> Personally, I don't understand how vegetarians justify it as being much different in terms of animal cruelty. You're still paying into a system that's killing animals for your benefit.
I've been vegan for years and I wish people wouldn't take this position publicly.
I agree with you, but it's more effective to have lots of people consuming fewer animal products than a few people cutting out animal products "100%". (Of course it's never 100%, that'd be impossible unless you left society.)
Let's be optimistic about the amount of change that normal people can do instead of chastising allies for not doing enough.
