Every once in a while I get that ominous feeling that killing and specially making animals suffer just for me to eat meat, fish and lactose is extremely wrong, but then I kinda forget.

I kinda see myself hunting wild game though so it's weird.

      Can't imagine how much of an asshole some one would have to be to downbear you for this. Same boat as you, would love to some day but right now I can't or else I'll stop eating altogether. Solidarity <3

        I guess I get it, referring to veganism as something funny wasn't exactly respectful, that was a cheap and unecessary jab on my part, but I can't help it // e:wording

          I wouldn't worry about it, if you've been to most vegan spaces online, we aren't great about that either lol

        Yea, this comes up a lot in the vegan sub, and I always make a point to tell people their health has to come first. Part of being healthy about being vegan is knowing that you're getting everything you need from your diet, and if using a tracking app or something is going to fuck you up, definitely just do what you can to be healthy first and foremost.

      Fair call, I've always had a rotten relationship with food from depression / anxiety stemming from childhood abuse. Used to eat maybe once a day and starve myself for as long as possible on purpose etc. Funnily enough, since moving in with a vegan and doing a lot of the cooking that started to clear up. Once I decided to go vegan myself it got even better. It totally changed my relationship with food, but that might just be personal experience. I still have my bad times, and some really rough ones, but all in all my relationship with food is way, way better today than it ever has been.
