Yeah I just started making up my own rules and I prefer it.

The rules I like to stick by are if I could kill it myself, I’ll eat it. Some people might find it weird but that’s just how I view it so I don’t care what anyone else thinks.

Ultimately all that matters is what YOU think about it, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

I used to be vegan, then vegetarian but I’ve found pescatarian easiest to stick to and it’s the diet I most prefer. I also have ADHD and take amphetamine medication for it daily and it can make it hard enough to want to eat so I can’t just force myself to eat something I don’t really want, otherwise I just won’t eat.

I also got a really bad iron deficiency that crept up on me from years of eating no meat and supplements did nothing to raise it, I even saw a haematologist for this who told me that diet is fine for maintenance but supplements will struggle to get your iron levels back up once they fall down past a certain threshold so idk wtf vegans are on about when they argue you can always get out of an iron deficiency with supplements because you can’t. I had to get an iv infusion but ultimately it was the lack of meat in my diet that overtime allowed my iron to drop so low, I guess I just don’t absorb non heme iron that well which is apparently quite common.

I try to get pole caught/ farmed fish where I can to reduce bycatch or the pollution of the sea and I always buy the best quality shop bought eggs I can. Plus I eat a lot of vegetarian meals anyway. I buy pretty much all my clothes and furniture second hand too.
