Why I am not a vegan

[Diana]

On a positive note ( given the flaming that's happening in the other thread), I am making a concerted effort to be highly conscious with regards to food choices.  I speak up whenever I can to bring to light the horrible food system we have created.  I am not vegan, but I think that activists for animals have been fighting an uphill battle, and their warriorship is rife with all kinds of catalyst ( reactions and not unified ego behaviors).

So despite whatever ill feelings between us, I have gratitude for their immense compassion and effort on behalf of creation and want to personally and publicly thank Monica, Diana, Brown eye and Indolering.

Thank you Shemaya. I have no ill feelings for you or anyone else participating in this forum. I am grateful to this forum and everyone here for the opportunity to canvass subject matter openly which I rarely get a chance to outside of B4.

Just to be clear, I am not an animal activist. I never talk about the subject unless asked. The one exception is here, where you could even say I am still being asked as questions open up discussions.

I do not see not aligning with animal cruelty as a battle. I see it as a heartbreakingly sad situation humans have gotten themselves into. I'm not sure what you mean by "not unified ego behaviors," but you can count me out of that. My ego has nothing to do with my feelings about animals and food.

You are correct in a sense, that just being vegan or vegetarian is an uphill battle in general. It is swimming against a huge tide. I don't care though. I don't care about the mean jokes, the in-your-face jibes, or any of that. The only thing that affects me is the misery of animals because of human unsconsciousness.
