(6,336 posts)I personally think that my diet is none of your business, and if you were like this IRL when I'm eating a steak, I would give a big FU. (I view vegans trying to convert people the same way I view fundamentalist Christians trying to convert people).
Eating raw would be incredibly difficult for me (i have very sensitive teeth and it hurts to chew crunchy foods) so I eat my veggies cooked for reasons called avoiding a toothache. Not cooking takes so much flavor out of food. If I was limited to only raw veggies (as I was growing up) then I would not eat them at all.
I rarely eat meat (about once a week or so) but I would say 90% of my daily protein comes from dairy. It's been that way since I was a little kid. And don't convince me that soy milk is dairy because it is not period. Never really been a fan of nuts because of my tooth sensitivity and the fact that I often choke on them before i can chew them thoroughly. Fake meats, fake dairy, etc have the same appeal to me as dog shit does. I'd rather eat the real thing than something engineered in a science lab. (And I'd rather eat dog shit than algae).
FTR I am a healthy weight and not on any prescriptions. Just a multivitamin.
If it works for you, great, but please mind your own business when it comes to someone else's diet.
