Was it a one-time sudden realization, a nagging feeling you couldn't get rid of, or a back-and-forth process?
For me, it was 5 or so years of back-and-forth waffling between vegan and "reducitarian/VAH" before a very strong dose of magic mushrooms a few years ago gave me a stern kick in the ass about my own ethics and hypocrisy, which is how I finally stayed vegan. The same trip was the beginning of my political radicalization left as well.
No joke it was VCJ for me as well. I went from eating meat literally 3 times a day, to overnight vegan. Been more that 2 years since then, never slipped, never been visited by the vegan police.
Something about people just being like "fuck you stop eating meat" just worked on me idk why.
