>So you literally think that whatever society has agreed on at this point in time is ethical.
I'm pretty sure that's what ethical means, yeah.
>Clearly I don't need to win you over, I just need to win over the people around you.
Yeah, and we both know that isn't going to happen.
>I am trying, but [it's a lost cause]
Yeah, I know. People like meat too much.
My honest recommendation is to give up on creating vegans, because if someone feels like you're attacking their lifestyle, they won't be receptive, instead try to encourage them to look for cruelty-free alternatives, cite better quality food for example. Once they start learning about all of the stuff the meat industry does, if they're the type of person that would be willing to become vegan, they probably will (with or without a little pestering).
This approach benefits both meat eaters, and you crazy vegans. Animals get treated better (which I'm sure you'd appreciate), resulting in better quality meat, and people get educated (because you know, they won't get all defensive if you just approach it more tactfully) resulting in more vegans.
