I notice that especially men get very defensive about their perceived meat entitlement. Seems to point to education and environment. Here on HN threads you can also see men getting aggressive when there is a suggestion (even with supporting articles) that it is unhealthy etc. Seems not unlike when it was first suggested that smoking was bad as that was also perceived 'real manly'. Same with guns. With alcohol a bit less but also and with sugar almost not. Seems to correspond with what is shown in culture (books, tv etc) and education as more and less butch.
