I'm not choosing it because it's harmful, and if you keep objectivity you can see how it's unfair to judge so harshly on preference alone.

I could think up some selfless reasons but the fact remains I shouldn't have to. I shouldn't need to justify a freedom to have it. You should understand the ability to choose is worth defending in itself, even if you wouldn't make the same choice.

Selfish is dictating your preference is the only acceptable one.

There doesn't have to be. This is what I mean, preference is what matters, since even the facts mattering is a matter of preference.

If vegans could be catered to simply because of their feelings, like they were for the longest time and will be until the great greenhouse benefit kicks in, I should be as well, no practical benefit required.

Oh, because I prefer meat from a slain animal. That's it really.

Objectively speaking it's no less valid than wanting meat from a fake animal. It's a distant, intangible, subjectively moral, but I bet as soon as the vegans have the high ground they'll pull up the ladder and demand better reasons than the same ones they've been using the entire time.
