I can’t disagree that there’s a lot of bull-headed people out there.
But I have a pretty progressive social circle and many of them have tried to go vegetarian or been veggie-curious. And honestly I can’t think of a single one who’s stuck with it. (I know many other vegetarians for life).
So that’s my only point. Even among willing participants the acceptance rate is low. Meat is frigging delicious to those who have been raised on it and it’s hard to overcome that, and that’s not a propaganda issue. It’s a technology one.
Otherwise I agree the organized resistance is very frustrating.
- micromacrofoot 4mo agothere are hundreds of millions of vegetarians in india, so I think a lot of it is cultural context! meat as status is almost flipped on its head compared to the US, which I will also note eats more meat than any other country per capita!
- therealdrag0 4mo agoTotally context is huge. And unfortunately many Indian immigrants or their children become meat eaters in America, I have many of these in my social circle as well.
