If you’re a vegan you’re gonna get pissed off reading this. But it is what it is. There’s no moral mission here. There’s no polemic. I’m not advocating anyone do this, that or the other. I’m simply stating some neutral facts about what happened with me.
I eat a mostly plant-based diet but I cannot stand self-righteous vegans. Yes, vegans make really good points, both about cruelty and how wasteful animal farming is (and bad for the planet) but my attitude is that it's better for lots of people to eat less animal-based food and to be mindful of how it's produced, than for a small percentage to be vegan. However, I have radically reduced my blood sugar eating a plant-based diet and a lot of research points to animal fats (not carbs) as the culprit in diabetes - so for now, that's what I'm doing. But, at some point, I may decide living longer isn't all that important to me and I may become a meat-eater again - I mean, with each passing year, life gets more miserable, right? In seven years I'll be 70, do I really want to see 90? But either way, I'm not going to be an obnoxious ass about it. OK, I may still be quite an obnoxious ass, just not about food.
