I very much hear you on this. That's actually another thing that helps me. If I watch videos and read articles about the ethics of using/eating animals in the way that our society usually does so, it puts these important issues in the front of my mind. And the longer I go without taking into my body something that doesn't feel right to me, the more wonderfully foreign it feels to me. So much of going veg is "unlearning" what we've been indoctrinated into within our society.
