i find meat gross (to touch, to look at, to smell, to think about). that's mostly what prompted me to cut it out.

oh so it's not for religious reasons or like how animals are treated etc.......?

---

I do but I respect the lifestyle.

im an omnivore brah. always been, always will be.

I've been thinking more about it.

I have no problem with animals dying to become food. What I'm finding harder to accept is the cruel way we make them live in order to become food.

With that said, I'll admit I'm selfish. Vegans tell me that all the substitutes these days are so good you won't miss meat. They are absolutely lying about that.

I only eat ice

I find the meme that vegans are obnoxious and in your face to be largely untrue, but one thing they consistently lie about is how good Seitan and Quorn and Jackfruit are. Seitan tastes like pork in the same way that banana skids taste like real banana.

And I'm not suggesting anyone has to care about it. I'm just saying it bothers me more now than it ever used to.

Yes I eat meat. And basically for the reason that pink0926 brings up. Substitutes are just that; substitutes. I remember back in the day when poultry was the new health fad, and my mother went from making anything with ground beef to ground turkey. Oh and turkey bacon. It's not the same. It's not even remotely close.

I eat a lot better now than I have in past times in my life. But I don't try to substitute things for something I don't consume anymore. For instance I tried drinking low carb beers. But I couldn't keep it up. They're tasteless and boring. So I just cut down drinking the beers I like to cut out carbs & calories. Eating or not eating something for whatever reason you want is your prerogative. But as the old adage goes; don't piss on me and tell me it's rain.

What a garbage poll

I do but not every day. Maybe twice a week at most.

---

Nothing better than a fat juicy steak.

---

I'm on a strict povertarian diet, I eat whatever I can afford.

your heart's probably telling you a different story tbh

Trust me, there's more in this world affecting my health than just a nice juicy Steak.

---

Been cutting down on meat consumption since last year.

I'd rather die eating delicious meat rather than spend of my lifetime thinking what real meat taste like.

Its a fairly normal, common sense thing to do for most of humanity.
