[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Billy]

You know, I often see the whole 'this is issue is complex, subtle and nuanced' reasoning used quite frequently in debates such as this, and while I do believe there is some merit to such rational, I also think that it is used as a means of avoidance and as a cop out.  The reality of the situation is that eating animals and animal products is at best questionable.

I do agree with JustLikeYou though, that is impossible to not be hypocritical in one way or another, that is just the human condition.  Yet, I think it is important to not let this deter you from making changes and trying to live in friendly and harm free manner.
