Those were the people I was referring to when I said "technically even the Vedics ate beef". I was making the point that by purporting to "oppose" traditionalism, False Leftists end up adopting the same attitudes as traditionalists.
If you mean that Vedic traditionalism exhibits a double standard by forbidding non-Brahmins to eat beef but allowing Brahmins to consume it, then I would agree. I would also agree that rejecting milk is the correct response to this, but the first step in this process is to reject other meats as well, given that many of the present-day Vedic Brahmins also consume fish, mutton (goat), chicken, etc.
What do you think?
TLDR;
Veganism > Lacto Vegetarianism > Ovo Vegetarianism > Pescatarianism > Flexitarianism > meat eaters
