    Judge not etc. It’s okay to be passionate, but the world is pretty complicated rights now and living ethically isn’t easy.

      I didn’t say being an animal murderer is bad. If you think animal murder isn’t okay then that’s on you.

        Yeah, that’s fair. I’m definitely struggling because I think I should give up meat, but I really don’t think I can. I’ve loved meat for my whole life and it’s a huge ask, plus the vegan months I’ve tried have been horribly grueling.

        I do try to only spend my money in positive ways though and boycott a lot of places I don’t agree with.

        But I guess you’re right to an extent, if it’s not hard work, it’s not really a statement/commitment. Although boycotting the after eight game at Christmas for not supporting nestle was a challenge.

          I don’t understand what’s gruelling about veganism. Roast potatoes, fried mushrooms, spaghetti and pasta, yummy tofu cooked in soy sauce with spices, chips, pizza, hamburgers, ramen, coffee, hot chocolate, trail mix, sandwiches, and toast are all or all can be vegan and are plenty cheap.
