Macho eaters can fall under several types, but I was mostly referring to people who associate eating meat with their masculinity, and soybeans are an affront to the American way, etc.
I’ve never heard of an evangelizing meat eater. It’s usually more like they’ll attempt to get a rise out of vegetarians by relishing in the fact an animal had to die, or trying to emphasize the fact that they’re eating meat out of spite. I associate that with assholism, not with meat eating.
I don’t interact with these people in person, just like evangelizing vegetarians. I just hear about it second hand. Again, I just chalk it up to the fact I live in socal. The worst I get is stupid shit like my old roommate ordering the “For every animal you don’t eat I’ll eat three” maddox shirt as a joke. The joke was on him, ‘cause that shirt is ugly. I also get the guilt trippers, but that’s not even malicious.
My family eats Korean bbq every Easter. How that worked out, I dunno. Long time tradition, though.
