One of my favorite facts about nature is the fact that practically nothing is vegan. Herbivores are basically constantly eating insects off of the plant matter they eat, and pretty much anything will eat eggs if they find them unguarded.

My point is that if you want to be “closer to what nature intended”, being a vegan with cheat days is probably the closest you’ll get.

... people are vegan precisely because they don't think we should derive our notions of morality from random observations of charismatic megafauna.

what on earth gave you the other idea? it's always carnists that are like "see you have stubby little canines, eat meat" or "see lions eat the children of a pride when they take over so we should... wait fuck I mean lions eat gazelles alive sometimes so, wait sorry I'll get it. Lions eat meat and are good role models as previously established so you should too"

First paragraph, oh this is a reasonable point-

Second paragraph, this person needs therapy.

I too suggest medical intervention when someone speaks about a subject I'm not emotionally mature enough to engage with.

As a general rule as soon as you start making up words like “carnists” and trying to insert them in regular conversation, you’re probably very deep down a rabbit hole and need to strongly consider the life choices that got you there.

Sure sure, whatever makes you feel more comfortable.
