Reacting to the post, one user commented, “I don’t understands why it has to be about cruelty Etc. Everyone has their own preference. Would you ask a carnivore animal to be vegetarian? Nature has created all of us in certain way, let’s respect that and move on with life. We are built to consume plants and meat both… plants are also living things.”

“Plants don’t go through child labour pain; animals do. Plants don’t suffer from pain; animals suffer. Plants don’t have brains; animals do,” the food blogger responded.
“What’s proud of that??? Keep ur thoughts and ideology with you no issues. Don’t tell the other side is cruel. Your mentality is more cruel than what’s on a Non-vegetarian plate. Better change ur mind or change ur posts…. Coexistence is the ultimate goal in a social community,” wrote another user.
“I really dont understand this contest between vegetarians and non vegatarians . why can we just be thankful for any food on our plates insteadvof trying to compare. each to his own … live and let live!” expressed one user. “Its also free from protein and other essential nutrients. Your ‘pride’ has resulted in majority of our country becoming skinny fat due to the excessive and sole consumption of carbohydrates,” added another.
In response, several users shared photos of their non-vegetarian meals, proudly expressing their support for their own food choices.
