Nope. It took a while, but my diet has become vegan while barely exerting willpower.

I suppose I am a herald of the end-times. The days that a vegan diet can be used to demarcate a subculture built around self-deprivation are numbered. As vegan products get better and animal products get fairly priced, more and more mainstream people will be vegan while being foreign to your ways.

You stand at a crossroads. Do you embrace them in their reduction in harm to animals, do you resent their ease and question their commitment because of it, or do you move off into some kind of hyperveganism which is even more challenging?

Personally this last one seems like a good fit for y’all. Maybe, when the time comes, you could migrate the subculture to require only eating food grown in an enclosed sterile environment, so no animals are killed tilling the soil for soybeans and wheat, and so you don’t eat millions of nematodes and water bears and other microbial animals when you eat a raw salad leaf?

That’s up to you and your conscience, though.
