Thanks for this comment! It resonated with me.

I had somewhat of existential crisis after watching "Cowspiracy" and immediately gave up all meat for a few years for what I anxiously decided was for ethical and environmental reasons.

I did it because I felt guilty, then I watched more documentaries like it and made myself feel more responsible and guilty for everything.

One day I just "woke up" and started eating some fish and chicken. It felt good, not at all because I ate animals (I don't love the ethics of this), but because I no longer felt guilty for eating food.

There are some behaviors and activities I think as individuals we should maybe feel guilty for being involved in, but I don't like the way people are made to feel guilty for just doing the basics.

Totally agree with you. I'm not a vegan. Here is what I would like people to feel guilty about to start with: Waste food in general, in particular meat. Waste water. Waste electricity. Waste gas.

If you throw out a pound of beef because you didn't get around to cooking it in time, I want people to have gut wrenching feeling in their stomach when that pound drops into your trash bin. Getting to that place will save more pollution than 100 times what the military produces.
