Having actions and morals aligned gives a sort of mental peace I've never experienced before

Same here. It also makes you more aware and sensitive to animal suffering. So it can be a double edged sword.

I have used soy, almond, and coconut milk to make tea or coffee. I haven't really found a good alternative to cheese. Most of the vegan cheese and butter alternatives tend to be processed. I think I just have to live without them. 🥲

Til: carnist is one who supports eating meat and animal products.

So carnivore diet followers are a subset of carnists. Thank you for correcting me.

Makes sense. The more I think about it, it's a contrived example to make meat eating look better. Why don't you compare with someone who forages and eats plants from a forest?

The meat industry pays a lot of money to create doubt. Like the studies about saturated fat and red meat that say harm caused by them is "inconclusive".

Ikr. Potato chips, sugary treats, alcohol etc are technically vegan but they will ruin your health.

You have to eat healthy like dr Greger's daily dozen on a vegan diet too.
