> I wouldn't take driving advice off someone that hasn't driven for 10 years, even if they passed their test.

That's a faulty analogy. The equivalent would be getting advice on alternatives to driving from someone who no longer drives.

I don't think I'd request advice on the best form of public transport from someone who drives everywhere and has taken the train once or twice.

> The meat eater has less agenda

Ha! Really? Everyone has an agenda. Meat eaters / car drivers / vegetarians / non-drivers have all emotionally committed to their decision. It's naive to think otherwise. Everyone likes to assume their choice is the sensible one and the "other side" has an irrational militaristic agenda.

My point exactly.
