@afewbugs@social.coop And the lie I was told (growing up) was that being vegetarian was the ethical thing to do (since we're not killing the animals). And like, sure, I guess it's better than the omnivore diet in that way. But I found it hard to take the moral high ground when my diet involved continuously raping cows and chickens. There are of course *other* animal welfare concerns (free-range, pasture-fed, etc etc etc), but...none of that addresses the heart of the issue for me.

@afewbugs@social.coop It was definitely a long journey for me (decided I wanted to go vegan in 2014, but wanted to take the time do it properly and research a few things), so ended up actually going fully vegan in 2021. My diet has never been as varied or nutritious as it is now. My protein intake jumped, my vitamin and mineral intake jumped, and I'm pretty much entirely WFPB (whole-food plant-based). I'm not saying this to make anyone else feel like shit. Just pointing out my own journey. 3/3
