Can you make a sound, MORAL/ETHICAL argument for NOT being Vegan?
Even if you think you would or could never be a vegan...can you make an ethical argument against the idea that anyone who has the means to be vegan SHOULD be vegan?

Yes I tried being vegetarian and began to suffer dizzy fits. When I started eating meat again they stopped. That told me that my body was lacking nutrients it desperately needed that it could only get from eating meat. This was enough reason for me to stay a meat eater.
Well that might just mean you needed to educate yourself a little better on how to get what you need from a vegetarian diet. I mean, if you're still getting protein and other vitamins from animal biproducts then i'm kind of surprised that you were having such trouble just eating vegetarian. Veganism is a lot harder but vegetarian is pretty easy.
That said, if you genuinely find that your body can't handle not eating meat then there is no moral onus on you to cut it out of your life entirely...but you can certainly choose to [i]reduce[/i] your consumption.
@Pikachu I have I do eat vegetarian food just not every day. Also it is a common thing for vegetarians/ vegans to eat soya I can't have it because it's a known trigger for bladder pain syndrome which I have.
Hey, you don't have to justify to me any health issues you have. Veganism just means you seek to reduce suffering wherever possible which it sounds like you are attempting to do by eating vegetarian at least some of the time.
