    Very true, “pescatarians” are even worse. I have way more respect for unapologetic omnis than vegetarians who are “concerned” with the ethics of their Food.

    That said, it’s important to be patient with people on their food journeys. Quitting cheese especially is like quitting a drug. That’s why vegetarianism even exists and not the opposite path of quitting eggs/milk/cheese THEN meat. If you think about it that’s the path that makes more sense by any ethical/environmental/health standard (not that meat is good for you in any way) but no one does that because it’s way fucking harder to give up cheese. Why people cling to eggs though I don’t get. Eggs are overrated AF.

      I had more trouble with eggs than cheese tbh, but each to their own. I'm also all for some patience, but gotta have the reality of milk and egg production shown to vegetarians.

      They don't get a big special boy tick in my eyes, maybe because I skipped that step and don't know why the need it.

          Nah, no idea. Just googled it and it's some sort of rock salt?

          I think it as easy for me to skip it because I already loved cooking and cooked most of my own food. A little easier in Aus than other places in the world maybe - I hear getting fresh food is kinda fucked in a lot of the US

            kinda fucked is an understatement. impossible for a sizeable percentage of the population, difficult for many more, and generally inconvenient otherwise.

            pretty sure the u.s. just decided at some point that everything was fine coming out of a can
