    It’s insane how hard the cognitive dissonance hits. Everyone is trying to find excuses to justify their choices

      I used to be a smoker several decades ago and didn’t defend smoking as hard as people defend meat.

        Some people have made eating meat and making fun of vegans their entire personality. They buy things and spend time posting on social media about it. It is basically their hobby. Really sad, honestly.

          I think part of it is that, similar to console wars there’s like a consumer choice loyalty thing. But on top of that there’s also a resistance generated by the moral part. And that’s all in addition to the usual resistances to change.
