Meat Wars <p> Why Right-Wingers Are So Afraid of Men Eating Vegetables

“‘Eat bugs, live in a pod,’ is not a meme. It’s their real agenda,” tweeted the conservative provocateur Mike Cernovich to 1.1 million followers last month. The tweet was responding to an anodyne Economist story about the role of meat consumption in global climate emissions. And unless you’re deep into online culture, it’s probably incomprehensible.

Conservatives’ darker fantasies aren’t just about threats to a dietary staple but about threats to the liberty, bodily integrity, and masculinity of American men.

There is a term for vegetarians in the animal world...

They are called prey.

Why Right-Wingers Are So Afraid of Men Eating Vegetables

False premise. I eat lots of vegetibles. God put them on earth and apparently they are part of a healthy diet, though I doubt anything I am told on any subject by anyone claiming expertise or authority. I presume they are part of a healthy diet because the human species has coevolved with vegetables over the period of life on earth.

But I also eat meat and lots of other things.

The thought of eating bugs disgusts me. I presume that is part of evolutionary development as well. The throught makes me ill to help prevent me from getting physically ill.

I’m right wing and eat vegetables. I just don’t try to disguise them as meat And I prefer my protein to be beef or chicken. Not bugs.

I’ve never heard of a right winger afraid of men eating their veggies. That’s ludicrous.

about threats to the liberty, bodily integrity, and masculinity of American men.

While out with family last week, I ordered a 16 oz strip steak. If was fantastic. It was a bit larger portion than I am used to eating at one meal - so I shared with with my DAUGHTER, with whom I often bond over a well-cooked piece of beef.

You are quite correct. They need a psychiatric intervention.

Of everything that they disagree with? Because they are arrogant and believe they are God.
