    David Attenborough is a hypocrite. he preaches love and peace for animals, but he isn’t even vegan. I know he’s done a lot for animals and nature. but how can he preach that animals and nature are important if he eats animals?

      Although Attenborough is not vegan or even vegetarian himself, he has frequently used his platform to promote plant-based diets.

      In recent years, the broadcaster claims to have adopted a mostly vegetarian diet for environmental reasons and has cut red meat from his diet due to its environmental impact.

      In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, he said he no longer has the ‘same appetite for meat’ – blaming the state of the planet.

      However, he recognises his small consumption of poultry and fish is ‘middle-class hypocrisy’ and says it leaves his conscience feeling ‘troubled’.

      He recognises his own hypocracy but looks to have vastly reduced his meat consumption. Nobody’s perfect, but he’s hardly totally ignorant about it.

      Oh boy. Good luck with this comment. Choosing to attack one of the most beloved naturalists in all history is brave, I guess.
