Reply to comment by flabberghaster in I should go back to being vegetarian again by flabberghaster

This reads like an attempt at deflection by self-deprecation to me, so I'll say that we all have a duty to uphold justice in every aspect of our lives. We may be fallible by nature, but that doesn't excuse us from trying to be better. I doubt you really think of yourself as a bad person, but in case you do - what are you doing to be better? Shrugging your shoulders and saying "well, I guess I'm not a good person then" doesn't absolve you.

Forgive my bluntness, but the animals are suffering and dying on an unimaginable scale. Going vegan isn't a "personal choice" - it's a moral necessity.

No, not self deprecating. Most people just aren't that good of people.

I just need to be realistic. I've tried doing it before and it never sticks. It works better and is easier to stick with if I move to it over time, because I know myself and I know that I will just slip later on and drop it altogether in the future if I don't.
