I agree. I was vegetarian for 3-4 years and realized that if I was doing it for the animals, I couldn’t keep consuming eggs and dairy, or any other animal product for that matter. Been a vegan for more than 10 years now
Ye man I could infer that from your earlier comment :D
Just a tip: I agree with everything you say, but if our goal is to change peoples’ behavior, it is detrimental to call the hypocrites (and similar adjectives). That creates cognitive dissonance, and people usually double-down on their old behavior when faced with cognitive dissonance instead of changing their behavior. What I’ve found works best to make people go vegan is instead of calling them out on their behavior, show them positive examples of veganism, and let them do the math.

got a few years on me, but I’m vegan too. Probably for about 4-5 years

This is true. I was probably a bit rash calling them hypocrites. it just makes me so angry.
