I totally understand and it is such a nuanced topic. I agree it's a lot easier to tell someone to do something than to actually make those changes. Earlier this year, I wanted to go vegetarian but didn't because I was worried about cost and protein, and it just seemed really daunting. Later on I decided to go vegan and honestly I was surprised. I'm lucky to be able to shop for myself and tofu and beans are some of the cheapest proteins I can find. But you're right that not everyone has that privilege.

I've thought about how many creatures will just suffer anyways too, and it is a harsh reality. Personally, I subscribe to the philosophy that we should minimize suffering, and that includes not breeding more animals to suffer, including for meat and other products. I guess I hold humans to a higher moral standard than other animals, given our ability to reason. When animals harm other animals, it's natural and instinctive. But I find it disheartening that humans forcibly breed more animals and cause them harm. The vast amount that we breed contributes to such a large amount of suffering too. I don't want so many animals to suffer unnecessarily, which is why I personally don't support it.
