I donāt agree with this sentiment. At least for me I really do not see any real cost associated with being vegan that would keep me from earning more or being a better person in any meaningful way.
For example, I am pretty sure I wouldnāt work more if I ate more meat, why would I? There really doesnāt seem to be a causal pathway here. Maybe if you really crave beef and you canāt help yourself thinking about this all the timeā¦ yeah, that could be distracting and reduce your performance but I am not sure that something like this occurs all that often. Never happened to me at least.
I would argue itās actually quite the opposite. Being vegan is normally quite a healthy lifestyle that has positive effects on health all around. Donāt underestimate the impact of having to live with the cognitive dissonance of being directly responsible for the unnecessary suffering of harmless animals.
But I guess there are different preferences and maybe you see things differently. I just wanted to flag that you are not really presenting knock down arguments here. To me it seems more like a self-justificatory move to somehow āabsolveā you from doing the right thing.
