    You're a bit late to the party, there's an entire subculture already.

    I was thinking bigger. Like, when some farmer wants to sell vegan beef, they could hire a company and they would discreetly supply accidents and natural causes for the farm.

      Some do consider it vegan, same as the "freegan" subset. There's even at least one influencer who is a bit infamous for it But there's also a few problems with this line of reasoning. It still normalizes the idea of the consumption of animal products, so it's a slippery slope at best. It's also not scalable, as soon as probably even a modest proportion of people would adopt such a diet, demand would quickly start to surpass supply which would incentivise the artificial production of more road kill.

      And then there's just the why? of it. Like if we're talking about extreme situations like starvation and poverty where there is literally no other choice, okay that would make sense. But otherwise, what is so wrong with eating plants that someone would go out of their way to eat carrion instead? With the likely putrefaction involved we are talking about literal self harm to avoid eating some good ol grains and beans.

      Consumption of animal products is normal. For thousands of years.

        Show me where any vegan has ever argued that these deaths are okay? Your argument is both a strawman and bad faith. It's the equivalent of when people claim anticapitalists are hypocrites because they have no choice but to participate in the existing system to survive. Cheap.

        Why are vegans in particular given blame for crop deaths, when it isn't vegans who are doing the farming? We have veganic forms of agriculture that we advocate for, and practice in the case of veganic farmers and gardeners. But until that gains more traction all anyone can do is the best they can, with what they have access to - which is far less harmful and destructive than omnis.

          and most people don't slaughter animals. which, by the way, is one of my firmly held beliefs: we can't blame people for something they didn't do.

            We can't eliminate all suffering and harm, so we shouldn't even try reducing it? Perfect is the enemy of good. For many if not most vegans, it's about minimizing harm. Many are motivated by ecological concern as well.

            Some insects die on my car's grill when I'm driving. I still go to work every day while calling myself vegan. Literally the only non-hypocritical action would be to kill myself. Forgive me if I don't.

              Well... the patty is made of 100% vegan cow, therefore, vegan meat.

                Wait until you find out what's eating most of those crops. (It's not humans)
