I’ve just stopped elaborating anymore, it takes too much energy. When someone asks why are you a vegan, what about X, I just say “many reasons.”, “its working out so far”.
I’ve found it I say the usual “don’t like killing animals or the climate” I get pushback but if I just tell them I have gout, they back off. They even ask if I’ve had a flair up and get all doughy-eyed when I say I haven’t had one in 2 years lol. Idk why it’s a surprise when I cut out one of the big 2 major culprits for flair-ups completely and drastically cut out my beer intake which is the other culprit but whatever, they seem to like the answer.
