Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.

I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.

Please tell me how I am the asshole :)

    Vegans are touchy because they are always experiencing the suffering of others through empathy they refuse to tune out. “Carnivores” are touchy because they resent the moral judgement of others.

      Carnivores are simply eating more meat to push back against the progress vegans have made to reduce suffering in this world.

        Two people reinforcing their assumptions about a group rather then talking to that group are not going to have a realistic view of the world. It’s a bit narcissistic to only view the actions of others in how it relates to you, there are more motivations out there.

        For myself, I’m very concerned with reducing human suffering:

        Carnivore is a tool, mostly used by people who have very specific problems. I tried to make that very clear in my decision tree post, which you downvoted - which means you read it, right?

          For some people it’s religion - they don’t want to see what the heathens are saying. Any non-compliance is dogmatically meet with negativity. I can see why they got into this position, they build their identity and their ethics around their food - the introspection required to have a conversation would also require the ability to cast doubt on their own identity. That is difficult for anyone to do!
