@marcluc1988 I guess because the word vegan invokes such a massively negative reaction from almost everyone I've ever met. One mention of the word 'vegan' and I have to spend the next two hours defending myself from hostile natives. It's tiring.

I'm a proud Vegan thanks to Mo!!! I love him with all my heart, sighs..... @>-->--

@sunlitekid01 You can't be serious... There isn't enough SPACE to grow vegetables?? one acre of land can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes! 30% of the Earth's land mass is being used to grow animal livestock. We feed the ANIMALS enough food to feed the ENTIRE HUMAN POPULATION ... TEN TIMES. Get real bro.

@newclips yeah that's what I do, but not because I don't want to be annoying but because I don't give a shit about other people's health, and I'd rather be healthier than everyone else, it's a competition :)

i am not a vegan... but for me being a vegan is kind of a religion; it's not something you should discuss in a table with people of different beliefs (it will only cause conflict and nobody will win) nor have to defend yourself why you do it because people won't understand. Although, many vegans are like a couple of religious groups that believe they should "spread the word" because what you're doing is wrong. So PLEASE vegans keep what you have to say to yourselves!

@sunlitekid01 - my point paedo, is that genuine hunters and fishings folks absolutely require nature to be clean and unpolluted and they are conservationists. they don't agree with evils like urbanisationa and logging and clearing - a lot of that goes on change it to farmland too, to raise meat animals.

you can check the factual reports by VON (vegan organics) for example as to the true economics of animal-input agriculture & horticulture.

kill yourself.

@sunlitekid01 - meat-eating REALISTICALLY is what i wrote fucktard - relies on hunting - and small-scale farming (small holdings). that's the only sustainable economically viable way to have regular meat.

and it's certainly the most ethical too. don't call me 'boy' you immature child-molester know-nothing scumfuck. keep your peado fantasies and projections of the dynamic here inside your sick evil mind where they belong.

it's a known fact meat farming isn't sustainable.

kill yourself scum.

@sunlitekid01 - free range doesn't mean that at all.

you're spreading lies and propaganda - read the details of what 'free range' labelling means. obviously some farms are free range and let their animals actually be free, but the fact is that the label alone doesn't guarantee anything of that kind.

you're scum you lying scum, kill yourself.
