You can read how well-planned vegan diets can support healthy living (including elite athletic performance) in the nutrition pages of our main Vegan Society Web site,

[TheVeganSociety]

As long as I have fair access to shopping & cooking facilities, it's straight-forward to enjoy a tasty, varied, affordable & nutritious vegan diet (see The Vegan Society Web site for details). Well-planned vegan nutrition can support healthy living at every age & life stage, from planning parenthood, through pregnancy, breast-feeding & weaning, in childhood & throughout adulthood, including elite athletic activities.

Thank you to everyone taking the time to stop by & comment. We are all capable of compassion. We all teach our children that it is wrong to cause unnecessary harm to others. Making the ethical choice to use non-human animals causes them harm: they suffer when we deprive them of freedom, or life. Outside of survival situations, we human animals do not need to use non-human animals to be able to thrive ourselves. We are making ethical choices, even when we let pleasure or habit control us.

Your definitely right when it comes to mass production of dairy, I'm specifically talking about when you know for sure the dairy is from a humane source, for example, theres no disputing that eating the eggs from my dads chickens in his back yard is "wrong", there well taken care of, and hens lay eggs no matter what, so if anything we are making use of the eggs that would otherwise go to waste.

[TheVeganSociety]

Even rescued hens are under a lot of strain to lay an egg on most days, & their brothers will usually have been killed when they hatched. We don't need to eat the hen's eggs e.g. we can let the hens naturally replenish their bodies by eating their eggs, or we can feed them to other rescued animals.

Just to clarify that 'dairy' is usually these days taken to refer to animals' milks, even though animals' eggs used to sometimes be included. Animals eggs are never suitable for vegans.

Just my quick 2 cents, Im just vegetarian but I do respect vegans, but - eggs and dairy from a humane source isn't taking away an animals life or freedom, in fact there technically giving life, for example, the chickens that we get eggs from, if we didn't want those eggs, that farmer never would have needed to hatch and raise that hen, so he technically gave that hen life in exchange for her eggs. Granted she's free range or in a very large open pen, that hen probably has a good life. So again,

[TheVeganSociety]

Hi, there. Sadly, eggs & milk do take away life & freedom. Half of all chickens are cockerels, half of all cattle are bulls - do you see them on farms? Millions of male calves & male chicks are routinely killed in their first days of life. The mothers were artificially bred so their bodies create milk or eggs far more than their free-living ancestors. So the mother hens & cows are exploited heavily. The mother cows also grieve for a calf a year, as they must be made pregnant to make milk.

Very good video, making an important, fundamental point powerfully.

I have been vegan since 1983, having been brought up as a meat-eater. It just took information and awareness to convince me to change. It's really not that hard, and I love food!

If you love animals, why eat them? If you care about the environment, veganism is also the only way to feed the human population sustainably

I've been vegan for 14 years, my partner is vegan and our 18 month old son is a healthy vibrant vegan baby. Viva the vegan revolution!

It's mind-boggling to me that the otherwise very cogent people I talk with see this contrive barrier between "humans" and "animals" as something that really exists, objectively. It does because we CHOOSE is does, and therefore a human death hurts us more because we continuously and traditionally train ourselves to hurt as we do. We don't do this with most animals (and proving this, we do when pets die). But they really think it IS different to kill one animal and another.

Well put-together video with a simple, powerful message. Thank you for creating this video!

Well done video.
