    I went to a vegan community, agreeded that the US “EAT ALL THE RED MEAT” food guideline was asinine, then offered a “eat much less meat” option with an explicit statement that “it isnt ideal from a vegan perspective, but better.”

    Yes, I was surprised by the poor response. I’m offering support for reducing meat consumption, and was met by “good is not perfect so fuck you” zealotry. Its fine if they dont want non vegans to interact and learn more about veganism, but it would have been better to put that on the sidebar so those of us “interested, but not converted” stay out.

    Yup. I posted the canadian food “plate” in one of the vegan communties as a sanier counterexample to the new US inverted meat pyramid. Canada fought its Ag industry tooth and nail to publish it. The pretty reasonable “protein” section is largly beans, nuts, fish and then red meat, in a way that mirrors actual health recommendations instead of industry demands.

    I specifically called it a better version that recommended eating less meat. Immediatly hit with “all meat is murder” and had my comment deleted within the hour.

    It doesnt change my personal views on veganism, but it did tell me not to interact with the community here, which is unfortunate. Id like to get more input and perspectives, and hell even recipe recommendations, but nah.
