You wouldn't be golden (from a vegan perspective), but you'd only have the animals you ate on your ledger.

This is one reason why I do think carnivore is often a more ethical choice for people. I've noticed that those who go carnivore tend to also avoid factory farmed meats, which are by far the worst from a moral standpoint.

Undisciplined

Good point. So then, if you were eating grass fed/grass finished beef, you'd be golden? Or if you were eating wild game?

conspiracy

There's currently a propaganda campaign against low-carb diets

I'm aware of that argument and it's based on the animals killed in the production of major field crops. The problem with that argument is that major field crops are not primarily produced for human consumption, but rather for animal feed. That means all of those additional animal deaths actually go on the meat side of the ledger.
