All arguments against veganism end - for me - with the simple reminder to my friendly (and often not so friendly -people tend to take their meat seriously) debater that first and foremost I am an ethical vegan. I really have no choice - I refuse to eat animals. It's my religion. It's not something I'm passionate about - it's something I live - as simple as breathing and just as natural. The questions thrown at me in debates, such as "would I eat an animal if I was starving?' have no meaning to me. I'm not starving. I refuse to play "what if." Yes, if things were different then I may behave or choose differently. I wish things were different. I wish animals weren't tortured for our appetite and pleasure. Maybe if they weren't I would have dairy, or an egg.
But then again -
They're really not good for you after all.
So maybe not.
Peace,
Eric
