Why I am not a vegan

[Unbound]

I would note that I wasn't trying to suggest or allude to vegans or vegetarians being deluded or anything of the sort, I, personally, have no qualms with them, I was instead referring to how for myself the very fact that I have to consume life to live is more troubling to me than the particulars of what I am consuming. It is all equally "unfair" to me. Perhaps that is black and white, but to me suffering is suffering is suffering. I can and have attempted to justify or sway myself in one direction or the other but so far all sorts of rationalization doesn't change the sheer fact to me that I have to consume to survive in this body and that means the harm or death of other life, regardless of "less" or "more".
