    Is that a strange vegan comeback? For the entire history of civilization, people were eating meat when given a choice. It’s vegans/vegetarians who made not eating meat a point and a thing. And while I understand why people make that choice, some of them spend way too much time advertising their way of life.

      Are you sure on that?

      Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, Manichaeists, Monasticism etc might want a word.

      Maybe also bear in mind it’s perhaps the industrial revolution and massive scale animal abuse that’s led to the average pleb expecting daily meat instead of daily bread.

      Marrying, among other things, children is a large, normalized part of human history, but that doesn’t make it right. Eating meat when you can choose not to is morally right. Period.
