Vegetarian here. I like Beyond products, such as their chorizo, and eat them all the time. I don’t eat animals not because I’m trying to “eat healthy”, but because I’m trying to opt out participating in a system that is brutally cruel to sentient beings.

I'm in a similar boat and have to give up cheese since it's part of the chain. It's a bummer, I'm pretty addicted to it, and plant-based cheese is just nothing compared to a good young cheese

I tell myself that in the long-term the pros outweigh the con, if you value being on the right side of morality

Unfortunately by still eating dairy and eggs, you are participating in that system.

		Who says they eat dairy and eggs? “Vegetarian” isn’t such a simplistic label like that. It doesn’t mean “I eat exactly these things”. For all we know, they eat only eggs and from a local farm (or have their own chickens). Furthermore, it’s a bad argument to imply vastly reduced complicity with a system is the same as full complicity.
