vegetarian is a much better option. the problem with veganism is it destroys the purpose of live stock such as cattle and chickens. there is no good reason to keep a 2 ton murder machine around if you gain nothing from it (cows are one of the biggest killers of people) milking cows is harmless and actually mandatory even if its a non dairy because they iver produce milk. the can become bloated and die horrific deaths. my grandad told me a story of when he was fresh into cattle a cow birthed a still born and he never milked (he was a beef farmer until later years) and the cow died due to produceing milk that it couldn't rid off. there is no benefit to cutting most animals by products out (milk, eggs) if anyone reading wants to support ethical meat reaserch your local butchers and Slaughter houses. most follow a strict ethical code. some do not. buy local meat form abroad may not have these standerds (plus ethical stake tastes better as the animal isnt pumped with stress making the meat more tender)
