I never understood this meme. What exactly is the philosophy? A philosophy of how others should partake in a lifestyle that you don’t?
It's odd enough to tell others what to prefer, but it's not clear what the impact of "As a meat eater" is supposed to have.
"As a straight man, my philosophy is if you're gonna be gay, just be gay this certain way." —It's nonsensical to me.
- Swizec 4y agoIt means that when I have a vegetarian meal, I don’t look for fake meat. I just have a dish that was designed to be vegetarian. The “as a meat eater” part signifies that I’m not vegetarian which seems like an important distinction in this context.
- reaperducer 4y agoA philosophy of how others should partake in a lifestyle that you don’t? Sounds like how the vegan people at work would comment on other people's lunches.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoWell, I understand an unsolicited ethical prescription more than an unsolicited one of taste. In other words, if you're telling people which foods to prefer, and you don't even have an ethical angle on it, what exactly are you doing?
