>>263355 You realize that people actually need protein right? You can call it a fallacy, but the fact is that you need the nutrition that meat provides, and going vegan is just compromising your nutritional intake. Based on what you've said about your smoking, drinking, and exercise habits for your whole life, I wouldn't recommend putting your body in any position where it has to make special effort to get the resources that it needs to keep going. I'm not fucking kidding here, you will collapse at some point.
You can make a moral stance and say that you won't eat meats that are produced by unethical farms, but the fact is that many of the products that you're denying are things that can be taken safely and humanely. Eggs and milk, for instance, don't put the animal in any danger. There are farms that raise chicken and cattle humanely and ethically. I don't eat beef myself for similar reasons. Over the last few years it has become apparent that the beef industry in particular has no regard whatsoever for safety either of the cattle or the consumer (which is which lol), but the ultimate conclusion to which I came was that my ethics-based issue should only extend to the point that the issue is a reality. If a place raises cattle ethically and keeps strict guidelines of safety to keep people healthy, then I'll eat there.
And besides that, if you're not going to stop smoking, then get off your high horse about being considerate and everything. You're bothering more living things with the rancid smell of your smoke than with your consumption of meat.
