Veganism

Advantages
- more ethical
- healthier

Disadvantages
- less practical
- YUMMY EGGS AND CHEESE ZOMG

More ethical: egg and milk production are linked to rough treatment for animals, including the disposal of male chicks and male calves. This can be partly ameliorated by buying organic dairy produce and RSPCA-approved eggs, but never totally.

Healthier: Cutting out eggs and dairy would mean lowering the saturated fat in my diet (although again this can be partly ameliorated with low-fat cheese). Plus I'm lactose intolerant and have to take enzymes whenever I eat dairy. Compensating for protein and B12 is no problem.

Less practical: the first stage of changing your diet is just awareness. omg I didn't realise how much I was relying on eggs and dairy. Even Sanitarium's fake bacon contains whey protein. The available soy cheeses do not impress me. Takeaway food is a huge problem.

YUMMY EGGS AND CHEESE ZOMG: zomg!

In conclusion: if I try to be a strict vegan, I will utterly fail. Better to continue slouching in that direction.
