I’m not vegan or vegetarian, so I do eat meat. I don’t view eating meat as some kind of weird flex either. I can’t stand seeing people act like they’re asserting some kind of dominance over animals by eating meat.
That being said, I don’t enjoy eating red meat all the time. I know some people want to live on steak and potatoes but that sounds gross to me. I prefer chicken anyway. But I don’t want to think about what happened prior to the meat being packaged. I know animals destined to become food are treated poorly and live pretty shitty lives. I can’t think about that too much or I won’t be able to eat meat.
I did try to be a vegetarian at one point in college and I didn’t feel very good. Same with Air Force survival school. Meat was scarce during the outdoor week and I didn’t eat much of the meat we had available because…I just couldn’t deal with it. We had to do all the stuff prior to the packaging and I couldn’t get past that. We were required to eat one bite of it and it wasn’t even good anyway. Later in the week I almost passed out several times and barely made it. I guess I can’t survive on plants alone.
