Why aren't you vegan? (vegantheoryclub.org)

If you're at all aware of what goes in farming in Australia you know it's a massive horror show. From chicken macerators to pig gas chambers animals suffer massively to end up on your plate.

Every Australian I've ever spoken to describes themselves as loving animals, and is horrified at things such as whaling. Most of us even find activities like puppy milling or hunting upsetting.

In light of this; and the knowledge that a few decades ago whaling was a-ok, monkeys didn't matter, and elephants certainly didn't feel pain; what makes you confident that what you were raised to consider beneath consideration actually is?

Eating animals is neither necessary nor nice, so why do it?

Because a fully vegan/vego diet is not trivially accessible for me. I rarely prepare meals at home, and eat out/order in a lot, and the effort of moving to a fully vegan/vego diet would be non trivial.

A vegetarian diet is something I would quite happily adopt if it was more readily available, but it's not trivial, and it's not a high enough priority issue for me to be able to sustain a non trivial solution over the long term
