Tbh eating meat isnt cruel, its a valuable thing. Humans were built to eat meat and vegetables, sure there is plant based stuff. But you cant make it the same thing as meat

Is this really unpopular? Rightwingers certainly seem to agree with this.

That said, there's "not being vegan or vegetarian" and then there's "eat so much meat and dairy that it's significantly deteriorating your health", and the latter seems to be the standard for most people in wealthy countries. And as a species, we can't afford to eat like this if we aren't fine with mass casualties and being a global extinction event (vegan agriculture kinda already does that anyway, but it would be much less severe).

I see a bunch of carnivore diet stuff here.

I see that stuff once in a blue moon here. The vegans, meanwhile, seem to be in every thread

Weird how there's not a single comment here that says that people should never eat meat, if there's vegans in every thread.

Most people in the west eat 70-80 percent plant based already, even the republicans.

eat so much meat and dairy that it's significantly deteriorating your health

Meat by itself with not hurt your health, it's all the things people eat along with meat that hurt health (in a McDonald's value meal it's mostly the coke, fries, bun, and oil), or in bbq the sugary sauces
