So I wonder if it makes sense to choose to live vegan if you also believe in a subjective reality?
Anyone feel free to share your thoughts, I am eager to learn about them.

I disagree with you entirely based on the premise that the body as an organism is not separate from the mind, and therefore one's diet does affect their 'reality'.
We know that eating a balanced diet requires an array of food.
Choosing not to eat meat, based on your bodies physiology, creates certain affects within your body.
You are an organism, changing what you eat will change the way you feel.
I believe there is no mind and body divide here, and I think there is objective validity to changing your diet.
Personally I've noticed the changes when dropping all meat except fish from my diet. I also began to stuff veggies in my stomach (hungry!) and way more whole grains (long grained rice). I quit drinking all caffeine and anything carbonated (no soda). I don't eat treats (simple sugar) during the day.
Now I have more
focused energy than I ever could've imagined.
So I think your whole thread is bullshit. Sorry. Please let me know what you think.
