it’s not strictly about taste. people need community and esteem and self-actualization, too.
What do those things have to do with choosing what to eat?
what if, to self actualize, i need to master french cuisine? or what if to stay in community, i need to go to a barbecue or thanksgiving dinner? what if, for esteem, i need the convenience of grabbing a mindless quick meal between my duties?
you don’t know what anyone needs. many people may need to eat meat, and nutrition has little or nothing to do with it
It’s all a personal choice. There’s no one holding a gun to your head forcing you to use/consume meat. It’s fine that it’s a personal choice, but it is something one should be aware of.
it’s awfully patronizing for you to decide for other people what they need.
