It’s actually not hard to change. It’s hard to be vegan – and you can’t make it stop. Carnists are carnists because it provides them with psychological defense mechanism against the intolerable pain and suffering we witness every day. They are able to pretend it just doesn’t exist, they don’t experience it at all. Meanwhile vegans are forced to experience it every time we turn on the TV, go to the store, visit a friend. It’s actually very easy to become vegan, you just have to have one goddamn moment of honesty, clarity and empathy. After that, it gets hard, but you’re stuck with it.
Nah, I wouldn’t add that one. That’s actually honest. It’s hard to change and probably the thing that actually keeps most people from going vegan.
