In regards to eating meat

[Tenet Nosce]

It hasn't been done because people aren't willing to do it. And they get defensive and resentful when others (who are willing) ask them to.

Sounds like par for the course to me.

Previously, I suggested reframing the debate in terms of land-based vs. sea-based diets, but the comment appears to have been lost in the fray.

There is an over-reaching principle at play here and that is self-righteousness. On one level there appears to be a noble cause, yet on another level a stubborn unwillingness to admit when the tactics involved in promoting said cause are ineffective.

Many anti-meat-eating folk get just as defensive and resentful when others suggest that they might benefit from a change in their strategy. So... not only do we know what is "right" for everybody, but we also know what is the "right" way to go about bringing that change.

I wonder what kind of programming it is which informs us that when we push for something, and it is not well-received, that the appropriate response is to push harder? And then when pushing harder fails, the appropriate response is to force others to obey our self-righteous demands through the rule of law.

NOTE: Not saying -you- personally do this, just speaking in general terms.

That just all seems like "old world" strategery to me...
