It just irks me that this is where we are right now. Someone honestly feels entitled to retribution because they were yelled at. After they broke the rules.
I realize there is more to this story, but honestly, it's this kind of stuff that is allowed to go unchallenged that starts to turn people away from the larger story at hand.

These stories are frustrating because they rarely appropriately consider potential, well, incompetence, and instead focus on power dynamics. And employment contract outlines what's expected of employees and surely bosses make that clear frequently. That matters little when our entire society has adopted a "take em down" mob mentality towards any social ill, accurate or otherwise.
Stellas probably has serious shit they need to sort out, but this methodology is divisive... either people are immediately on board and get enraged, or others become immediately defensive at the lack of context or due process. It divides our society.

Except animal protein has proven to be complete protein, compared to most plant proteins which lack certain required amino acids. Maybe you could supplement, but now you're spending $$$. Furthermore, if you want to not only match protein but amino acid content of meat, you have to eat a metric shit ton of lentils, broccoli, peas, etc...
For whatever reason, plenty of people with limited knowledge of food deviate to the idea that meat isn't good for you... there's better and worse but it's a fool's narrative. A lot of unhealthy people might see benefits from reducing meat because they've actually done without all the sauce, excessive butter, grease or frying that comes with it.
Furthermore, if one has any athletic tendencies or goals, going meatless is taking the long way around. Chicken, steak, are absolute staples of a performance diet. There are those that have done without it, but they may blend in with the crowd... almost all leaders in athletic fields eat meat. Tom Brady doesn't count, he just throws a ball.
You could argue the layperson doesn't need to perform like that. That's ok, doesn't mean that meat isn't great for you.
Also, the food guide says 50g per day is enough. If breathing is your goal, sure. To be healthy, or active? Strong? Much more.
But as for the environment? Holy crap, the amount of good that meat does for me is an infinitely more direct impact on my life than a reduction in meat consumption could have on the planet.
I get the whole "do your part" angle but that's akin to forfeiting my car so that somebody can by 10% of a prius. Nonsense.
