://sentientist.org/2013/05/20/the-ethical-case-for-eating-oysters-and-mussels/

No I don't. I never said anything close to that. In fact, I don't even think there's enough evidence to warrant me from not eating honey.
but are morally opposed to eating other brainless things like bivalves.
Again, not opposed to this. I never said anything about this either. Stop assuming positions.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, then it goes here.
