A \u201cbowl of cereal with skimmed milk, a Greek yoghurt and a lean chicken breast\u201d \u2013 doesn\u2019t that epitomise a \u201cfad diet\u201d (The Guardian view on the carnivore diet: red meat for influencers, but bad news for health, 25 August)? Ultraprocessed, unsustainable and wasteful \u2013 what is supposed to happen to most of the chicken and the precious dairy fat? I shall be sticking to the nose-to-tail red meat, butter and eggs that have restored my health. I suspect that this trend is powered by personal experience more than by influencers. Adele Parks\u2019 account of converting to pescatarianism explains how she demonstrated for \u201cbeauty without cruelty\u201d (A moment that changed me: I gave up meat at 16 \u2013 and learned how to say no, 27 August). But, as she still eats fish and dairy, she apparently doesn\u2019t believe in food without cruelty. If you really want to be kind to other species, go vegan. Otherwise you\u2019re simply saying that\u00a0your form of cruelty is acceptable while others aren\u2019t. Have an opinion on anything you\u2019ve read in the Guardian today?
