Conclusion

I feel like this blog needs a quick wrap up post-


I don't think I will continue with my veganism after this project- I will try to reduce the amount of dairy I eat, but I won't cut it out entirely. I wrestled with putting my desires before animals' quality of life earlier in this blog, and have come to the realization that it is a non-paradigmatic moral problem, because I am disconnected from the wronged party spatially, I am not doing intentional harm, and it is a collective harm (all of us who eat dairy are contributing to the harm). Thus, I have an easier time not facing the moral questions involved.


I want to finish up with a quick summary of what I learned over the course of our lived ethics project.

1. veganism is really hard, unless you give up trying to have a balanced diet
2. oreos, pop tarts, tater tots, and french fries are all vegan
3. the food industry is very non-helpfull when you are trying to figure out where stuff comes from
4. biking is awesome, but it can make your parents worried.

Happy Summer, Everyone!
