If you want to see what appears to be a training ground for beef industry propaganda, check out /r/AntiVegan on Reddit. The vitriol is overpowering. I simply quoted a contradictory statistic from a paper a mod posted themselves that supposedly showed that not eating meat is unhealthy, and got banned.

It's wild to me how angry and threatened people get by a personal choice to not eat something.

I think this is mostly a reaction because the other side gets very upset about people's choice to eat something.

A bit of it is surely the usual joking around, but no one is particularly upset about my personal dislike of eating fish, for example.
