And another 'I'm a carnivore' piece of BS bites the dust.

Are you a vegetarian?

Hello random stranger and probable troll,

No I am not. I eat mostly vegetables and a little meat sometimes, but if you were going to give me the tired drivel about B-12 vitamins, I should note, I really really like Kimchee.

Personally I don't eat a lot of meat, not because I care about furry animals or because of health reasons, but because it's grossly overconsumed and the market for it results in clearing more and more wildlands to either grow crops to feed to cattle or to let cattle forage.

It's simple really. No machine is 100% efficient. Animals are very inefficient machines. So growing soy crops to feed to cattle instead of feeding them directly to humans is extremely inefficient.

However, that's just my personal world view. I actually don't really care what people eat. I've just listened to a few too many asshats drone on and on about how 'stupid' vegetarians are while trying to make excuses for their own poor eating habits.

It also kind of grates on me hearing people say they 'need' something and act out a psycho sematic response to it faster than it could possibly really take effect. I just happen to witness this more frequently with people saying, 'I need meat' than people saying, "I need non-GMO locally and organically grown yucca root". :)

Call it a pet peeve. Like someone saying 'irregaurdlessly' or 'nuke-u-lar'
