I agree with your sentiment, but I feel this post is about those so called “enviromentalist” unwilling to admit their mistakes.

I eat meat, and I am happy to be made fun of because of it. It is not an ethical behavior so I am trying do as little of it as possible, within my mental and physical constraints. Also plenty of actions in our life is not ethical, we are human, not saints; and it is up to us to decide what is acceptable for our own morals.

I am not pointing finger at anyone, but I feel it is indeed unhealthy for both side to be so tense all the time. Yet most of these blame are carried by vegan, because with how prevalent meat eating is (at least in the U.S.), vegans stands out. Maybe us meat eaters can also do better in that regard by allowing vegans to make a “food without murder joke” once in a while. I am sure most vegan will not think you are an utterly horrible person just because you have eatten a big mac for dinner.
