    A friend told me that she asked her father to watch a vid for her bday. He agreed and converted after seeing it. For this reason, I cowardly avoid seeking out such material (I love meat). I know that I should switch. I’m just selfish enough not to.

      You should really just stop lying to yourself and have a look at what it really is you “love”.

        Are you implying anyone who eats meat loves animal cruelty?

        No, we just like eating meat. It’s really not that deep

          No, I don’t. I think most people are not enjoying cruelty at all. I’m implying that they’re just pretending they were aware of the cruelty they are actually responsible for. While in reality they have no idea.

          Edit: Sorry, I thought you were the original commentor. No idea what point of view you have here.

      The comments responding to you are pretty unnecessarily hostile, but I personally get where you’re coming from. I personally think it’s best to watch the thing so that you can be best informed, even if it’s hard to do. Not even because of veganism being ethical, but because the fear of the unknown is a lot scarier than any documentary could be, IMO. Information is power, and having information (even distressing information) is empowerment.

      Also, I loved meat too, but when I went vegan, I never really missed it. I was pretty worried about missing certain foods (one was sushi), but that never really happened to me.

      That’s fucked up and you should be revolted with yourself for admitting it.
