Carnivore here, we aren't against vegetables as a idea, you do you, but we don't see them as necessary, and some people can't tolerate them (allergies, gluten, lectins, etc)

we don’t see them as necessary

as though it were just a matter of preference

Well, yes, the carnivore position is there is no essential nutrition missing from eating a animal tip to tail.

Eating veggies is a preference, at least biologically

Nobody says that all vegetables are ultraprocessed, that would be a silly statement to make. However, UPFs are mostly made with plant material.

People love to claim that vegans only eat processed foods 🤪
