One of the ‘problems’ that the Left is having with turning people into (very sick) vegetarians is that all the LIES about eating meat, particularly red meat, have now been debunked and, in fact, red meat is about the HEALTHIEST product that humans can eat, providing they don’t contaminate it with carbs.
They aren’t arguing that eating meat is unhealthy, they’re arguing that it’s because animals are suffering, the meat industry causes environmental damage (allegedly), and they believe they would be (allegedly) making the world better and help people become more ‘virtuous’ by avoiding meat.
After becoming extremely allergic to vegetables about ten years ago, meat is now about 90% of my diet. There are few veggies I can safely eat. If bitten by one of these ticks would seriously put a wrench in the diet.
