I wonder how much we can trust people’s given reasons for having been veg? For example, say people sometimes go veg both for health reasons and because they also care about animals. I could imagine something where if you asked them while they were still veg they would say “mostly because I care about animals” but then if you ask them after you get more “I was doing it for health reasons” because talking about how you used to do it for the animals makes you sound selfish?
