I was like that for awhile. It’s tough to admit to yourself that you’re part of the problem and even more difficult to change. My actions now align with my values, so I feel less moral tension day-to-day.
It’s about like everything else living in our society. There’s already too much to be concerned about without becoming exhausted by it, survival, economic, social, spiritual, moral, etc. Being truly vegan takes a particular special effort and our society is not set up to support it and make it easy and accessible without extra effort on your part. So then it becomes a question of priorities like everything else. Hard line vegans prioritize it higher than most, moral vegetarians a bit lower, and everyone else lower still, if at all. In a perfect world where the majority of our base level needs were met, I think veganism would be a much higher priority for people, but it’s just one of many things to be concerned about in this world, and so naturally it will not be on top of everyone’s list.
that’s an even stronger claim than is made in the comic, which is only that vegans might be right. which i can agree to, but i have yet to find compelling evidence.
I eat meat everyday but I can logically see the vegans are correct.
Vegans are objectively right about the meat industry.
People who claim otherwise just don’t want to be told they can be wrong.
But I also love meat.
