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 :)

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

          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!

        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?
