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.
Hey, found the pissy meat eater.
This is the sort of thing you think is true because you saw it in cartoons growing up, but if you actually consider it honestly, I think you'll find your source is, "I bet!"

Yes, but my message is an answer to someone else who raised the topic. And again, nothing against other people's preferences, I'm only against making a thing out of them. Eating meat is not a thing, it's "old and boring*
You'd think, but there's lot of people that make eating meat a thing all right.
I never got bothered for eating meat, but I got approached several times by complete strangers while getting veg food because they HAD to mock me, convince me or explain nutrition to me.
Every group has their fanatics.
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 wrong. Period.
This is so strange to me, because everyone I’ve talked to agrees in theory but has this disconnect when it comes to reality.
Thought experiment: if I’ll give you a cookie, but only if you kick a dog, would you do it?
I’d bet nearly everybody would say fuck no, and probably be at least a little pissed even to be asked. Somehow “making an animal suffer to have a food you enjoy” is wrong to everybody at this personal level, but add enough steps in between the cause and effect and suddenly people are happy to have animals abused and then slaughtered for them to enjoy their meals. Just looking at the response to your comment (6 upvotes and 5 down atm) shows this in action - to anyone disagreeing with @the_q’s point, do you also think kicking a dog for a cookie is okay in my hypothetical? If not, where do you draw the line?
