Veganism isn’t a pedestal position, it’s an open position for anyone to adopt, who wishes to be as conservative and compassionate as possible. Whether we examine the question of ethics from the rights of the animal, from doing the least harm possible, or from being the most ecologically beneficial; a plant-based diet comes out ahead.
The only excuse for taking the life of an animal is if one is in a position of necessity. For those of us watching this video, we have ample options to eat other than animals, therefore to CHOOSE to kill is a major ethical problem. If one thinks that humans need to eat animals, then the question someone still desiring to be compassionate and conservative needs to ask is, “How much meat is truly necessary for human health?”
For me and many others, the answer is zero animal products necessary. So, the ethical path is clear, eat vegan as much as you can. I have for 10 years and feel better by the year.
