I’ve been doing the plant based eating thing for a while now. It is weird and inconvenient, but I haven’t had anyone look down on me for it. People do ask why and I just say it’s for health reasons. Honestly though, there are a lot of good reasons to eat a plant heavy diet. One of the biggest threats IMO to humanity is the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria and new viruses. It would be hard to engineer a better system for breeding these things than our current factory farm infrastructure. Covid was not a serious threat, but something worse is just a matter of time. It is not unreasonable to see a future where surgery is impossible due to infection risk. If everyone ate more plants, we could shut down our toxic food system.
