most of these can be conspicuous or can be practical interventions for something a person needs or wants. See being a vegan because you think eating meat is wrong versus being a vocal vegan because you want everyone to know how much better you are than them. That distinction can apply to everything you've listed.
- actionbronson 8y agoBut a poor person would never "think eating meat is wrong" or do any of these other things. Even seeing them as issues is middle to upper to middle class culture, conscious or not.
- cowpewter 8y agoYeah, I eat keto, but I don't push it on people or think it makes me better than anyone. I'm a T2 diabetic, and it's simply the best way for me to eat to prevent losing my feet or winding up on dialysis someday. It's not the cheapest way to eat (meat and fresh vegetables are expensive compared to processed carb products (or heck, even nonprocessed carby staples like rice and beans)), so I would never look down on someone that couldn't afford to eat this way. I wouldn't even push it on another diabetic, beyond mentioning that I use it to control my blood sugar and it works well for me. I think my eating keto is a personal "essential weirdness" to quote an article someone posted elsewhere in this discussion.
