I'm not a vegan and I really don't think I'll ever become one. What about you, are you a vegan or ever been one?
I've flirted with it, but not currently! It is challenging, having *no* animal products whatsoever. What would be the hardest thing for you to give up?
Personally it would be steak and beef, a good burger or steak is just too much to give up for me. Aren't certain vegan products getting pretty convincing though?
Yes! The "Beyond Burger" is popular, even with carnivores. Of course, "eithical vegans" are coming from a different place -- and it's interesting to hear their viewpoint regarding our treatment of animals.
I also hear that they are getting close to very good and relatively cheap lab grown meat, which wouldn't involve any animal cruelty or slaughter at all.
Man, that creeps me out for some reason..?! Silly, I know. Because that would make "environmental vegans" happy given they're primarily against the practice of industrial farming and its impact on the environment.
