    Some people don’t want to inflict unnecessary suffering on animals. That’s not being picky, it’s a moral commitment.

      That’s an extended version of “I can’t handle reality, let me pretend I care by telling everyone I don’t eat meat”

        I think it’s the meat eaters, who make every effort to hide the horrific conditions of factory farms, who can’t handle reality. You never get as much excuse-making and projection as when you’re arguing with someone about meat. It’s pretty obviously motivated reasoning.

            Ah so you’re even more personality invested in eating meat than a normal person. That’s why I’m “whining” and you’re so defensive about it. That makes a lot of sense!
