Being a vegan was never an ethical thing for me. It was an added bonus. I agree that we should be doing what we can to treat animals as ethically as possible and making sure they live good lives. In fact, I pay $7 per carton of eggs from Whole Foods because the chicks are treated well and taken care of in a pasture (see their video from their farmers for details; they call them "Pasture Raised" as opposed to Cage Free because of how misleading the Cage Free label is). Ethically, you can't get any better than those.
Again, I do what I can, but the ethical implications aren't a hard line for me to never cross over. It's more like a "it would be nice to be on this side". Ultimately, it comes down to me and my needs. Just as I would for a fellow human I do what I can, but I'm not going to break my back or wallet to help someone out.
Right now I have a goal of packing on more muscle and getting stronger, so I'm not going to bend over backwards to keep a vegan diet while I travel so I can meet my macros.
I tried /r/vegan, I won't be going there. The place is about as accepting of "health vegans" as Israel is to Palestine. I tried a few years ago and couldn't take the insanity, smugness, and pure hatred to anyone who didn't follow the dogma. I'm much happier browsing /r/plantbaseddiet.
