Become vegetarian
As Mike says, no half measures ;)
But in seriousness, going some/most of the way there is better than not at all. And most people transition over time rather over night too anyway. Every small step helps when it comes to the environment, personal health and ethics in my opinion.
Mike has clearly never had some rasmalai.
And then become vegan.
Step one. Stop taking medicine, as lots of pills use lactose and all the vaccines are tested using horseshoe crab blood and are tested on animals.
Huh. Didn’t know lots of pills have lactose in them. I’d think I would have noticed, seeing as I’m lactose intolerant. But I guess they’re in such small amounts per pill to not notice?

One step ahead of you.
Edit: You really think this is a gotcha, eh? Given that you've posted the same thing at least six times?
There's the rub. One mans practicable is another mans impossible. So it just becomes people judging other people's choices without any real understanding of their circumstances.
It's literally baked into the quote that that's not the idea. I really don't see how you've arrived at that conclusion and I suspect you're just trying to finagle a counterpoint.
No I don't. Am merely pointing out everyone depends on it to a degree and that doesn't give people right to call them names. This is why people roll their eyes whenever someone blurts out they are a vegan. Do whatever you want to do, but you are no better than the rest. Perhaps you care more or are trying more to be less dependent on animal products, but you are still dependent.
Yeah? But the key is to become less dependant like you stated, which is what veganism aims to do. It is impossible at this current time to be independnat of them, but each passing year we do become less so.
Which am completely fine with. Am just annoyed when someone comes and calls me a murderer or animal abuser when they themselves depend on the very same thing.
Nobody did that, yet you chose to comment that annoying shit take anyway.
You are as irritating as you claim those vegans are.
Yeah, they did. Thread just grew enough, and people changed their comments.
Alright if you want to go that way, there was a legend of a Buddhist monk who let a hungry tiger eat him, if you really want to go all out just lay on the ground and let the earth take you.
