    I don’t buy meat, but I’ll eat it if it’s given to me. It’s a treat to me, and I savour it when it happens. The downside is that vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters all hate me 😂

      My wife’s been collecting food allergies like Pokemon these last few months, so I have a feeling I’ll be joining you on a similar diet!

      you are doing better than 98% of people so I think vegans and vegetarians would be extremely happy with that (I’m “vegan” but will eat stuff thats going in the trash otherwise)

        Vegetarians are happy at first, until they see me just devour a whole chicken once a month, then they give me the side eye lol. Vegans don’t like that I eat dairy and eggs. Carnivores get annoyed when I have a meal of “rabbit food”. I seem to annoy everyone 😂

        I dunno, to me it’s called having a varied diet and it’s normal. Where I grew up, that’s what you ate. Mostly plants, dairy from the cows/goats/sheep, eggs from the chickens. Then sometimes, the village would slaughter a goat, and you had a party and ate as much meat as you could because it doesn’t preserve well. The animals were treated with respect, but we also ate them sometimes. It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.

        Food is a weird thing, I find people care a lot about what I eat for some reason. It feels like I’m not following some unspoken rules or something

          I don’t think anyone in the carnivore space would be annoyed at you eating what you choose to eat. If you’re healthy, why would it bother anyone?

          rabbit food one is my favorite lol

          I think if you’re getting eggs / milk / anything from animals who aren’t mistreated, that’s like 99% of the way to being vegan. For eating a slaughtered animal, if it had a good life that’s like 80% of the way to being vegan :p

          Food is extremely important to a lot of people, it’s something to look forward to after a long day, a place where they can talk to people, a time when they can relax and feel calm. Anything that changes that can be scary for people, which is why I just say reduce what you can, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
