It is likely easier than you think to cut out meat and other animal products from your diet. When I went vegan, it basically involved changing from one set of tasty dishes to another, and I don’t think I lost out much from a taste perspective (that being said, I did this at the same time as moving from catered university accommodation, so possibly YMMV). Here is a website which purports to give you all the knowledge you need to make the transition. This is something that you can start doing today, and I urge you to do so.
Exactly. I suspect a disproportionate share of people on LW agree that their eating habits are immoral, but eat the way they do anyway and are willing to indirectly be a part of “torturing puppies behind closed doors.” That is, they are more likely to be honest to themselves about what they are doing, but aren’t that much more likely to care enough to stop (which is different from being “morally indifferent”).
I don’t see why you get downvoted.
I am strongly convinced by arguments for vegetarianism.
I mean, I still eat meat but that’s just because of my moral decrepitude.
