Agreed. This was a really creepy read precisely because of her black-and-white perspective, and the overemphasized near-religious importance her past self put on not eating meat (to the point of considering eating only bad meat, as if pleasure itself is evil or immoral).

I think a hidden problem that was not mentioned enough in this thread is that vegetarianism for many people (the author included) became a clear derivative of christianism (she herself ate vegan as a way to both free herself and the planet for our sins as humans).
