Meatheads, listen up.
As if dating in this tech-obsessed era wasn’t difficult enough, women on social media have officially decided that those who favor meat as a pizza topping are a walking red flag.
As surface-level as that sounds, women like Esme Hewitt (@esmehewitt) have a strong case for this way of thinking, stressing that their views on pizza toppings are more about a person’s empathy towards the environment and the state of our climate.
In a TikTok video with almost 500,000 views, the content creator elaborated, saying, “I personally think that if you can’t reduce your meat intake, then you are selfish. What do you mean you can’t just have a veggie burger once in a while?”
She further added to her point, emphasizing how rainforests are being chopped down to make warehouses to kill animals in and meat lovers’ “just don’t give a f***?”
If you love nothing more than chowing down on a hearty slice topped with enough meats to clog an artery, Hewitt says, “It speaks so loudly to how you view the environment, how you view animal welfare and even yourself. Meat isn’t that good for you.”
And let’s not forget about men’s obsession with getting enough protein, which might very well be one of the reasons they order this type of pizza, which reminds women like Hewitt of “toxic masculinity.”
“I do think there is a correlation between attitudes of men and women and the environment and empathy and just what kind of person you are.”
The Post reached out to the content creator for comment.
Plenty of commenters agreed with this meat point of view.
“The toxic masculinity and protein thing is SO real,” one comment read.
“People get mad at veggies and vegans because there’s no ‘against’ argument that is strong enough. It makes people realise that they aren’t as morally good as they could be so they get angry at those who are, as a defense,” quipped someone else.
“Veganism is the moral baseline,” a commenter wrote.
“As a society, we have made empathy a negative trait and I’ll never understand how we got here,” pointed out another veggie lover.
