Step 5
The Conclusion
Don't tell me you ended up here 😭
If you are reading this, you made it through my entire logical breakdown without finding a single flaw for me, which means you are absolutely no help to me!
I spent months trying to find a logical loophole so I could go back to eating whatever I wanted but couldn’t find one.
One Loophole 👀
There is one loophole though! All I have to do is abandon my core values, decide my temporary pleasure outweighs an animal’s suffering, and ignore what logic clearly tells me makes the world a better place.
I just can’t bring myself to do that, so I am a little stuck.
For me to remain logically consistent with my actual values, the absolute minimum requirement I believe is to live a plant-based life.
The 99% Reality
If you know me you know I am not 100% perfect!
I still occasionally fall back on vegetarian options when traveling or in tricky social situations. I am not a perfect vegan, and I don’t claim to be. But I am striving to align my actions with my logic a little more every single day (and always appreciate my friends and family supporting my beliefs)
So, what now?
Since you didn’t find a flaw in the logic, I am stuck.
Please go away, do some more research, and come back! Surely there is a biological or ethical flaw that hasn’t been uncovered yet. I would love to be able to eat meat again, but I literally cannot do it with a clear conscience.
