CosmicSkeptic Post

Hi everyone. Recently I have noticed people wondering why I’ve been so inactive, and wondering why I have not uploaded any veganism-related content. For quite some time I have been re-evaluating my ethical position on eating animals, which is something people have also noticed, but what you will not know is that I had also been struggling privately to maintain a healthy plant-based diet.
I wanted to let you know that because of this, I have for some time now been consuming animal products again (primarily but not exclusively seafood), and experimenting with how best to integrate them into my life.
I am interested in philosophy, and never enjoy sharing personal information about myself, but I can obviously see why this particular update is both necessary and relevant. It’s not my intention to go into too much detail here, as I think that will require more space and perhaps a video, but rather to let you know, with more details to follow later.
My opposition to factory farming remains unchanged, as do my views regarding the need to view nonhuman animals as morally worthy beings whose interests ethically matter. However I am no longer convinced of the appropriateness of an individual-focused boycott in responding to these problems, and am increasingly doubtful of the practicability of maintaining a healthy plant-based diet in the long-term (again, for reasons I hope to go into in more detail at a later date).
At the very least, even if I am way off-base and totally mistaken in my assessments, I do not wish to see people consuming a diet on my account if I have been unable to keep up that diet myself. Even if I am making a mistake, in other words, I want it to be known that I have made it.
I imagine that the responses to this will vary, and I understand why this might come as a huge disappointment to some of my followers. I am truly sorry for having so rigorously and at times perhaps too unforgivingly advocated for a behaviour change that I myself have not been able to maintain.
I’ve changed my mind and behaviours publicly on a great many things before, but this feels the most difficult to address by a large margin. I did not want to speak about it until I was sure that I couldn’t make it practically work. Some of you will not care, some may understand; some will be angry, and others upset. Naturally, this is a quite embarrassing and humbling moment, so I also understand and accept that there will be some “I-told-you-sos”.
Whatever the case, please know that this experience has inspired a deep self-reflection and that I will be duly careful in future regarding the forthrightness of my convictions. I am especially sorry to those who are now vegan activists on account of my content, and hope that they know I will still effort with you to bring about the end of factory farming. To them and to everyone else, I appreciate your viewership and engagement always, as well as your feedback and criticisms.
