Thoughts?
I have never attempted here to shame others into vegetarianism, whether for health, ethical, or environmental reasons. Comparing veganism to being an eating disorder sounds like you are trying to shame vegans for trying to live a healthier lifestyle.
I am not going to shame a Buddhist, in any way, shape or form, for choosing to eat meat, and I'm sorry if I've given that impression.
I will just point out, for the sake of logical consistency, that if it's misconduct to kill animals for meat, then you are enabling this misconduct by purchasing it.
Monastics who rely on alms for food don't have the luxury to decide what to eat and not eat, but we do if we go out and buy our own food.
People will need to make their own dietary choices, and it's not my right to judge others as somehow inferior because of it.
