“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." -Michael Pollan

You can tell metaculture isn't here for that grift money because this page would be an ideal spot to sell you a fad diet or some fractal-branded supplements.

Nor will metaculture promote any elaborate, restrictive diets that keep you from the foods you love to reinforce an in-group. [1]

Since the enjoyment of food is one of the primary sources of happiness that the human brain has evolved, limiting that enjoyment is a crime against utilitarianism.

To address the environmental concerns regarding meat consumption, moderation is preferred over abstinence. Addressing overpopulation combined with a reduction in the average frequency of meat-eating will have a much bigger environmental impact than if everyone went vegan and overpopulation is not addressed. And it has the added benefit of feasibility, since the backlash against veganism is palpable to anyone who has ever brought it up in an online forum.
