Toast message
Many veterans, for example, are vegan because they suffer negative battlefield associations with the smell of cooked flesh.
It's not uncommon for Type 1 Diabetics who were born that way or had bad reactions to vaccinations, to become vegans because their formative years as infants were closely associated with blood, the taste and smell of blood and being hurt every few hours by their parents (blood tests and injections).
Some people live such healthy diets that they can no longer tolerate preservatives in restaurant or supermarket meat and instead hunt and freeze their own game. Most off-the-grid hunters experience this as what we consider to be "normal" grocery store food becomes inedible. These people occasionally rely on plant-based-proteins if their hunting season didn't produce enough meat.
What makes me laugh and makes me sad is how effective the cultural programming of the meat industry of the 1970s was when their adverts implied only real men eat meat. Since then, every coward with a tiny penis has been breathlessly bragging about how much meat he eats.
Personally, I'm a prepper and I love knowing about gluten flour and pea proteins that can be stored forever.
I also like trying new things and knowing how to cook for my vegan friends who also enjoy trying new things.
