To extend the aside a bit: everyone's body (and microbiome) is different. We should really never judge dietary choices made for personal health/lifestyle reasons. Because what works for our body won't necessarily work for anyone else's. They have different metabolisms, different microbiomes, different allergies and sensitivities, they're going to react differently to different diets.
I mean, I guess one could quibble with where others get their food (sustainable vs non-sustainable sources, for instance), but beyond that, if it's just a personal choice for personal reasons - it's really not debatable.
It's when people start proselytizing their diet choices that they become fair game. Or if they publicly advertise that these choices were made for reasons of ethics or sustainability (which are thoroughly debatable and really should be continuously re-examined).
