Maybe Ayehasherayeh would prefer to spend time with those of a more humble background, rather than mixing with the rich elite of this world? I for one can understand why. The wealthy & powerful, in my experience, tend to be materialistic & motivated by the desire for material gain, whereas people who live more simply can have more wisdom to offer. Not always the case of course, but generally.
That said, I think the old vegan vs. meat-eater debate is a bit tired now.
