I've got no counterpoint, but I had the same realization, and it has made me question not being vegan. I'm like 80% without trying, but also replacing eggs and cheese is difficult

Fuck vegan absolutists, the fact that you're trying is enough

I am firmly of the belief that most of the issues in the meat/dairy industry would be resolved if everyone simply consumed less of them as opposed to becoming vegan. That's how I live my life and I've gotten praises from doctors and nutrition specialists about my diet. Exercise is another thing tho....

Animals would still be getting exploited and killed tho

Is animals getting killed for food an issue in essence?

Yes, needless killing is bad.
