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.

    Unless you’re hunting deer for your meat, which is still cruel, you contribute to this system that is very easy to avoid with slight inconvenience.

    I get that it's slight inconvenience for some but you should be mindful of people who have history of eating disorders or other health issues that make it functionally impossible to be restrictive about their food. I opt for plant based protein when I can and have been working on adding more to my culinary repertoire but for the time being my mental health isn't in a place where I can fully drop meat and animal products.

      There are few dietary restrictions that actually require you to eat animal products, they're far more unhealthy for you.

      If it's some kind of protein deficiency there is plenty of non-animal protein sources, the vegan default is beans ofc and it's dead cheap.

        I'm a picky eater to the point that it's an eating disorder. Without animal products I wouldn't have had any protein; beans make me vomit in disgust. But now I just drink a ton of Soylent so it's a mostly vegan diet.
