I very much don't want to have to kill animals for food but meat is such an unreplaceable source of easily digestible nutrients. I've been looking at communities like /r/exvegans and /r/stopeatingseedoils and... They're pretty convincing...

And I'm hungry all the time and my poops are never solid and I get tired sooner than I think I should... But I also never get sick...

I'm tempted to just listen to the drugs on this one, like I didn't choose to be a carnivorous monkey. Hmmmm. I've been craving a steak so badly. Ugh. Urgh.

    and my poops are never solid

    I tried psyllium husk/metamucil recently and I might stick with it. clean pinch every time is that tempting

    Also not going to reddit to look at it but the stopeatingseedoils people are, I think, adjacent to some "functional medicine" scam BS that's taken one of my family members in so idk... Maybe there's some truth to it but lets just say I'm skeptical.

    I will say, and this comes from someone who isn't even vegan (well, I guess you could argue I'm just a very bad inconsistent vegan, I do try): If you wouldn't kill the animal and prepare it yourself, but you are willing to just not think about it and let the even-more-horrifying meat industry slaughterhouses and processing plants do it for you with child labor, you're being a coward and should endeavor to have the courage of your convictions. You may need to adjust what you are eating to get more nutrients, but its definitely untrue that you can't get them without meat
