    I was included in that initial statement, you’re just walking it back because someone pushed back. So no, caveats aren’t obvious unless you state them.

    Here is another analogy. If I say that men are a problem, am I talking about the individuals that are actual allies? That have educated themselves on women’s rights and liberation? It’s the same here. When I say someone who can genuinely not survive without eating animals was not included, why not just believe that?

    Anti-feminist views and eating meat aren’t linked. I’d love to see evidence if I’m wrong.

    Anti-feminism and anti-veganism are linked. One of those links is called toxic masculinity.
    What kind of evidence would you like? What do you think would convince you?

    some people don’t process vegetable proteins the same as meat

    I think I talked to someone before who described something similar. Wish I could remember what they named it.

    The ongoing flu symptoms, increased lack of focus and insomnia went away the day after I had some chicken

    Now clearly a doctor/nutritionist would have checked for that but my first thought was “When I went vegan I felt the same until I started eating more.”

    I once read about a link between needing meat and ADHD, but haven’t researched it enough to deliver the details.

    I have adhd and am vegan, so it’s probably not that? Unless there is more than one way to “have” adhd I guess haha

      It’s a spectrum for sure.

      Yes, that’s called a generalization and it’s against the rules of this community. If you said men are a problem I would likely report your comment for sexism, as I have with others.

      I do believe you’re excluding me now, but I still disagree with your initial statement and believe it should be ammended.

      I haven’t seen any link between anti-feminism and eating meat. I trust peer reviewed studies with broad sample groups.

      Plenty of research went into what and how much I should be eating before seeing a doctor. The link with ADHD was supposedly higher than average in the general population, and not a rule.
