I ask this in good faith, and I do not mean to bring about struggle sessions with this question (keep it civil, please :). I’m writing a sort of mini-essay on a certain topic (Edit: not anymore, I lost my writing appetite), and veganism fits into that topic (I’m keeping it vague because I’ll probably post it here and I don’t want to spoil the whole thing). If people are on the fence and others want to know more about what Veganism is and why they should consume in that way, I would be grateful if others more experienced and well-read on the subject could provide resources or counter-reasons. I feel like a lot of the things I believed before going vegan turned out to be misconceptions, and it doesn’t hurt to be more educated on a subject, right?

Edit: I need to take a break from the internet again, if my brain wasn’t fried already it is now (not anything any of you started, I brought this upon myself)

I’m in the same boat. I could probably say where that belief comes from within myself but i think that’s usually just a waste of breath.

Pastoral agriculture is a farce in the way its used to hide away the crimes of Tyson and the like but as someone who’s been tangentially involved with the collection and processing of my own meat it really just doesn’t bother me much.
