Thanks for not fucking up the planet any faster than you have to, and for being a better person than I am.
I've almost given up meat. I don't see myself ever giving up cheese. But I appreciate you guys and what you're (not) doing.
Agree with this however I'm not vegan and don't want to take underserved credit for the effort it takes to make it a permanent change.
I'm heading down the path but still have a ways to go to the destination.
If everyone made an effort we'd live in a completely different world almost over night. At least as someone who cares about sustainability side of it, that's what matters. But I appreciate that veganism consists of a bunch of different forms of arguments and motivations.
My path to veganism has more to do with refusing to be poisoned by the corporate clowns that don't care they're killing us all with listeria and microplastics in EVERYTHING and a supply chain that I refuse to depend on.
It shouldn't be unreasonable to buy and consume healthy vegetables from a normal store but it gets harder every day. My means of survival will not be affected by recalls and cross contamination, corporate greed, or animal slavery.
IMO- Our survival will depend on our ability to take back control from companies that would sell us our doom with a shiny ribbon wrapped around it. Self-sustainable veganism is my bet for our future and I'm doing everything I can to bring it to reality as quickly as I can.
