Why I am not a vegan

[Diana]

Okay everyone, I give up trying to make myself understood. And for those omnivores who think they understand me, I feel that for the most part that understanding is very limited in nature. 

Whoever thinks it's okay to participate in the perpetuation of animal suffering, for whatever reason and whatever end goal, it is your choice and I do honor free will.

I feel I have gone above and beyond to understand everyone's ideas and viewpoints. In this I am very grateful, as it has stretched my understanding and efforts to communicate clearly. I can't say the same for most who post here in favor of consuming meat/dairy. In fact, I really don't want to parry the blows anymore, such as vegans being extremists.

I will leave you with the many many posts I have made in the many threads on this subject. I have definitely widened my perspective (and I would like to state here that I always understood there are bigger pictures and higher perspectives), but my basic views have not changed for me. This is not because "people don't really change" or that I am incapable of changing my perspectives and opinions. On the contrary, I am open to evolving as I am basically of a scientific bent, and all scientists, and historians, know that new information changes ideas. 

Au revoir, at least on this subject.
