    I can tell you that it was really hard to make that connection for me. 5 long years since I was first introduced to vegetarianism, a shroom trip, watching Dominion and Earthlings multiple times, the book “Tender is the flesh”, and a course on generating compassion. I really made an effort to make the connection happen because I was convinced that it was the right thing but still I loved meat and couldn’t say no to it, and the memories of the slaughtered animals were there too.

    When my brain finally clicked I couldn’t see meat as food anymore and went vegan, but meanwhile I couldn’t stop wanting it, and not thinking too much about the issue while eating was easy.

    I feel there’s more to it for the whole issue. A strong attachment to the taste of meat is one. I have a friend that stopped being vegan and I’m sure the reason is this attachment too. And it is really hard to see it because there are a lot of mechanisms trying to convince you that it is not attachment. And I feel that this attachment kills the compassion/empathy.

    I’m not 100% sure about it but I think my brain finally clicked when I was doing this compassion course. So maybe it was having a low empathy for animals the problem after all. But that was something hidden for myself, if you asked me back then about animals, I would tell you the typical bullshit about me loving animals and so forth. It was a lie that I believed myself. And that’s something to be aware of because I think most of the people are on the same page.

    Regarding the minimally unethical are you sure about that?

    Like do you know what happens to the male born chicks? Or what happens to the hens that stop giving eggs? Or in what conditions do they live? And about dairy, do you know what happens to male born calves? And what happens with the cow when she stops producing milk? And how the cow feels when their children are taken from her?

    My friend, eggs and dairy are even more brutal that meat industry, which they are the same industry by the way.

    In which cases exactly they are free of suffering? I can’t understand how you can believe that.

    I mean have you seen the automated shakle line before the electric stun bath? Can you imagine yourself being put on this while someone tells you “no worries, you are not suffering”

    You can see it in video I shared before, the whole process is shown, from birth to death.

    Wow thank you for such a great response!

    I love India with all my heart, I’ve already been there 3 times, but only on the northern area. And yes at least from a vegan perspective it was a paradise in comparison with my country where from the article being a “chameleon” is a basically a need to not isolate yourself.

    The areas I’ve been were mostly Buddhists and yeah it hurts seeing how many Buddhists just don’t care when the Mahayana teachings basically tells you go vegetarian at very least. But I’m glad that it worked for the Hindus, a funny thing, I didn’t know that! Well I didn’t know most of what you said, makes me want to go back again hehe
