Veganism is something that just seems impossible for me to adhere to.
Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products and it was hard for me at the start 
I just can't imagine not eating all of the things that I eat today, like red meats and any animal products.
Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism so you can see one that you would like
That's true but the end result is the same: not getting to use animals products.
Yeah over all i think you can have a really balance diet as a vegan
I just think it would be harder to access protein and be able to match the amount of food I need to main muscle at the gym.
The term "ethical vegan" is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, which i find pretty cool
