Thanks for putting together a really high quality post. As a vegan myself, I understand the points that you make, Though I admit, what seems very obvious to me now, was very difficult to see back when I was a full meat eater.
I have shared your post to my newly created Facebook page 'Best of Steem by Spectrum Economics'
Thanks for the share! I feel you there, I used to give vegans a hard time "because bacon tastes good!" Of course, back in those days I was a moral relativist (as American culture teaches people to be), so it's not surprising that I had the dietary ideas of a sociopath.
