I think it is sorta well-known that the meat industry is doing evil practices, but we just sorta unfortunately roll with it, because it would require to majorly change our lifestyle, most likely not being able to use like 50-70% of family recipes, opting for noticeably pricier free range type of meats, or growing their own chickens (with today's property sizes, it's pretty challenging) etc.
That also includes me too, I was enjoying homemade chickens for a long time, but that have came to a halt. I will definitely try out a 1 month vegetarian challenge, but I don't it would be feasible for me for the rest of my life.
I hope others will be mightier and stronger than I am tho. You are doing noble things, dear vegans and vegetarians.
I'm glad you'll try to stop eating animal products ๐
that said, any time there is systematic injustice, of course the oppressors will have to make "major lifestyle changes" to stop oppressing. That's the whole point, the oppression needs to end
Look I believe in you and remember goodness isn't a place you reach it's a path you walk. If you stray a little that's no reason to stop trying. Everyone has bad days when we don't behave to standards that we want to, the important thing is that we keep trying and do better next time.
Just follow your heart and don't give up :)
