Unless someone is a on a serious carnivore diet, then we probably eat "vegan" more than we realize.

I had an English muffin with some homemade wild raspberry jam and a banana with my tea this morning. I have already planned an Indian lentil curry and rice for supper tonight. I don't know what I'm having for dinner today, but I could have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich I suppose.

A whole day without meat. Not that I actually considered doing that because "vegan." But because that's what sounds good to eat today. Tomorrow, maybe some smoked oyster stuffed venison loin chops for supper perhaps or some eggs and bacon for breakfast.

but english muffins may have buttermilk, butter, honey, sugar, and egg.

Not all of them do.

You eat pretty healthy compared to the average person in North America or Europe. There are a lot of people who eat a big piece of meat every day.

I'm just less fussy about what I eat than most. And I long ago learned there are many tasty things of all kinds to eat. Worrying about carnivore vs vegan is a waste of my time. One can eat a different meal everyday for a lifetime and never eat the same thing twice. Whether there is meat on the menu is not as much of a deal as eating tasty food.

Disagree, theirs so many people who think a meal isn’t a meal without meat. “Im eating the meal for the meat”. Onetime at a restaurant I was considering getting this plantain dish and my friends looked at me like I’m crazy for getting an entree without meat ???

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They might think that, but they are still eating meals without meat and not even thinking about it. Maybe it's not enough vegan enough to make you happy, but it IS something more than nothing.

This feels very culture/location specific. A majority of people probably don’t eat a lot of meat, a majority of Americans do eat a lot of meat.
