The War on Meat

The carnivore diet is often perceived as extreme or abnormal due to the values people attach to animal rights. Walk through the Rittenhouse Farmer’s Market on a weekend in Philly, and you’ll likely encounter protesters against eating meat. Animals hold a strangely high value in today’s society, sometimes surpassing the desire for children. Pet ownership is becoming a substitute for parenthood. Since when did this become the new normal?

A New Pseudo-Religion

With the decline of traditional religion in modern culture, people have adopted new belief systems—like veganism—which act as virtue-signaling pseudo-religions. The irony of veganism? Sacrifice still exists to create those “ethical” vegan products. Farmland producing tofu, soybeans, and other vegan foods is often cleared of insects and animals that roam naturally. There’s always a slaughter—whether it’s insects, rodents, or other small creatures—to make even the most “humane” vegan product.

The Juicing Myth

Another trend? Juices marketed as “health drinks.” Juice is not healthy; it’s sugar water packaged as a health product for the “skinny-fat” population. Yet, it’s sold with a sense of righteousness, pushing people further into dietary trends that don’t nourish or sustain them.

Profit Over Nutrition

The reality is, the war on meat is a money scam. Follow the dollar trail, and you’ll see that vegan products are more profitable and marketable to a society increasingly influenced by social norms and ideological shifts. Selling vegan alternatives is simply good business to those capitalizing on these new norms.

Eat consciously. Question what’s behind your food choices. In a world where dietary beliefs have taken on religious zeal, make sure your decisions are yours, not just products of the latest “moral” trend.
