    It threatens my options. I don’t believe it’s healthy to rule out 95% of the world’s food options, and that’s the only reason I keep eating meat. If I knew there was great veg food everywhere, it would be easily done and I’d prefer to at least make meat a 3 times a year thing or less.

    Edit: I’m really fucking curious. Can someone tell me what there is to downvote here? Are you truly threatened by the idea of not eating meat or what could it possibly be?

      can anyone tell me what there is to downvote

      1. meat isn’t “95% of the world’s food options”

      2. there is great veg food all over the place, failure to find is a failure to look

      3. you’re framing the choice as to whether to eat meat as some externally imposed thing when it’s simply not. Choosing from among your options doesn’t ‘threaten’ the options you didn’t choose

      4. your tone is just generally gross and defensive

      I’m an omnivore too, but your arguments sound less like you considered the possibilities, rationally thought your way through to the best option then selected it, and more like you picked something and then tried to rationalize your way backward through the arguments to the options.

      Edit: oooooh nothing like asking for feedback and then getting pissy when you get it.
