I only learned about this recently too.

Isn't it absolutely crazy?
I've been decently good at picking up some rhetoric since I was a teenager, but this one completely passed me by.
I remember when I told my stepmom that I wasn't eating meat anymore, and she lashed out at me and told me all these things about needing it, and pointing at her teeth.
She has no background in any of this, and as far as I could tell, no particular attatchment to it. She wasn't concerned with my health- she was angry, she was lashing out like she was violated.
I never said anything other than I couldn't eat meat, if we were planning on having dinner together.

That's all.

So I heard the rhetoric against humans, in terms of meat, but I never for one second questioned if animals could go without, and that surprises me that I didn't.
I would be afraid of the type of experiments that had to be done to figure it out, but I suppose if you are doing blood work around the clock and checking every single moment of the process, then I guess it would be pretty safe.

Blows me away that I never even considered it would be possible, considering I never saw a real road block. Just believed the rhetoric right out.

You know she may have just been concerned for your health

I thought that. I actually tried to think that.
But she was extremely aggressive, argumentative, and defense, and I never even got a chance to speak.

But I have heard people say that before, and I have tried to give her that benefit of the doubt.
Unfortunately, she spoke the entire time directly about herself, and literally never mentioned me once in her entire reaction.
Which makes me think it was more a defensive reaction to protect herself from feeling accused or feeling like she 'was less than' me or something.

Which I never ever insinuated in literally any way, I only spoke one sentence to her. But I imagine she might have regressed into subconsciously feeling like she was attacked, from other attacks she might have gotten about it (or perceived attacks) from other times in her life.

But thanks for the thought- I did run through it. I would want to believe that, but I don't think that was the case. I think it was defensive, and subconscious for the most part.
