Am I a Carnivore Hypocrite?
In a Nutshell
The speaker owns a movie theater selling popcorn and candy but defends it as non-hypocritical because the concessions exist only to keep the theater open, generate no personal profit, and stopping sales would achieve nothing since customers would buy the same items elsewhere. They argue real change comes from individual responsibility, not restricting options at one location, and point to their theater's role in screening carnivore documentaries that have converted people to the diet. They acknowledge the emotional difficulty of selling addictive foods to children but maintain that personal choice, not availability, is the core issue.

The speaker owns the Montello Theater with their wife Jen. They sell popcorn, candy, and soda while promoting a proper human diet that excludes these items. The speaker personally stopped eating popcorn, which was one of the hardest foods for them to give up, as they used to eat it nightly while testing batches before serving the public.
The speaker emphasizes that the theater generates no profit for them. Neither they nor Jen have taken a single paycheck in four years of operation. The small popcorn costs $2, significantly below typical theater pricing of around $8. They did not acquire the theater to make money and are simply happy to avoid bankruptcy. The concessions sales exist solely to keep the doors open.
