| Reminds me of a different anime where MC assumes elves are vegan and is surprised when they aren't. This is you. |
| bruh |
| I find it hilarious to see Frieren wielding a giant plate of steaks. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

| I've seen plenty of anime where elves swallow meat. It is a fetish, ain't it? |
 |
| first time im hearing that elves should be vegan |
| Just because they like Lembas doesn't mean they're vegan. |

| Frieren being based as always. |

| There is like one piece of fiction I've seen where elves have to be vegan. Literally only one. |

| I was wondering the same thing after I saw the Frieren Mini Episode 9 with the fish they didn't eat. https://myanimelist.net/anime/56885/Sousou_no_Frieren_no_Mahou |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |

SwagsOnB said: Doesn’t it feel wrong to see an elf chowing down on a huge pile of meat? Aren’t they supposed to be vegetarian? We all know that, right. All elves in real life are vegetarian just like real dwarves are all craftsmens. |
| To be fair to the op, Elves have been portrayed as vegans in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Elves in those books are also immortal. I'm guessing the author of Frieren took inspiration from the fact that Elves are immortal but choose to make them have a complete diet of all types of foods. It seems Elves aren't vegans since they love consuming milk. |

| let her eat what she wants. She even used up her savings to get the delicious pile of steak! |
| It's more of a recent japanese view that elves are vegan, in all other takes, either from mythology or tolkien where most elven ideas come from, elves have no problems eating meat, they just do not take or kill what they do not need, and are very "in tune" with nature. Now that i think about it, even fairies aren't portrayed as vegan, anything roughly humanoid in mythology is omnivorous if i remember right, though there are some, like elves that supposedly prefer things like fruits and sweets, but that does not mean they don't eat meat. |
| mfs when someone eats food 🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡 |

| Not in the slightest, besides if she were vegan she'd just be an insufferable twit. |
| Fieren is not Tolkien's elf, why shouldn't she eat meat? In addition, she may well have free culinary preferences, since she lived for centuries without seeing any other elf. |
 |
| no, if elfs were vegan they would be way to weak and fragile to do anything, vegans are people that gave up living, Elfs tend to be immortal in stories, they sure didn't give up living. |

| @MadLane A lot of the strongest animals on earth are herbivores. "Vegan" as a concept is a human idea. If elves in their world were herbivores there'd be no reason they couldn't be strong, and it would be illogical to think they've given up on living, since that would just be what their body was built for and what their society advocates for. There's more than enough nutrients in plant foods to sustain powerful beasts. That all being said, similar creatures in different fantasy worlds don't have to all be the same, so even if elves in one franchise are herbivores it doesn't mean elves in other stories can't eat meat. |

| @zombie_pegasus carnivores are always stronger than herbivores, it's the natural selection of predator vs prey, any animal in human form has to be a carnivore, i would say that even in fantasy it would make no sense for a human looking species to be herbivore, you have to take away all logic for that to be realistic, after all just imagine 1 change in nature, lets make Elephants carnivore, now witness how humans easily go to shit and so does most animals, there is a reason why T-Rex ruled they way he did, huge + carnivore = God on earth, T-rex would have been a joke if a braquiosaurio had been a carnivore XD So yeah elves have be eat meat or else they can't be strong, imagine herbivore orcs XD they want to eat plants and dance, not much danger. all i'm saying is carnivores develop power and skills because they need to hunt and kill to eat, you can't expect plant eater to ever have a chance in a fight or dominate the food chain. |

| What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2 That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol |

| @MadLane Herbivores have the ability to get bigger and stronger than carnivores because the resources they use are more plentiful. There are some large carnivores, like polar bears, but that's a harder niche to occupy. We might imagine a carnivorous version of a herbivore being stronger, but it would probably be a lot smaller if it was a carnivore because there's just not enough meat to satiate the body of an elephant or a giraffe on meat alone, at least on land. Carnivorous animals have to waste a lot of time and energy to hunt enough meat. An omnivorous diet makes enough sense for an intelligent animal, though, since they don't have to deal with the inefficiencies of relying solely on a less available resource but can still take advantage of meat when it's available to them. Even a lot of animals we think of as being herbivorous will eat insects and even the occasional small vertebrate because they might as well if it's easy enough to catch. Gorillas are stronger versions of humans and they're herbivores. Humans are a weird exception to this because of agriculture. For every 1 kg of humans on the earth there are 2kg of livestock raised specifically to feed the humans. Meat is a crazy inefficient source of food but if you can breed the animals yourself then you can just brute force enough of it into existence to feed a large population. Without agriculture there's no way a large species that gets a large percentage of their calories from meat could have a high population. A race existing on meat alone simply wouldn't be able to achieve much because there wouldn't be too many of them and they'd waste most of their time gathering meat. Another interesting thing is how important rice has been to Asian's large population. Rice contains more calories per acre of land it takes to produce than other grains, meaning you can feed a bigger population with it. It takes an astronomical amount of land to feed the same population with meat. In those places that live by the sea they also eat a fair bit of fish, and fish can even live in the rice patties, as a nice bonus. Being a herbivore isn't exactly the best strat for something like an elf, but it's still a lot better than being a carnivore. Omnivore would be the easiest imo. |
