    For me, it wasn’t a global event, but a personal one. I had a conversation on reddit with a Texan piano teacher who had the fantasy of murdering and eating people. Her view was that if it was OK to kill any sentient beings, as there was no legitimate reason to draw a line between farmed animals and people. She argued her point well, and I couldn’t come up with a counterargument that didn’t also imply we shouldn’t eat animals.

    It was a bizzare conversation, but it made me really reconsider my personal morals, and totally changed the path of my life.
