see what kinds of absurd, internally contradictory, unconvincing, demeaning, and moralistic arguments ensue when humans are nearly completely removed from the responsibility of gathering their own food? when it comes to diet, unless or until all you motherfuckers stop getting the majority of your caloric intake from a grocery store all you're doing is speculating with dueling virtue signaling.
i've been vegetarian with minimal dairy (my intake of dairy is at least 75% goat to avoid both factory farming and the impracticalities of trying to digest cow milk) for over 35 years. it was never a public moral decision, but one of personal preference; i have never hoped or pretended that my preference, if made by more people, would contribute to the definitive destruction of capitalism and the state, and i only bring it up when eating at other people's homes. dietary choice might make it to the level of a bolo under the right circumstances, but i doubt it. not eating or directly harming non-human animals is a choice i've made, and i'm satisfied with it. in some post-apocalyptic scenario, it's possible that i might need to augment plant foods with critter foods, but i'll cross that bridge before it's burned.
i say this with impatience but also with love: you all need to shut the fuck up about the best, most anarchist, balanced with the environment, in line with our digestive systems, diet. yes, ALL of you: vegetarians, vegans, freegans, gleeful carnivores, faux hunters, pseudo-rewilders...
