While this sounds reasonable, I think your post adequately described delusion, not subjective reality.
Subjective reality will take objective reality into consideration, b/c it exists. In order to know what you want for yourself, what you want to manifest in your life (subj. reality), you will look outside yourself (objective reality) at some point.
Simply pretending other things don't exist is
not what subjective reality is about. In order to truly practice subj. reality, one embraces it all. Everything. Whether or not one agrees with it all is a moot point, b/c there is no emotional attachment to reality. "Subjective" and "objective" are really judgment calls (as they pertain to "reality"), and neither term is necessary in order to create one's own reality.
To answer the OP: Nothing is necessary. We choose what we choose simply b/c we are able to have and exercise choice. A person can give you a million and one reasons why veganism is good for him or her. It doesn't matter if it is true or not (and veganism isn't something that can honestly be proven as good or bad, that's why there is so much evidence for each side), what matters is that the person has chosen it and allows that choice to influence other choices in his or her life. I would say that veganism is a symptom of a much larger issue(and I don't mean anything negative by that). It may be a jumping off point for other things, but in and of itself...it is of no consequence.
