It's an inequivalent comparison because our needs are not the same.

...we're both cities. Very similar ones, for that matter. We both need housing. We both need less cluttered streets and traffic jams.

Vegans and non-vegans are both humans. Very similar ones, for that matter. We both need food.

Inequivalent.

funny example because vegans and non-vegans still have a ton of overlap with ingredients lol

Thank you for understanding that just because there are similarities, that doesn't make them the same thing.

I should know better than to try to have a discussion with someone who starts with a fallacious assertion by not recognizing that our cities have been influenced differently on a sociological and economical level.
