There's so many distinct subgroups of "you don't have to eat vegetables"

Thought came to me while I was stirring a pot. There's so many ways people get into "you don't have to eat vegetables". I assume you start there and work backwards honestly.

Off the top of my head, there's:

  • I'm a rich dipshit showing the poors how to eat cheap (it never includes vegetables)
  • eating vegetables is gay but carbs are fine (the your da diet)
  • eating anything but meat is gay
  • eating carbs of any kind is bad (keto)
  • appeal to ancestral diets (I imagine my forefathers only ate hunted deer and berries)
  • incredibly idosyncretic appeal to ancestral diets (I imagine my specific family ancestors ate only t-bones from wild aurochs)
  • esoteric woo-woo-hippyism about how onions de-align your chakra
  • vegetables are singularily too expensive (excluding food deserts don't @ me)
  • vegetables are too time consuming to eat
  • I'm "allergic" to vegetables (my diet is so out of whack I can't process fiber anymore) (excluding actual medical conditions don't @ me)
