Iām (bival)vegan and basically endorse all of this (so strong upvote).
I happen to find the idea of eating animal products uncomfortable/āupsetting, feel that way when I order food (or someone else does so on my behalf) and it comes non-vegan, and am already managing my diet well with little inconvenience and Iād guess no real loss in productivity, so there isnāt much reason for me to start eating animal products again. But itās less clearly worth it to pay the initial and possibly ongoing costs of going (almost) all the way vegan. āDisgustā is too strong, though.
Iām not sure I would give up my reactions of discomfort/āupset, though, in case theyāre an important source of ethical motivation for me. I generally find guilt/āshame more important for motivating big life changes. However, itās also possible guilt/āshame cause me to give too much weight to the short term relative to the far future.
