Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking and insightful story that highlights the absurdity of criticizing others' dietary choices. It is essential to recognize that diet is a personal matter related to health and lifestyle rather than ethics or spirituality, as I discussed in one of my stories. Respecting everyone's dietary choices is crucial, as each person has their own unique needs and preferences.

I, too, have experienced changes in my own dietary journey. In my younger years, I followed a vegan lifestyle, but eventually transitioned to an animal-based diet that better suited my needs.

However, I have loved ones and dear friends who follow different dietary paths, including vegetarianism, veganism, or omnivores. We support and respect each other's choices, understanding that life is short and should be enjoyed with empathy and compassion.

Your story reminded me of once I was thrown out of an Airbnb house for cooking steak and fish. But I had empathy for the person and explained it in a story a few years ago.

Your insights on environmental issues are also valuable. It is vital to approach scientific research with critical thinking, as biases can influence the conclusions drawn. Studies on topics like red meat consumption are conflicting and fail to compare similar variables. Fundamentally, humans have evolved over time, consuming meat substantially (nose to tail) but they also ate plants and fruits in scarce times when they couldn't hunt. So as opportunistic eaters, we are naturally omnivores not herbivores like rabbits or cows. Our digestive system is evidence of this.

Your story prompts us to be open-minded, respectful, and discerning when it comes to dietary choices, understanding that what works for one person may not work for another. We need to embrace diversity.
