Making the Connection - Why Vegan ? PART 1 ( WATCH ME)

"Most of our animal uses are transparently frivolous and cannot be described as involving any 'necessity.' For example, we kill billions of animals every year for food. It is certainly not necessary for us to eat animal flesh, dairy, eggs, or other animal products; indeed , the evidence is mounting that animal foods are detrimental to human health. Moreover, animal agriculture is an ecological disaster. The only justification that we have for using animals in this way is that we are accustomed to and enjoy the taste of meat and animal products." - Prof. Gary L. Francione

Go Vegan, not vegetarian. Its not about compassion, its about justice owed.

can u eat rice? or pasta?

[VeganTruth]

@m33lad

rice doesn't come from an animal, so yes its vegan, and yes i choose to eat it. A lot of pasta is vegan, except for certain types that put eggs in. All others are vegan and a part of my diet.

Love the line in the film (in part II, at the end), " Is the taste really worth it ? " It's a saddens me to know that so many people don't have a problem with openly admitting they love the taste of animals. It's as if saying, "I like to kill for pleasure", and that's the reality of it, neatly packaged or not. It's the ethical and moral question directly or indirectly associated, wether you hold the knife, gun, hammer, axe or condone it with your consumption and purchasing ($) power.

@86Pennywise666 Also, animals are injected w/ b12 supplements i believe. So they take b12 supplements too xD

If processed foods didn't have so much added sugar, the nature sugars of fruit would probably be delicious.
