The reason I advocate strongly for veganism is because it took me too long to become a vegan. I didn't do it until I was in my 30s and so I have participated in so much harm that now, I want to help others not experience my regret and to become vegan as soon as possible.
I know that consuming animals is normalized and entrenched in societies around the world. But many of the people doing it don't understand the scale of the harm. They don't know that its BILLIONS of animals a day. They don't know that its destroying the rainforest and is completely unsustainable. They don't know that the runoff from CAFOs is polluting the land and water. They're told pacifying lies about cagefree, grass fed, supposedly humane practices, by a billion dollar industry. They don't realize "humane" doesn't scale. People dont know that more than 90% of meat that feeds people is from CAFOs not small family operations. They don't realize how intelligent and sentient animals are. They don't realize that diets can be healthy and flavorful without animal products. They don't know about live transport practices. They don't realize how much good they can do by simply getting a plant milk or plant cheese instead of one from dairy or a mock meat instead of flesh. They don't realize we'd use far less land allowing for more forests and more places for people to live. They don't realize we'd also free many exploited agricultural laborers from brutal and backbreaking work.
I just want people to know the facts. I can't force people to care but I can make sure they know what choice they're making.
Alright here I am, I'll take your bait.
