1. I made no comment as to your lifestyle, only that I recognize your attempt to justify whatever it is, which again I did not specify, by attempting to zero in on a perceived hypocrisy. Whether or not you understand your behavior to be defensive is none of my concern. 2. At no time did I say that meat eaters are brainwashed. This is a straw man argument from you. What I said was that America eats far, far too much meat, and that is objectively true based on certain indicators such as the effect of the scale of our industrial farming on the climate or animal welfare.

If that's all you had to cherry-pick from my last comment, then I think we're done here. Please stop trying to extend this argument.
