I'm a vegan - do you eat meat?
1_Wizard
Yes, I eat meat. It seems necessary to survive. And I also like the taste.

when you say necessary to survive do you mean because of all the protein in meat?  I do miss the taste of meat for sure. 
1_Wizard
Yes! That's exactly what I mean. I find that its filling and provides all the protein needed to survive. I don't know much about veganism. Why did you choose to eat this way?

I feel that it's not right to eat any living thing.  I know people who eat meat won't eat dogs or cats - but why not?  I mean what's the cut off to what's ok and what's no ok?  So I choose not to eat any of it.  I get protein from plants but I'm aware it's not as good as from meat.  Would you ever give up meat?

I think it is possible. I have done it before for religious purposes. I don't think it would be a long-term thing. But I would then be a vegetarian. And the reason for it to be long term would probably be health-related.

Vegan is SO much harder than vegetarianism!  I sometimes go back and forth because I need the calcium from milk and eggs can be hard to avoid.  When it's just the meat part, it's a lot easier.  I also do love me some CHEESE!
1_Wizard
I hear that! I also love cheese! I know that veganism is quite hard. So why don't you just stick to being a vegetarian then? If it is about animals, you can just object from eating meat out of respect for sentient life. Is it deeper than just animals?
