Go vegan, better health, compassion over unnecessary killing and good for the environment, it has given me more energy and joy, and I am glad avoiding animal suffering. I was vegetarian until I realizad the cruelty beyond dairy. Go vegan and help create a better world please.
Also, I will never follow a lifestyle that adheres to some pipe-dream belief like 'bad energy is stored in the meat of tortured animals' - I hear so many people who follow ridiculous beliefs like this talk about this spiritual "energy", but they can never present a demonstrable example of what this energy is. It can't be harnessed or sensed - It simply exists as some unstable omnipresent force that they base their lives on. Get your fucking head together!
Animal rights-don't give a shit. Enviroment-don't give a shit. Health-eeehhh i guess. I'm a vegitaritain because meat is gross and had shit in in. And eggs... fuck, why would you want to eat a chicken embryo
I'm 16, I've been vegan completely for two and a half months and it's been the best decision I've made in a long time. I went from living off of meat, eggs, and dairy to grains, veggies and fruits etc, and I look and feel amazing. The people who put it down shouldn't judge things that are different unless they themselves have tried them.
@mirror0images I try to avoid some clothes, leather, etc, but really, it's a big step to change that. Just by going vegan you help out so much. I applaud all the people who can avoid animal products (besides food) completely, but it's a tough change for most.
@thelexietaylor Congratulations on your decision! It is indeed the best decision you could have ever taken :) no one knows how we feel unless they try this lifestyle.
I've been a vegetarian for about 7 years and I've been wanting to try veganism for a long time. I finally decided yesterday to give it a shot! I'm really excited :)
@laurenht I watched, and I'm a committed omnitarian (dolphins AND screaming broccoli) ... I was linked over here by a video on protein for vegans, linked-to by a video on protein for vegetarians, linked-to by a recording of a reading of a BVOV magazine article on the fact that what we eat becomes part of our bodies.
The Geico ads before this clip are NOT vegan. They parade a gecko around, forcing him to make you want to save money on car insurance in 15 minutes or less.
( no one really knows this, but do you know that he and the Aflack duck are lovers and live together right next to that bear snuggles and his lover teddy ruxpin).
... that if men didn't have these outlets they would turn to harming their wives, children, etc. instead! This aggressiveness, whether directed at non-humans or humans, is not something that we should be tolerating and accepting as part of normal "maleness". I think real men and women are ones who resist these impulses, should they find them in themselves.
The irony is when non vegan products are flagrantly advertising on vegan educational videos. In 8 years things will be very different. If every vegan out there focuses and helps just one person go vegan each year, and each vegan in turn repeats the process, we can have a vegan world in 8 years. Don't mourn, organize, mobilize, move the message. Love life, live vegan.
So animals are mean to each other when they eat their prey. Look it's called a food chain and meat provides many nutrients we need to survive. And a good steak is yummy!
@Rocketmama0206 The cow eats grass, converts it into nutrients, then man eats cow, think he is king, desease takes over, man becomes vegetarian/vegan, man survives, lives to be 100 yrs without desease and other crap, his children takes over vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, slaughterhouses will cease to exist, life has found a way. End of story.
I have recently stopped eating animal meats and I'm adapting a vegetarian lifestyle but i still eat products that come from animals such as eggs and milk, the only problem i have is the unnecessary killing of animals, i agree that we should use their products in good faith but i am having issues answering the question of what gives humans the right to kill an eat other species, clearly this was the law before, "survival of the fittest" but we are taking advantage of the fact that we're on top.
I actually become vegan every now and then because of religious fasting... I find that I get an upset stomach for the first month, but after that is ok. The only problem is... U never feel full.. u are always hungry when u dont eat meat
SO if we dont eat the cows there will be more methane gas, just saying. something to think about. your not really helping the environment. Take a look at genius 1:26-29
@bluelamppost145 I got one for the South Beach Diet. Lots of plates topped with meat, fish... I originally thought it was part of the video, but was in for a nasty surprise, haha. Stupid YouTube making us sit through ads. I wish they would keep it in a sidebar...
Veganism is not diet. After years of studying ancient Hindu non theistic religions such as the Jainist, Donald Watson coined the word Vegan. He explained that a Vegan is someone who avoids all animal exploitation, it is as simple as that.
@truth2748 hey I'm vegan and i've come to realise that the above statement is pretty much impossible, if you avoided it completely we wouldn't have the capacity to build anything as we would be exploiting animal habitats in the process, we wouldn't even be able to cultivate the soil without destroying a few creatures, nor could we have pets. I think veganism is more about mitigating on animal exploitation with an ongoing continuum of this idea as apposed to an all or nothing philosophy.
We need to Get Up and Make a Change before the meat industry change us even more into becoming someone we don't want to be. The Meat Industry have a lot of money power but
WE THE PEOPLE are the ones that made AMERICA what it is TODAY!
slavery No more ! women Can vote! and an African American President is Possible!
Animal tourchering, abusing, and suffering NO MOre! The Meat Industry dont give a shiet about you. just look at how they treat there farm animals on peta.
@yoyodindin I was vegetarian for almost 9 years, and always used to think that I would never be able to give up dairy - specifically cheese. That was my weakness. However, after watching the documentary Earthlings, I said, "never again", and I was so shook up by it that I never craved dairy. Now it's been a couple of months almost, and I'm just used to not having it. :) The smell no longer appeals to me - it smells a bit like meat and a bit sickeningly sweet. This from a former cheese lover! :)
@kimberlily1983 I hear ya, I saw the same thing, and not only was the treatment of the animals disturbing, it was just plain gross. Even in the dairy farms. I am not an activist, but I too gave up dairy products and meat after seeing that film. And I never let anyone sway my beliefs or lifestyle, but a picture is worth a thousand words.
@tejo29se i am having the same problem. Although as I still live with my parents, and they are not vegetarian I am finding it difficult to get vegan food even into my house.
@tejo29se I found that when I was vegetarian, it was hard to cut down on dairy (specifically, cheese). I'd try to limit myself to small amounts, but then I'd be overcome with temptation. Cheese is incredibly addictive.
Then I watched Earthlings, and everything changed. I decided then and there I didn't care how much I wanted it, I couldn't ever be a part of this exploitation again. We still had cheese in the fridge. I'd look at it, and this momentary blip of longing would come up...
@tejo29se ... to be almost immediately replaced by this sickening sadness and horror over what it was, where it had come from. I'd had my consciousness changed, forever.
So I'd recommend watching those kinds of docs, you guys. Sometimes knowledge of facts and statistics just isn't enough - you need to SEE it. That's what made the difference for me. I couldn't pretend I wasn't responsible for it anymore.
@kimberlily1983 I have seen Earthlings and I was chocked at how animals was treated. I wonder if the men working at these places treats their wives like that? Or close to that?
Reading the book Vegan Freak 2.0 (the updated version) by by Bob and Jenna Torres I got off milk right away, and it also helped with various links from the net.
Jonathan Safran Foers book Eating Animals also helps in the right direction.
I have ordered Skinny Bitch to help with the final bits of cravings.
@kimberlily1983 Some say Skinny Bitch is not a good book but I think it can help people with cravings for meat and eggs and milk. I read that they discribe it to detail so one gets grossed out. I think I need that. To be grossed out. I think I looove disgusting details sometimes. Skinny Bitch would be a much needed help.
@tejo29se And from what I've heard Skinny Bitch sounds like it could be a fun read. I'm not sure if it would be my sort of thing, but it sounds like something a lot of people would like, and a good introduction to veganism and animal rights issues.
As for whether animal abusers use violence towards humans, I imagine it contributes to it, yes, by eroding their capacities for sympathy and compassion. In some cases hunting has been defended as an outlet for male aggression, with the implication...
Try veganism?....You mean you will subscribe to the cult of their eco religion...I may remove all animal products from my diet...But i will never serve the vegan political movement...Their motives are almost gauranteed to restrict our rights as human beings should they be successful...Careful what you promote...
@timetodepop People can eat how they want. My mother is vegan and it has nothing to do with her political views, and she'll still make us bacon and eggs for breakfast without a problem.
@truth2748 " Vegan -n. A person who refrains from using any animal product whatever for food, clothing, or any other purpose". [World English Dictionary]. That is my mother. She is a vegan. Now I'll proceed to ignore your attempt at baiting me into a waste-of-time debate that will lead to nowhere.
@SaiKoSeSu Your mother doesn't refrain from using animal products since she cooks you bacon and eggs. She funds animal exploitation. Being vegan doesn't mean that you don't eat bacon, it means you don't buy it and you don't morally, socially support it. If she was vegan, she wouldn't accept to serve you non vegan foods because it would mean she thinks it's morally right to do so.
@casomorphins "What's the "vegan political movement?"
Some Vegans are aligned with political organizations which push for legislation concerning animals rights...They wish to erode the rights of humans to consume animals...Some are simply looking for the health benefits...and there is much evidence that Veganism can be very healthy if the diet is well balanced...PETA for example exploits that fact for its own political machine..to generate power..Over us all if allowed.
@timetodepop That is a fair comment. As a vegan, PeTA does not speak for me and I will agree in that laws and expunging rights do not progress make. Thanks for giving a reasonable and considerate reply. :)
@casomorphins "Thank you for giving a considerate reply"
And thank you for showing the world the power and strength of individuality...Individuality is what brings art, discovery, and advancement of our species to the world...Let us never forget that.
what about the poor plants feelings? As a living thing dont they deserve to live without pain? When you bite an apple does it not hurt? When we tear the skin off a bannana does it not cry? and the brutality we show coconuts ...so cruel... we should just stop eating all together. our very existance is causing pain and killing the planet!!!!!
Plants have sensors but no central nerve system; they don't experience pain. Plants experiencing pain would be pretty irrational anyway, regarding the fact, that the ability of vertain beings to feel pain has an evolutionary sense to it.
If plants could experience pain that would be no help for them since they can't run away, scream for help.
Besides that - plants (and esp. fruits) want to be eaten since that's the way they can reproduce themselves.
@Jaboof11 well while it is noted that plants have sensorary awarness they cannot percieve physical effects, consciously interpret conditions, build memories, form thoughts or have the capicity to express emotion. A plant may appear distressed in certain situations, but this is a chemical reaction due to an imbalance in their cellular system. Any pain a plant appears to feel is a result of our personification upon them. So don't worry your little head!
@Scottzer1 ... Very nice try in attempting to sound intelligent ... but the simple fact that you a vegan only goes to show that you cant be reasoned with and your not intelligent no matter how many big words you know or articles you've goggled on plant and feelings ... later pea brain
@Jaboof11 I'm a vegan but I'm also a qualified horticulturist, I studied it for four years in the Irish Botanical Gardens, I'm also a qualified Landscape Architect with a keen interest in Ecological design. Com'on you have to admit I may know a thing or two about plants.
My thery: Why should we kill the poor animals? better yet, y should we kill the poor veggies! Lets just not eat at all! i respect vegans but humans are omnivors
I don't understand, all you just have to do is excercise in moderation while eating the five main food groups, Second the world isn't a nice place, third they don't call it a slaughter house for nothing, Those factories that produce a whole lot of methane can be used as an energy alternative. Would you prefer the cow to be aspixiated instead, less brutal.
I am not vegan, I am a chef whose income relies on people eating meat! My ideas are probably not particularly welcome by the vegan community.
Disclaimer aside, People are NOT meant to eat meat, by that i mean that we are not physically impelled to, we do it because we happen to like the taste. Humans were at one point in their lives compelled to eat meat ( for whatever reason) but that time is very much in the past (for most of the western world anyway)
you can't workout and lift weights if your a vegan. I've tried not eating meat for a month and I felt like complete shit. I lost so much weight and wasn't looking too healthy.
You didnt eat a bananced vegan diet of beans, veggies, fruits, whole grains, nuts , seeds and omega 3 fats. You probably didnt plan out your food very well, thus you were weak. But oh well. Give it another try and you'll see :)
I did but for some reason my body wasn't used to that kind of diet. I can't be any thinner than I already am. the best thing I could do or anyone for that matter is to do some research and do what's best for their body. I don't eat dairy because it has a negative reaction on my skin but I feel that meat gives me energy like no other. If I stop eating meat my body's going to feel like it's missing something even though am eating "healthy". Point is not everyone's the same.
I'm not selfish? I eat meat but i still love animals?.. I just don't think they should be killing so many. I understand that back in the day killing was a necessity because of the lack of science but now we live in an advance society that allows us to be vegan or whatever you wanna be.. and yet some still don't have that choice. I just don't think veganism is for everyone.
Honey, a vegan diet can be adapted for ANYone in any kind of situation. There are even eating plans for people with Celiac's disease who can't eat grains, and for people with soy allergies and what not--you ought to look more into it.
I never said they didn't and yes I did replace my protein source. A large amount of that protein come from soy products. The point is it doesn't matter if you Vegan or Vegetarian, just do what's best for your body. I tried it and did everything right but I just didn't feel the same as when I eat meat. Meat gives me more energy than the alternative.
Yes as long as everyone's happy destroying the planet do what's right for you because that's obviously the most important thing for self-centred humans to do.
Can't you understand that not everyone's the same? Some people live certain life styles and have to eat certain foods to survive. Being vegan is a bit technical.
Wrong. Yes people have their "lifestyles", but that's not to say it can't be changed; people change all the time when they learn better, more sustainable, compassionate ways of living.
some places aren't vegan friendly. Some people don't even know what a vegan is. It's easy in this advance society but lets say you lived in the wild? There are no alternatives here and I guarantee you those plants won't keep you alive for too long. Oh btw how did the caveman survive?
you don't need a fancy spear to kill you can do it with a stick or a rock. Oh I disagree when your hungry and you need to eat you'll kill that animal with your bare hands and it it raw if you have to. I don't think you know what the human is capable of.. especially when your hungry. There's no way of knowing that "humanoids" lived on a plant based diet. nowadays is different but back then there was a lack of science and it's the only way you can be vegan.
FAO: " "50% of crops are from "3rd"world countrys and is fed to produce "our" meat. 43.000 children in this countries die because we use their crops to feed our meat".
just simply think of this children and don't waste time with your cave man theory.
to assume your figures are correct which I do not believe they are you have to include the US Corn production into your totalls, 90 % of this corn is Dent Corn which is ineatable to humans..... so there not starving becasue its not there, its just not the right kind
90% of soy production in US goes to feed livestock, 80% of corn, and 70% of all grain production. I'm not sure how much is good for human consumption, but that's besides the point: if we're producing something inedible to humans to feed to animals, then what we should be doing instead of producing something edible for us.
@section912 I'd imagine they ate meat, why are you a caveman? I'm sure there was a time when eating meat was neccessary for our survival, but now it is a choice, millions of people across the world prove this every day. I'd imagine if you lived in the wild you may have to resort to eating meat, I doubt you live in the wild as you are obviously reading this via the internet. therefore it is a choice for you too.
@Scottzer1 No I eat meat (not all meats) because am not an independent person. I don't work. I don't make any money. I can't make the choice to be a vegan. If I stop eating meat now it will be very hard to find alternatives. but who knows maybe someday. I don't mind it but you vegans have to understand that there's certain people out there that don't understand this concept of life. Some people actually live out in the wild and hunting food is a struggle to stay alive.
@section912 You make a lot of reasonable points, but I don't think any vegans expect people in the wild to go vegan. I think vegans expect people in modern day society to go vegan and you have to admit for the majority of people this is certainly a choice, maybe not in all cases but I would feel confident in saying most.
@Scottzer1 Yes I agree but unfortunately people are more concerned with other things and they just don't understand that way of life. Allot of people don't even know what vegans are. I'm hispanic and eating meat is tradition, so they find it really weird when i talk about veganism like am going crazy. I bet it's the same way in other cultures. I think everyone's an asshole and they will do whatever is best for them. For now I will do whatever it takes to stay alive.
@section912 yes people are more concerned with other things, mainly selfish things and things that are convenient like eating meat. I am Irish and eating meat is a big part of my culture too, of course people objected, people thought it was/is weird, you hear all sorts of crap from people but in the end if you know and believe it is the right thing to do, it's almost like you have no choice, you just got to do it regardless, in time people will accept your choice and you'll be proud of your self
@AquaAD The VA Tech Massacre happened exactly 5 days after the death of Slaughterhouse Five author Kurt Vonnegut. No vegans were killed in that massacre and no vegans were killed in the Columbine Cafeteria massacre. ONLY McDonalds flesh eaters were killed in the 1984 San Ysidro McDonalds Massacre. McDonalds wins the blue ribbon for animal-cruel factory farms. Randy Quaid, who used to make commercials for animal-cruel Kentucky Fried Chicken, says he fears for his life from the Hollywood Whackers.
I'm a vegan and I lift weights. I run at least 16 km a week and do a variety of other activities. There are many who are very fit and strong. Have you heard of Mac Danzig?, he is. Maybe you should have some help with your diet before assuming it doesn't work. Just because you didn't know what you were doing doesn't mean it doesn't work.Maybe some good advice on nutrition may have helped. Get your facts straight. Do you need some help learning about how to find out things?
I was basically eating the same foods I always did but instead they were alternatives. The only thing I didn't do was take vitamin supplements. Besides that I did everything I was suppose to do but I just didn't feel right about it. The sudden change felt weird and I just didn't feel good. If i can't workout the way I want then I won't continue. simple.
It's normal to feel a little different/run down for the first few weeks of cutting out animal products. It's just your body "cleaning house" and getting rid of all the toxins you have accumuluted.
But then I agree that everyone is different. You DO need to supplement B12 and Omegas, but if you're uncomfortable with going veggie/vegan all at once you don't have to do it that way; just do it gradually at a pace that is comfortable for you.
it has nothing to do with meat it's just that my body wasn't used to it and when I stopped I felt weak. yes yes I did replace my protein intake with soy, oatmeal, peanuts, almonds, wheat etc etc. I just didn't feel right and on top of that I started losing weight which isn't good. I'm hard gainer and am currently 137. maybe i needed to gain some fat before turning vegan. I dunno. All I know is that I didn't feel good and that it's not for everyone.
Well, you don't loose weight by turning vegan. You loose weight when your kcal intake is too low; and that has nothing to do with being vegan, vegetarian or omnivore - there is onthing which has more kcal than nuts.
If you want to eat vegan stuff only and gain weight, then you just have to make sure to get enough kcal. Eat certain nuts, peanut butter, pasta, avocado.
And always eat a lot of vegetables and fruits - everyday (even more important for non-vegans ;) ).
The bodybuilding world champion in the fitness class of 2006 is a vegan by the way...Alexander Dargatz. There are enough vegan (and of course even more vegetarian) bodybuilders and athletes out there...just google.
i compete in full contact martial arts in britan and alot of europe, and before a competition i usually go all proten (meat eggs fish) for a week, it hasnt done me any harm.
The bible also says "Thou shall not kill". God made meat so we had some form of matter to hold us together (if this is the case). I'm sure god doesn't want us to torture animals and have them shipped and abused in such a mass from fast food industries like they are today.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
we ate meat 100000 years ago god made meat so we could eat them, god ate meat himself so is he a muderer? if u dont belive me go read the bible, he ate meat with mozes on the top of a mountain
id rather help peaple in poor lands instead of food.
It's so hard to be a vegan. My friend was a vegan for a year and lost almost 30 pounds. She was 85 pounds and 5 foot 2. She wasn't getting the right nutrients. If you become vegan, you have to make substitutions for all the vitamins and nutrients you're missing out on.
No one said our teeth were meant for killing animals. What they said were that our teeth were meant to eat (that is, chew up) meat. Which, if you are an informed person you would agree with this. Of course, whether we evolved to eat meat or not has little to do with the rightness or wrongness of killing animals for food. It is merely evidence of how people lived for thousands upon thousands of years.
viharsarok, that's a common fallacy and simply not true. Man ate meat to survive during a time when vegetation was not available, otherwise he would have died out and not had a chance for brain development to continue. Man's brain simply continued to develop as a result of his survival not as a result of meat, as it would have on veg had it been available. If it were caused by meat, Lions and other animals whose diets are ENTIRELY meat, would have a higher brain capacity than man.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
natural is good we agree on this. but animal matter in diet is necessary. i'd like to see how far a vegan gets without any type of supplement. and yes human methane outnumbers the amount of cattle methane. just because i lion kills a zebra and eats it doesn't make it evil, its nature.
Do you really think your teeth and your digestive system were designed to eat meat? There is a lot more acid in (for instance) a lion's saliva and stomach in order to digest meat. The human digestive system is nothing compared to that. Even look at your teeth compared to a carnivore's. They have long fangs and ours are all flat
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yes we have flat teeth, molars, to much on veg, but we also have 4 canine teeth for meat. humans aren't carnivores or herbivores, we're omnivores. thats why we have both types of teeth. and also, condors have the strongest acid in the animal kingdom, it doesn't mean that the other animals can't eat meat.
canine teeth? unless you look like a vampire you have nothing close! chase an animal down ,bite off chunks of flesh,lick the blood ,maybe i might think you were made for that.you cant do that because eating raw meat might make your little tummy upset.you must cook it because you were not made to eat it.horvathsgirl...i like your words, they gave me fuel
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i hope thats vegetable oil fuel your talking about. why dont you educate yourself, open up and encyclopedia and discover that humans have canine teeth, 4 of them, 2 on top, and 2 on the bottom.
They are not "canines" they are cuspids. Canines are long ripping fangs - do you see those on any humans? Man can thrive on a plant based diet - Go Vegan
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i never heard of cuspids so i checked it out on wikipedia. cuspids appear to be the same thing as canines. there's also a picture of a huma'ns teeth structure and it clearly shows humans do have canine teeth or should i say 'cuspids', if you want to get fancy. or maybe wikipedia is just totally wrong. the only thing im sure of is that i like meat. :)
Ok, yay! ill Explode!. Jesus you stupif fuck, what the hell are you fucking talking about...damn, what a whore oh my god are you retarded.we only have those teeth because our fat ass ancestors decided to eat meat and just like other species of animals(like us, we are animals too) evolution thinks we need sharp teeth, therefore, if we didn't eat meat a long time ago(like we shouldn't have,) none of this would happen
Go vegan, better health, compassion over unnecessary killing and good for the environment, it has given me more energy and joy, and I am glad avoiding animal suffering. I was vegetarian until I realizad the cruelty beyond dairy. Go vegan and help create a better world please.

... that if men didn't have these outlets they would turn to harming their wives, children, etc. instead! This aggressiveness, whether directed at non-humans or humans, is not something that we should be tolerating and accepting as part of normal "maleness". I think real men and women are ones who resist these impulses, should they find them in themselves.

The irony is when non vegan products are flagrantly advertising on vegan educational videos. In 8 years things will be very different. If every vegan out there focuses and helps just one person go vegan each year, and each vegan in turn repeats the process, we can have a vegan world in 8 years. Don't mourn, organize, mobilize, move the message. Love life, live vegan.

I have recently stopped eating animal meats and I'm adapting a vegetarian lifestyle but i still eat products that come from animals such as eggs and milk, the only problem i have is the unnecessary killing of animals, i agree that we should use their products in good faith but i am having issues answering the question of what gives humans the right to kill an eat other species, clearly this was the law before, "survival of the fittest" but we are taking advantage of the fact that we're on top.

Veganism is not diet. After years of studying ancient Hindu non theistic religions such as the Jainist, Donald Watson coined the word Vegan. He explained that a Vegan is someone who avoids all animal exploitation, it is as simple as that.
truth2748 2 years ago
@truth2748 hey I'm vegan and i've come to realise that the above statement is pretty much impossible, if you avoided it completely we wouldn't have the capacity to build anything as we would be exploiting animal habitats in the process, we wouldn't even be able to cultivate the soil without destroying a few creatures, nor could we have pets. I think veganism is more about mitigating on animal exploitation with an ongoing continuum of this idea as apposed to an all or nothing philosophy.

@yoyodindin I was vegetarian for almost 9 years, and always used to think that I would never be able to give up dairy - specifically cheese. That was my weakness. However, after watching the documentary Earthlings, I said, "never again", and I was so shook up by it that I never craved dairy. Now it's been a couple of months almost, and I'm just used to not having it. :) The smell no longer appeals to me - it smells a bit like meat and a bit sickeningly sweet. This from a former cheese lover! :)
kimberlily1983 1 year ago 2
@kimberlily1983 I hear ya, I saw the same thing, and not only was the treatment of the animals disturbing, it was just plain gross. Even in the dairy farms. I am not an activist, but I too gave up dairy products and meat after seeing that film. And I never let anyone sway my beliefs or lifestyle, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

bambifalls 1 year ago
@tejo29se I found that when I was vegetarian, it was hard to cut down on dairy (specifically, cheese). I'd try to limit myself to small amounts, but then I'd be overcome with temptation. Cheese is incredibly addictive.
Then I watched Earthlings, and everything changed. I decided then and there I didn't care how much I wanted it, I couldn't ever be a part of this exploitation again. We still had cheese in the fridge. I'd look at it, and this momentary blip of longing would come up...
kimberlily1983 1 year ago
@tejo29se ... to be almost immediately replaced by this sickening sadness and horror over what it was, where it had come from. I'd had my consciousness changed, forever.
So I'd recommend watching those kinds of docs, you guys. Sometimes knowledge of facts and statistics just isn't enough - you need to SEE it. That's what made the difference for me. I couldn't pretend I wasn't responsible for it anymore.
kimberlily1983 1 year ago
@kimberlily1983 I have seen Earthlings and I was chocked at how animals was treated. I wonder if the men working at these places treats their wives like that? Or close to that?
Reading the book Vegan Freak 2.0 (the updated version) by by Bob and Jenna Torres I got off milk right away, and it also helped with various links from the net.
Jonathan Safran Foers book Eating Animals also helps in the right direction.
I have ordered Skinny Bitch to help with the final bits of cravings.

@kimberlily1983 Some say Skinny Bitch is not a good book but I think it can help people with cravings for meat and eggs and milk. I read that they discribe it to detail so one gets grossed out.

tejo29se 1 year ago
@tejo29se And from what I've heard Skinny Bitch sounds like it could be a fun read. I'm not sure if it would be my sort of thing, but it sounds like something a lot of people would like, and a good introduction to veganism and animal rights issues.
As for whether animal abusers use violence towards humans, I imagine it contributes to it, yes, by eroding their capacities for sympathy and compassion. In some cases hunting has been defended as an outlet for male aggression, with the implication...

Plants have sensors but no central nerve system; they don't experience pain. Plants experiencing pain would be pretty irrational anyway, regarding the fact, that the ability of vertain beings to feel pain has an evolutionary sense to it.
If plants could experience pain that would be no help for them since they can't run away, scream for help.
Besides that - plants (and esp. fruits) want to be eaten since that's the way they can reproduce themselves.
ruonitb 2 years ago 2
@Jaboof11 well while it is noted that plants have sensorary awarness they cannot percieve physical effects, consciously interpret conditions, build memories, form thoughts or have the capicity to express emotion. A plant may appear distressed in certain situations, but this is a chemical reaction due to an imbalance in their cellular system. Any pain a plant appears to feel is a result of our personification upon them. So don't worry your little head!

It's normal to feel a little different/run down for the first few weeks of cutting out animal products. It's just your body "cleaning house" and getting rid of all the toxins you have accumuluted.

I'm hard gainer and am currently 137. maybe i needed to gain some fat before turning vegan. I dunno. All I know is that I didn't feel good and that it's not for everyone.
section912 2 years ago
Well, you don't loose weight by turning vegan. You loose weight when your kcal intake is too low; and that has nothing to do with being vegan, vegetarian or omnivore - there is onthing which has more kcal than nuts.
If you want to eat vegan stuff only and gain weight, then you just have to make sure to get enough kcal. Eat certain nuts, peanut butter, pasta, avocado.
And always eat a lot of vegetables and fruits - everyday (even more important for non-vegans ;) ).

Of course, whether we evolved to eat meat or not has little to do with the rightness or wrongness of killing animals for food. It is merely evidence of how people lived for thousands upon thousands of years.

In fact, research has shown that eating meat was a key factor in developing modern human brain capacity.

viharsarok, that's a common fallacy and simply not true. Man ate meat to survive during a time when vegetation was not available, otherwise he would have died out and not had a chance for brain development to continue. Man's brain simply continued to develop as a result of his survival not as a result of meat, as it would have on veg had it been available. If it were caused by meat, Lions and other animals whose diets are ENTIRELY meat, would have a higher brain capacity than man.

natural is good we agree on this. but animal matter in diet is necessary. i'd like to see how far a vegan gets without any type of supplement. and yes human methane outnumbers the amount of cattle methane. just because i lion kills a zebra and eats it doesn't make it evil, its nature.

Do you really think your teeth and your digestive system were designed to eat meat? There is a lot more acid in (for instance) a lion's saliva and stomach in order to digest meat. The human digestive system is nothing compared to that. Even look at your teeth compared to a carnivore's. They have long fangs and ours are all flat

yes we have flat teeth, molars, to much on veg, but we also have 4 canine teeth for meat. humans aren't carnivores or herbivores, we're omnivores. thats why we have both types of teeth. and also, condors have the strongest acid in the animal kingdom, it doesn't mean that the other animals can't eat meat.

canine teeth? unless you look like a vampire you have nothing close! chase an animal down ,bite off chunks of flesh,lick the blood ,maybe i might think you were made for that.you cant do that because eating raw meat might make your little tummy upset.you must cook it because you were not made to eat it.horvathsgirl...i like your words, they gave me fuel

i hope thats vegetable oil fuel your talking about. why dont you educate yourself, open up and encyclopedia and discover that humans have canine teeth, 4 of them, 2 on top, and 2 on the bottom.

They are not "canines" they are cuspids. Canines are long ripping fangs - do you see those on any humans? Man can thrive on a plant based diet - Go Vegan

i never heard of cuspids so i checked it out on wikipedia. cuspids appear to be the same thing as canines. there's also a picture of a huma'ns teeth structure and it clearly shows humans do have canine teeth or should i say 'cuspids', if you want to get fancy. or maybe wikipedia is just totally wrong. the only thing im sure of is that i like meat. :)

Ok, yay! ill Explode!. Jesus you stupif fuck, what the hell are you fucking talking about...damn, what a whore oh my god are you retarded.we only have those teeth because our fat ass ancestors decided to eat meat and just like other species of animals(like us, we are animals too) evolution thinks we need sharp teeth, therefore, if we didn't eat meat a long time ago(like we shouldn't have,) none of this would happen
