Seems like you're describing both sides of this argument.
People who went vegan after decades of eating meat already did the self reflection part.
Not the ones who make comments like this.
Nah, I make comments like that and I only went vegan at 28 and after having thought about animal ethics and my consumption behavior. It really does seem like you are saying these things to make yourself feel better.
And that's what gave you a superiority complex? It doesn't sound like your self reflection was very beneficial.
See, it's that knee-jerk accusation that makes people think you are acting this way to not have to actually think about it ๐คท
Right. I haven't made the same choices as you, so I obviously haven't reached the next stage of human evolution like a superior individual such as yourself.
