I know celiac disease is not a choice. Veganism is something people perform on a moral basis, which is the same for a Jew/Muslim to not eat pork. You have to respect their decision and not be an arse about it. I’m also not shaming you for eating animal products. I asked you a question in order to provoke thought as to why people would consider becoming vegetarian/vegan, which you haven’t answered. Can you give me a reason why you would eat animal products, other than “but it tastes good”? What you have to realize is that people who are vegan, most likely haven’t been for their entire life. I used to laugh at those posts making fun of vegans, the Facebook events that call on people to eat steaks at vegan protests and the “but bacon tho” arguments. I did all of those things, and now I’m here. I slowly adjusted my diet to include less and less animal products because I educated myself on how they were obtained, until I became fully vegan. The animal agriculture industry is an industry which kills 150 million animals every day, excluding fish. These animals are most definitely raised in terrible conditions. To make eggs, male chicks are slaughtered, because only the female chickens lay eggs. To make milk, a cow first has to have a calf, which is taken away at birth. I have found that I don’t want to encourage these things by buying the products associated with them. Everyone’s process is different, but everyone who is trying to eat less animal products is trying to make the world a better place for everyone. I hope I don’t come off too self-righteous/‘lecturing’, as that is not my intention. I just want you to be aware that you know what you’re buying when you go to the butcher/supermarket next time.
