I can't make much sense of your statement. I am flexitarian with a strong leaning towards vegetarian (meat is a rare exception) and a convenient leaning towards veganism (I love cheese, sowwy). But the reason I avoid animal products is because if I can enjoy good food without animals being hurt, then I will prefer that to eating animal products, for which animals get hurt. That's a very easy decision and doesn't involve nor require consent of any kind.
It's fine if you don't make much sense of it. It surely wasn't easy to put in words, so maybe I screwed it up. I'm a person who happens to eat a similar diet than yours. And yeah, I'd prefer food with minimal suffering of animals, if I get to choose. I frequently don't get to choose, reality does that to many of us.
fair enough. Eating animals is definitely "natural", but humans have evolved to a point where we can live vegetarian / vegan without suffering malnutrition, and since we have both the least empathetic as well as the most empathetic living beings among our species, there's a good argument to be made for eating vegetarian / vegan when given the option.
