    it’s okay to aspire to change antiqued cultural norms that, through a modern lens, we no longer find ethical. By setting the bar so high that it’s effectively “your objections to killing any animals are only valid if you eat no meat at all,” there’s no reasonable approach to reducing meat consumption.

    You do you. But foisting your religious views on others isn’t ethical either. If you want to view me as a horrible person, because I don’t view eating meat is inherently bad, that’s ok. But, do realize that I don’t agree with your premise and will mentally lump you in the same boat as the Christian nut jobs trying to control other peoples’ bodies.

      I haven’t advocated for making you do anything that you don’t want to do, and I most certainly haven’t suggested that you are a horrible person. Wherever this hostility is coming from, I feel like it’s terribly misplaced.
