Thought came to me while I was stirring a pot. There’s so many ways people get into “you don’t have to eat vegetables”. I assume you start there and work backwards honestly.
Off the top of my head, there’s:
- I’m a rich dipshit showing the poors how to eat cheap (it never includes vegetables)
- eating vegetables is gay but carbs are fine (the your da diet)
- eating anything but meat is gay
- eating carbs of any kind is bad (keto)
- appeal to ancestral diets (I imagine my forefathers only ate hunted deer and berries)
- incredibly idosyncretic appeal to ancestral diets (I imagine my specific family ancestors ate only t-bones from wild aurochs)
- esoteric woo-woo-hippyism about how onions de-align your chakra
- vegetables are singularily too expensive (excluding food deserts don’t @ me)
- vegetables are too time consuming to eat
- I’m “allergic” to vegetables (my diet is so out of whack I can’t process fiber anymore) (excluding actual medical conditions don’t @ me)

You missed “You can’t tell me I need to eat vegetables, because some other people who are not me have a medical condition such as ARFID or live in a food desert”
“An indigenous population to which I have no connection and which I would gleefully see genocided/make impotent noises against being genocided at some point relied on a specific flesh for survival, and somehow this absolves me from the material consequences of my Ultra Roast Grease-based diet.”
