carnivore "options" will be as rare or rarer than vegan "options" are now.

P.S. A vegan patty prepared on a grill awash with animal fat, or fries done in the same oil as chicken pieces are not much of an option, really.

I don't suppose my dietary choices are are nearly as controversial now as they were forty years ago when I quit eating animal products. I'm no crusader, and I rarely mention it, but I thought to chime in.
