Eating plant based has 3 benefits:
1- Health: Vegans live longer because of fewer animal product-related health problems
2- The Earth: Animal agriculture contributes to deforestation and puts a much greater strain on natural resources, contributing to climate change
3- Animal suffering: Animal agriculture causes significant cruelty to all kinds of animals and eating little or no animal products obviously reduces the demand, which indirectly helps in reducing this
It’s not a belief, just the way gravity or the spherical shape of the earth isn’t a belief.

@SW-User It takes a lot, but the rewards are worth the effort. Maybe it’s just me, but cutting down on meat made me respect life as a whole, a bit more. I also felt more peaceful and less aggressive, like my ego was cut in half
