I'm not going to lie, the last point was very confusing. I'm not even going to pretend to understand it. I mean it sounds scary, but I don't have any issues with my colon. If I did, then you would have an excellent point. I mean you could be 100% right, but now all I'm thinking about is am I going to be really sick, when five minutes ago I was perfectly healthy.

I agree with doing as little harm as possible, but I shouldn't have to sacrifice anything to make sure other animals survive. It should be about looking after number one. Then once you know you are OK then you can look at helping - or in this case saving - those around you.

For me this is about two things; seeing how my body reacts to not eating meat etc... and reducing the amount of cruelty to animals. If I go vegan tomorrow, then the reduction will be literally zero. The huge influx of animals being brought to slaughter will not go down because I've decided to stop eating pork, but if more and more people go vegan for a month every year, then that ripple can have a significant effect on meat consumption worldwide, and in turn less animals being farmed in terrible conditions.

Sorry if this message sounds a bit blunt. I read it back before I pressed post and I would completely understand if you thought I was being rude. I didn't mean for the message to come across that way. You seem really really supportive and I thank you for it!
