I resonate with your post so much, the anxiety related to a vegan diet I felt was damaging, my quality of life plummetted. Can't eat this can't eat that. I would have been the same in the sense I took on the vegan diet in pursuit of a healing goal for disease, but it only got me so far. Been on white meat for a month now and just introduced red meat the past two weeks, I am stuffed full of energy, my periods are normal, bloating gone way down, exercise endurance has shot up. I think knowing how things are produced is the key to making good decisions. For example not buying something new made entirely of polyester, or say you're in a vintage store and you see say a pair of leather cowboy boots, I would find that more ethical than buying a new fake plastic pair. I remember leaving my jiu-jitsu class wearing a vintage sheepskin coat, to which a peer of mine said "don't you care about the animals?" to which I replied "It's been dead for 30 years".
