no. the attitude that is not useful is to make up arguments to justify our choices.
we know the fact. we choose to act on them or not. and this is the same for a lot more topics than veganism.
don't return the responsibility on the people who act to diminish suffering and waste of ressources. vegetarians like carnists contribute to keep the status quo. it's not debatable.
you choose to live how you want - within the limit of the law - and it's totally ok. but own your choices, you don't need to justify them.
we all are full of contradiction, and it's more than ok. but don't make up stuff to make them ok. just accept them.
