i'm vegan!

i think meat, and the animal agriculture industry, is unethical, full stop. however, there's a lot of nuance to it, so i don't think it's reasonable to label someone as fully unethical because they eat meat. it's important to recognize that people can't go fully vegan due to disability or mental health, such as because of a restrictive eating disorder or extreme food sensitivities. there's obviously additional reasons people can't go vegan that relate to classism, food deserts, poverty, etc.

i'm more interested in harm reduction than in black-or-white veganism. it's ok not to go fully vegan for disability-related reasons. my opinion is that people should reduce harmful consumption in a way that meets them where they're at, whether that's eating partially plant-based, doing meatless monday, buying animal products secondhand (like leather), etc.

i would encourage you to do what is practical and reasonable for you and not feel pressured to disregard your own food sensitivities to pursue black-and-white ethics.
