Rather than belittle each other, simply tell us (if you wish to) how your eat and why.  The challenge here is to discuss and perhaps persuade rather than argue and berate.

    I eat everything  . I probably could be tempted to be vegetarian because  my daughter is and I like the food she eats. But I don't think too much about it

    I have been a vegetarian for 24 years now. Watched some videos on local cable access on factory farms and quit on the spot because I wanted no responsibility for what I witnessed and have never regretted it (though the smell of bbq still gets my stomach growling...). I dont preach to anyone how to eat and actually do not like it when people find out I am and ask me why I'm a vegetarian (just makes me uncomfortable for some reason since its just a personal choice). My wife, kids, and friends all eat meat and doesnt bother me in the least.

    I eat meat but I do understand its negative environmental impact, especially beef. I source my meat from local farmers. This is fairly easy as I live in the west of Ireland and I have cows and sheep grazing a few hundreds yards from my house. The local butcher lists which farm the meat comes and these animals spend the majority of their life outdoors. I never buy meat from supermarkets.
    Although, I have tried to limit my meat consumption over the past few years.

    This may sound callous but everyday millions of animals and invertebrates are torn apart and mangled in nature as prey.  Nature is cruel.  So how the food dies is low priority.  How they live however is.  We buy grass grazed cattle and free ranged buzzards from the farmers markets.  Its twice the cost but worth it.  I never buy anything with a USDA label on it.
    I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

    Trying to choose vegan when possible, but most often vegetarian. More shitty than I wish.

    I am mostly carnivore.
    I’m mostly carnivore mainly because I’m lazy when it comes to proper nutrition, I’ll admit. However I do subscribe to the theory(?) that we’ve evolved into omnivores.
    That said, I have come to question some of our practices, such as drinking other animals milk.
    A couple months ago I “suffered” through 2 weeks of a “whole food, plant-based” diet when I spent time with my aunt and uncle (he cites the diet as the cause of the remission of his rheumatoid arthritis, and he has greatly improved since the change, though they do have the occasional cheat day where meat is eaten). I came home with some recipes I’ve yet to try cooking, and am heading back to their place for a couple more weeks soon.
     I try not to judge anyone for their choices in this regard, as long as we all let ourselves be open to a bit of good-natured ribbing on the topic, lol.
