Why I am not a vegan

[isis]

The heart of the matter for me is why are soo many individuals not ready to become vegan?

Here's some possible reasons I could think of:

1: they enjoy the taste & texture of meat/dairy.

2: they're with a SO that really doesn't want to make the change & so consequently it'd be too much trouble for just them to do it.

3: they don't believe they're actually contributing to the problem. In other words, they may feel like their "vote" really won't count. When there's a large amount of voters it really is hard to feel like your vote counts. You can easily imagine the outcome of an election w/o your vote & more often than not it's irrefutable that your vote actually did do nothing bc 1 side never wins by 1 vote. (Sure if everyone thought that & they didn't vote then that'd be a problem but that's never the case.)

4: they think things will change for the better, & at the same speed, whether or not they take action to help make it happen.

5: they feel we shouldn't all have to go vegan to make the killing stop. They wonder: why does that have to be the only way, why can't the murderers of animals just stop killing & start waiting for the animals to die of old age or other natural causes?

6: they want to fit in with their friends & family & etc.

7: they feel like eating the animal is causing some kind of bonding with the eternal soul of the animal.

8: they feel like the animal chose to incarnate & suffer for the sole purpose of getting eaten by them since all is well & meant to be.

9: they find meat/dairy eating to be more convenient.

10: they're convinced their body needs it since it's always had it. they think they'll lose too much weight w/o it or get sick & etc.

11: they find meat/dairy to be grounding.

12: they give zero fcks.
