I am not vegan but I do eat mostly plant based meals. Like you, I don't see an issue eating certain foods. I don't want to lock myself into a corner without the freedom to choose. Also, I am one of those cheese eaters, lol.
I do eventually would like to become vegan but it is a process and I will take it one day at a time.
