The radical food cultists of both extreems cause me to wonder why they
bother. Sure it is for them almost religious in motivation it seems and a
zealot wants others to join the cheerleader squad. They also want it seem
by nosecount that their ideology is in some fashion better rationalized.

But aside from claiming some nutritional advantage they also demand that
many other matters bow to a whole set of baggage they carry along. If
someone thinks that animal fat is vital to sound nutrition and another
that animal products should not be consumed for the same reason, well and
good and full joy to them. But to demand that the rest of the ideological
bagage be accepted as a package is irrational and when taking a step back
to be observed even silly.
