re: Is going vegan the only ethical option?

I don't think I could find enough vegan foods that I like. A meal isn't a meal to me without some sort of meat. I guess I'll die young

I thought that myself. Then a loaded a soup filled with beans and vegetables, ate it for 5 days just to see how I felt, and holy shite, joints stopped hurting, acid reflux went away, and had a ton of energy. The soup I made ended up having roughly 30g of protein and 15g of fiber per serving and was delicious. I made it spicy with peppers, added some cold pressed olive oil, and was absolutely satisfied.

I do eat fish on occasion, but man, beans/vegetables/nuts added ten years to my life at least. I'm 31 and feel 18.

ETA: for my snacks I eat fruit and/or nuts. I have never been as satisfied. I am hooked.

Going vegan doesn't mean you can't ever eat meat. You just don't eat often. I did it strictly for the health benefits, and it's actually cheaper to feed yourself with. Also doesn't hurt I lost bad weight along the way.
