Ethiopian veggies are great but yebeg wot is on a different level.
There’s tasty vegan food for sure hut there’s usually a slightly tastier horrifically unethical alternative.
I agree with op, I think vegans are right, I basically support them but ain’t converting. Realizing they were right on food made me a lot less angry that other people don’t feel the same way I do about sweatshop clothes and they, like me are doing their best. Some prioritise animals in tortorous conditions, others prioritise kids in poor ones, others look after drug addled first worlders, everyone’s got their own moral priorities.
It’s true we’ve only each got like enough moral bandwidth to champion X number of causes it seems. I still view my goal as doing to most with my capacity though, even if I fall short on most.
Nobody can force you, all I can really hope for is that you try different vegan food and at least give a shit enough to eat less animals.
None of us can be perfect, but we also need to be able to care about multiple causes, and not eating animals is a very easy and tasty one. I care about sweatshop clothes, I care about slave labor in the supply chain for lithium ion batteries, and the genocide in Gaza. I can choose who to vote for and who to shop with and what to eat based on all those goals.
