I explain why not. Because bad, unsubstantiated arguments are provided.
> should we only read and watch things that we agree with?
Sure not. But when disagreeing, bring evidence pls.
> Vegetarians compose about 3% of the population. I'd say that's a "margin group". If you live in a coastal city in the US, vegetarians may be over-represented.
Someone who does not eat meat/fish for a day, is that person a vegetarian? I do not know definitions, but I just want to say it is not black-white. Not hippie vegetarians vs the normal omnis.
> Blatantly false where I live. Produce is substantially cheaper all summer
Ok. I was comparing the supermarket with the street markets. In street stalls the prices seem to fluctuate much more according to seasonal availability then in the supermarkets. But heay, just and observation :)
