Why I am not a vegan

[Monica]

The increase in plant death by eating meat is a good point for those that wish to decrease death.

Definitely. The whole attempt to justify based on 'but plants might feel pain too' falls apart because more plants are killed to produce meat.

On the other hand, I'm not sure it's effective to really guilt trip people into stopping eat meat.

I don't think it's possible to cause someone to feel guilt just by providing information. If someone truly feels comfortable in their choices, they won't feel guilt, no matter what anyone else says.

Let's have understanding that
(3) let's face it, meat does taste good.

I used to think so too. But once I made the connection about what meat was, it no longer tasted good and became repulsive.

I would add to your list all the positive aspects of a plant-based diet:

(4) An opportunity to taste many new foods - new taste sensations!
(5) improved health and reduced risk of many diseases
(6) better skin
(7) more energy
(8) better libido
(10) better digestion and elimination
(11) fresher breath
(12) easier clean-up after cooking
(13) less risk of food poisoning
(14) less exposure to synthetic cancer-causing hormones
(15) less exposure to pesticides
(16) less exposure to antibiotics
(17) zero exposure to fear hormones (that the animal felt when s/he was dying)

it's like trying to talk intelligently about meditation and about why it is or isn't for you after only trying to meditate a few times over several days. Experience just doesn't work that way.

Very true! Why not just try it for a month?
