I stopped eating meat entirely about a month ago, but had been phasing it out and wrestling with my beliefs for over a year. Recently I’ve been really struggling with talking to my family about food. I know they are good people, and I think they would feel the same as me if they could get past their cognitive dissonance, but seeing the people who taught me to treat all creatures with dignity and respect not respect those creatures enough not to slaughter them has been upsetting. My family has always been very supportive and they have very similar political beliefs as me, so I’ve never had to handle this feeling of loving someone but being horrified by their actions. How do you guys deal with it?
