Talking about food is akin to talking about religion. Everyone will have a different opinion on what is right, wrong, best, and worse by their background.

- howlin 11y agoUnlike religion, there are actual verifiable facts to consider. Calling food choice a religion sounds like an excuse to not consider ones choices critically.
- taurath 11y agoTo be clear, I'm talking about how people talk about how they choose their food. There's plenty of verifiable facts to consider, but those that trumpet those facts and make wide suggestions ignore the local circumstances. Someone with a $20 weekly grocery bucket isn't going to spend twice as much on organic vegetables regardless of if its better for the planet or even for themselves. Everyone has to eat, and everyone has to balance how much time, effort, and energy they spend on gathering, cooking, making food, and also balance that against everything else they are attempting to do.
