In a sense, a lot of ethics are arbitrary decisions. If somebody wants to make a seemingly arbitrary decision to exclude some life forms from his or her diet on the basis of perceived suffering, who are you to tell them they can't do this? This is the crux of the vegan argument, which you have yet to demonstrate you understand.

None that I can think of. And if you base your ethics on arbitrary decisions, then I think you have some problems.

No it seems that you are the one who doesn't understand. You can decide that you will only eat marshmallows and dirt, but I can reasonably consider you as a person who bases their dietary decisions on arbitrary bullshit. If you admit that the basis of veganism is arbitrary, then I think that it serves no one, and no thing, but yourself. |

It doesn't serve the animals I'm not eating?
Ideology is nothing. How you live your life is everything.
