Well once you figure out that you are contributing to someone else's soul... And their bodies dying completely from the dairy industry... Hopefully you'll change your mind.
? Vegetarians who consume dairy & eggs directly support the slaughter industry. Dairy cows might not be processed into steaks (as their bodies are too worn/depleted fr repeated pregnancies), but they are processed into cheap hamburger and male calves into veal
That's exactly what I was trying to say without saying it. Thank you :-) I was agreeing that vegans haven't been around as long as vegetarians... But that doesn't mean that vegetarians are better by any stretch
Early vegetarians were more aligned w vegan ethics, unlike vegetarians today who largely have kinder options but reject them, hence the reason the term vegan was coined.
