"Chimpanzees are HERBIVORES so humans should be too" says person who clearly doesn't know that both regular chimpanzees and the bonobo (the latter being our closest relative) are very much omnivorous and will even eat other primates.

So if you want to go with the Appeal To Nature, you should be suggesting a diet composed of actual tree leaves* and also cannibalism** in addition to fruit.

*humans can't digest leaves, something something useless appendix or whatever, you all are familiar with The Googles
**HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED
Shout-out to that one vegan who told me that I, a vegetarian, should die rather than continue eating dairy and eggs, because I guess a chicken being able to fuss over its unfertilized period is more important than me surviving.
When I was a kid, my mother would buy these gallon things of ice cream. $5 each, and even with three very sweets-happy kids eating them, they'd last twoish weeks.

Now that I can't eat dead animal products, I have to look for ice cream that's made with sugar not processed through bone char - usually USDA organic. $3.50 per pint, lasts me alone a week and a half. Oh, and it's not available at one of the three closest grocery stores.

But please. Tell me again how veganism is sooooo affordable and convenient.

Interestingly, I've gotten more shit from vegans for my [gasp] consumption of eggs, honey, and dairy, than from omnivores for not eating meat. And vegans are definitely not the majority in this country!

I've been vegetarian for a couple of years, and I've received an order of magnitude more pushback from vegans than from omnivores.
