I very much don't want to have to kill animals for food but meat is such an unreplaceable source of easily digestible nutrients. I've been looking at communities like /r/exvegans and /r/stopeatingseedoils and... They're pretty convincing...

And I'm hungry all the time and my poops are never solid and I get tired sooner than I think I should... But I also never get sick...

I'm tempted to just listen to the drugs on this one, like I didn't choose to be a carnivorous monkey. Hmmmm. I've been craving a steak so badly. Ugh. Urgh.

How do you feel about bivalves like clams? While there is some evidence they respond to noxious stimuli they don't possess a brain and just have a centralized nervous system.

Clam is merely a meat plant I've been saying this for years

Just saying if you feel like you could use the protein, micro nutrients while still concerned about animal welfare it's a good compromise to maybe have fettucine vongole a couple times a month. Also maybe lay off the Robotussin, it can have some serious health consequences if you abuse it.
