Honestly at a certain point the apologizing for eating meat around me becomes more annoying.

Like, you know my feeling on the subject, I don’t like having to listen as people endlessly unfurl there own psychic terrain and hang ups around what they eat and why they think they can’t give up meat.

At the end of the day I tend to see it all through the lens of addiction. A holier than thou attitude is generally counter productive but it doesn’t make it any less tiresome to hear the same excuses over and over and over again.

Eventually you start to appreciate the rare unapologetic carnist who isn’t also a chauvinist making jokes about my diet. That’s a rare type of person though. Weirdly enough I’ve met more full on carnivore diet types like this than anyone else.

I think something about it being a health focused diet choice and the fact that even within carnism they’re kinda fringe and weird makes them one of the least annoying carnists in my anecdotal experience. Of course that doesn’t apply to the influencer style types who are very publiclly advocating a carnivore diet.

Obviously I think they’re completely wrong and just experiencing the transient positive effects being more mindful about what you put in your body. Hard to persuade that! I’m just gonna have to trust they learn there lesson the hard way when they’re in the early stages of kidney failure within the next decade.
