I'm seeing a lot of recidivism into this particular crowd, and the reason's I'm hearing are varied. They are sounding like they have read a few books like The Vegetarian Myth, and other paleo/localvore propaganda because they use similar language "I can kill my own animals now" and they are making health claims (they have lost weight now that they are eating meat, they were told by their doctor to eat meat because they were anemic"). One person said "being vegetarian" was no longer economically feasible or practical (she also mentioned that she didn't see anything morally wrong with eating animals). Both of the individuals who spoke about their recidivism with me this week said that their motivation to go vegetarian in the first place was out of the concern for animals. Finesse in addressing these revelations with these types of people is warranted. I could tell they were a bit nervous talking about this with me (I'm known for being quite outspoken on vegan advocacy here in Columbus) but I just (kindly) asked permission from them to detail their motivations for starting and stopping their commitment to vegetarian living. (I don't believe either of them actually claimed to ever be vegan) This was a friends child's birthday party so getting into a big debate on the issue was not appropriate. I figure any follow-up conversations would be done in a one on one setting. I did ask the individual that was told by her doctor "to eat meat" if she had sought the opinion of a plant based diet expert and her answer was "no". Hopefully that made her think about doing so.</p>
