You have also sensed it. The heart of the matter for me is why are soo many individuals not ready to become vegan? I think the healing of an incarnation is too easily brushed aside, and too easily not brought into consideration during the discussion of such personal matters, such as this one.
Personally I think this way of thinking is... I'm not quite sure, evangelistic?
If I was to alter your sentence here slightly - "The heart of the matter for me is why are soo many individuals not ready to become [Christian/Buddhist/Muslim/etc]?"
Now I'm sure it will be said that this discussion is totally different from religion but I don't think it is. It is an ideology based on a philosophy which often ties back to morals or logic. It is an attempt to alter or choose one's behaviours to be more in alignment with the fundamental philosophy one has. Therefore, however, its success is founded upon that foundation of philosophy.
In other words I think if someone ate vegan but hated every moment of it they would probably become very unhealthy, maybe much worse than otherwise. Unless, perhaps, they have absolute faith that it works regardless of any enjoyment.
