Thanks for tackling these fundamentally disingenuous "arguments" against veganism. They drive me crazy!!

Dunning-Kruger effect. They think they've ingeniously come up with an argument that devastates veganism. Cue the eye rolls.

The first reason I'm vegan is for my health. The second reason is just like you said: "being vegan is knowing that my behavior is consistent with my values. " That is so important to me.

Ditto, Donna. Thanks for sharing that. See you in Croatia! :)

Jon and I were talking about this yesterday as someone at his work brought this up (most likely not in a curious, generous manner). My first statement was “I bet Colleen has something about this!”… and here it is. Will send along for their reading pleasure!
