Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat

I think it’s more related to hypermasculinity and meat. Eg grilling steaks. The whole bacon craze with men. Those Burger King commercials with all the meat and the girls licking ranch. Hungry Man frozen dinners with the meat as the biggest and most important thing.The fact that they call their dicks their meat or sausage (does look like sausage so I get). The weightlifting bros and high protein diets that are usually meat. Keto and men and Joe Rogan. The Atkins diet being marketed to men. I was just doing a back and forth with a guy on Lemmy who insisted the only food you need to eat is meat because it has all the vitamins you need (it does not, or at least, muscle meat does not and he didn’t seem into eating organ meat like heart and liver).

But yeah it’s also probably related to “Beef, it’s what’s for dinner” stuff too.

I just think it’s the masculinity thing because a lot of rightwing men have to hide any bit of feminity they can, and most people are a mix of masculine and feminine traits normally so it causes them to overcompensate.
