I admittedly feel better eating fish (mostly bivalves) and eggs / occasional goat dairy product. I would go back to veganism if I could promise myself to do it properly. I just hate though how this would be seen as a traitor move to be going through times in my life where Iet myself have animal products every now and then. They really expect you to do it for years and years on end, as if its easy.

This is solely anecdotal, but I feel like my head is less foggy after eating fish. I used to stand up and feel a rush in my head and my vision would get all black and grainy. After 2 months of occasional animal products, this has gone away. I don't understand why vegans don't have a sympathetic view to those who decide to occasionally incorporate animals products for health reasons.

They have hawk eyes on celebrities who go vegan and automatically dog on them the second they eat an animal product again even if its just for an occasion. Iirc didnt grimes (or some other musician) go vegan for a long time but annually she would let herself have some ben and Jerry's icecream and that drove vegans crazy? In the late 2010s, i have no idea if I even remember it correctly but I thought it to be quite culty to be mad at someone for an annual splurge, idk.

Its like I agree with the premise that we should reduce animal.products from CAFOs and be wary of overfishing/the general environmental and ethical impact of allof this! But god, no one is perfect. Every persons optimal diet is different too. Some people absorb nutrition from plants just fine for example, others not so much. I should read more about this because bioavailability is a topic that has always interested me. Anyways...

I feel like a foreigner at times lawl. Too moralistic and preachy for the omni normies for thinking we should reduce our consumption of animal products, but also too selfish and "carnist" for the vegans for thinking most humans thrive best on at least occasional animal-product consume and that looking out for your own health trumps all. Anyone else feel the same. Or wanna share ur thoughts at least? If you disagree thats okay im down to hear all thoughts.
