The whole taste argument completely ignores nutrition.

Why don’t you only eat potatoes? Do you derive taste pleasure from B12 supplements?

Attaching a system of morality to a diet is just religion.

I maintain that veganism is just halal/kosher for atheists/agnostics.

The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. Your moral perspective demands that you deny or ignore these facts. If you can deny that an animal's experience has any value, you can do the same to a human.

values are subjective

Okay? So?

Being cruel and violent to innocent creatures requires that you learn to suspend your empathy. Being cruel and violent to innocent creatures EVERY SINGLE DAY requires that you main your empathy, to actually injure yourself and impair your ability to be empathetic AT ALL.

To respond to your apparent non sequitur, I value compassion and empathy. Don't you?
