The thing I was referring to was an exchange on Facebook, particularly the comment where you wrote:
also i felt like there was lots of protein, but maybe folks just didn’t realize it? rice and most grains that are not maize have a lot (though less densely packed) and there was a lot of quinoa and nut products too
That exchange was salient to me because, in the process of replying to Elizabeth, I had just searched my FB posting history and reread what veganism-related discussions I’d had, including that one. But I agree, in retrospect, that calling you a “vegan advocate” was incorrect. I extrapolated too far based on remembering you to have been vegan at that time and the stance you took in that conversation. The distinction matters both from the perspective of not generalizing to vegan advocates in general, and because the advocate role carries higher expectations about nutrition-knowledge than participating casually in a Facebook conversation does.
I’ve struck out some of my comment above that, based on your reply, no longer makes sense.
We may still have other disagreements about other things, but your comment seems to break your claim that I’m a threat to truth seeking, so I’m happy to leave it there.
