Seconded

DEFINITELY NOT SECONDED. How ignorant of history was the person who wrote the original post? VERY.
I’m a live-and-let-live person, as all of my followers probably have realized by now, based on everything I post - but I also speak up about BS when I read it. I have nothing at all against omnivores and carnivores - do what works for you and your body. Do what makes you feel good.
I suggest the OP read some books on the history of food. Meat has more or less always been until very recently a luxurious food eaten only by the rich and the aristocracy. Peasants and the masses of most civilizations ate largely vegetarian diets. So no, being vegan is not a product of high society. I think all to often people forget that veganism is not about fake meats, soy milk, and egg replacers. It’s about fruit, vegetables, leafy greens, and whole grains - food that is affordable and accessible to the poor. Even today it’s the cheapest food around, and you can grow it yourself. Most people don’t have the resources to kill a cow and process it all by their damn self into a hamburger. Fruits/veg/grains is the food that much of the population of the world has thrived on for ages. I’m not really talking about many native hunting/gathering societies, but the so-called “civilized world” - medieval Europe, etc.
I’ll get off my soapbox. Recommended reading: Food Politics, Food Safety, The China Study, Food Inc.
