Part of being vegan for me was always the acceptance that it was somehow spiritually beneficial–for me and the world. I think it may very well still be, but I no longer believe it is better than other ways to be spiritual. More than any other aspect of leaving las vegan, coming to terms with the fact that I no longer believed in the immorality of a non-vegan life was the part that knocked about my brain–and it continues to.
It’s not that I think that my ‘new’ belief is wrong–it’s that one day I realized I had switched to it and I had to catch the rest of me, including my actions, up with it.
