Benjamin Palmer: 1 Year Out - Quitting Veganism
Life feeds off of life.
I felt that to remove myself from this cycle was almost more unnatural than the “natural diet” I thought I was trying to follow. I had been internally struggling with the animal abolitionist approach for a while, and it wasn’t resonating as strongly with me anymore; the idea that any animal usage is categorically wrong looks good on paper, but it doesn’t function too well taken out of the hypothetical and put into the context of the real world or my cognition.
How I stand now is that I recognize and respect the sentience of animals; at the same time I recognize and respect death and slaughter as part of life.
