I actually told some people to do this kind of diet. Even though I feel very uncertain about it.
I was always baffled by the fact that in Asia, when a lot of people speak of “cutting meat consumption”, they start by cutting the meat of cows When I tried to convince them that they should do the reverse, they look extremely surprised. It’s kind of a cultural thing here that cutting cow’s meat first is seen as standard, everyone kind of “knows it has to be the case”.
I think that’s normal in Canada and probably many other Western countries. People think mammals matter more individually (or like them or identify more with them), are less healthy to eat and worse for the environment to farm. It’s plausible to me that the average chicken matters more than the average farmed mammal because of how much worse chicken lives seem to be.
I started my transition to veganism by cutting out meat from mammals, too, although I think I was only starting to get into EA at the time.
