> What else would you call food that comes from plants?

Vegetables? I don't know.

> My grandma was born in 1922 in Northern Italy. She ate meat once a year.

Oh so I can safely say you are lying. No fish. No pork. No chicken. No sausages, cold cuts, etc? Also, are you talking about ww2? Are you that sneaky that you equate that abnormal period in time with normality? When the war ended, did she still eat meat once a year? Or is it twice?

> What would you call a diet where you eat meat twice a year?

I thought she only ate meat once a year? Now you are boosting it to twice a year?

> Again, how would you call a diet where 99% of nutrition comes from plants?

If 99% of a human diet came from plants, they would die without supplements. No european diet, even during ww2, was 99% from plants. Is your grandma a herbivore? Is she a cow.

> It's you that decided to get all confrontational and cast doubts on my personal account of what old people told me and my culture, tbh.

What they told you about life in ww2? Or northern italian culture? Stop being so deceptive. Stop extrapolating ww2 to thousand years of history.

> I'm pretty sure that kind of makes me not vegan.

You may not be a vegan ( assuming you are not lying about the pork chops ), but you are lying about european diet. Especially northern italian diet. It certainly wasn't 99% vegetables for thousands of years. It certainly wasn't even 99% vegetables during the war torn era of ww2.
