I've been vegetarian for a year or more, but when my hemoglobin was down to 7.9, my doctor advised me to eat meat. At that point, since there was no support in my life whatsover to be vegetarian, I gave it up. If I was in a family of vegans, the story would end differently. Sure, if I had a very strong will regarding this choice, and I applied myself more to it, it might work.
Besides , I have yet to meet one perfect person.
My main point is, people who eat meat do so for a myriad of reasons, and discussions of food choices because it is such a volatile topic for some, would be better without the character judgments.
I admit, I took offense when I read "cognitive dissonance" "weak-willed" and "jealous", I know it wasn't personally directed at me but it seemed generally directed at those who eat meat.
