I ask this in good faith, and I do not mean to bring about struggle sessions with this question (keep it civil, please :). I'm writing a sort of mini-essay on a certain topic (Edit: not anymore, I lost my writing appetite), and veganism fits into that topic (I'm keeping it vague because I'll probably post it here and I don't want to spoil the whole thing). If people are on the fence and others want to know more about what Veganism is and why they should consume in that way, I would be grateful if others more experienced and well-read on the subject could provide resources or counter-reasons. I feel like a lot of the things I believed before going vegan turned out to be misconceptions, and it doesn't hurt to be more educated on a subject, right?

Edit: I need to take a break from the internet again, if my brain wasn't fried already it is now (not anything any of you started, I brought this upon myself)

    Am, unfortunately, not vegan in the sense of consuming meat and other animal-sourced food, despite agreeing with vegan positions.

    Reason: am weak-willed. My attempts to stop have failed because of that ,essentially.

    I console myself with the fact that the most important thing in this regard is for the relevant industries to be stopped, and that my individual activities wouldn't be enough to stop the suffering of other animals for what is essentially our fun, but I do recognise myself as bad in this regard.
