That was a very interesting read. Thank you! I share a lot of thought with your philosophy and I'm confident that is what most vegans think too. I am too aware and grateful to be able to choose my diet. I don't blame people who have no choice but to use animals to make a living. Though I sometimes regret that people in developed countries don't really think about what they put in their plate.

Yeah, I feel lucky to have had it occur to me to think about this stuff. I can't put into words what a weight was lifted when I stopped supporting that stuff. It is just an all-around emotional lightness that permeates every aspect of my life. It's like discovering that I had been dragging a sack of rocks for so long that I had just assumed it was a part of life. I can remember how bad it was, and trying to convey this to people always seems to be taken the wrong way. I don't know why I got lucky in this way, and it is very frustrating to be unable to explain how much better it is since it really feels like a choice that most people could make if they only knew.
