I feel like I'm somewhere in between. I wish I could eat less meat, and I try really hard to eat more green "ruffage", but also I'm simply not bougie enough to have a fridge constantly stocked with produce, nor the time to prepare it into something fulfilling before it goes bad, and I'm already struggling with keeping weight and muscle for my height and age.

I also refuse to eat substitutes that are "It's like a thing you ate, but instead it's molded flavored soy!" Even still, industrial soy and palm oil farming have also been destroying the environment, by the way.

I'd be much more okay with respectfully eating something I hunted, that would feed my family for weeks or months, but I live in a bizarre place in the middle of the desert that by all rights shouldn't even exist.

So the cognitive dissonance is a source of stress, but I also would like to survive so......?
