LYRICS:
Hey Ivory!
Yeah Jonathan?
You're Vegan, right?
Yes, that's right, I am!
Can I ask you some questions, then?
Sure, Mann, of course you can!
Are you ready for the questions, then?
What are you waiting for?

Where do you get your protein, protein, protein
Only meat has protein so where do you get your protein

Actually lots of things have protein: Beans have protein
Greens have protein, fruits and nuts have protein, grains and seeds have protein
and here's the thing that's so obscene:
We don't need so much protein
Most people eat more than they need

Where do you get your calcium? Only milk has calcium
Healthy bones from cow's milk, calcium, I drink it, yum

Lots of plants have calcium, and lots and lots of calcium
And cholesterol, well they have none of the fat found in milk

What about our ancestors? Didn't they eat meat?
If I wasn't supposed to eat it, then why do I have these teeth?

Do your teeth look like a carnivores? All sharp and pointy, like?
No you gotta cook your meat over a roaring fire light!
Furthermore, all carnivores act on instinct
Humans make choices, they consider and they think
If humans of old ate meat
It was a choice not a necessity

If everyone were vegan, what about all the cows
and all the gajillion chickens living on farms now?
If everyone turned vegan it wouldn't happen over night
and demand would just decline and so would the supply.

Isn't vegan food just bland and gross?
No! It's yummier than most!
You care about animals more, you do!
I care about animals, people too!
Aren't vegan men weak and girly?
I find vegan men quite sexy!
B12, so there, haha!
B12's from bacteria!

Where do you get your protein? Plants!
Where do you get calcium? Plants!
Where do you get your iron? Plants!
Where do you get your zinc? Plants!

Hey Ivory!
Yeah Jonathan?
I think I get it now.
Yeah, it's all about plants.
Yep, that's pretty much it.
OK, cool, glad we cleared it up!
Me too! Let's have a snack!
OK.

@MoRgUe27 And what are the cows you eat fed with ? PLANTS ! If you really care about "the millions of birds, rats, etc" that arekilled in the "process of harvesting of our precious plants" then go vegan. WE make an effort you don't even care about doing, so please shut the fuck up.

[Christoph08151]

To be more precisly we are not carnivores we are omnivores. A healthy diet for us consists of meat and plant based food. You can eat the wrong food for a long time without dying or getting ill. For example you will survive for years if you eat nothing else then potatos and butter. But you will not get 80 years old with this. The most vegans have a time in their live where they eat vegan and telling everyone to stop eating meat. But everyone i know startet eating meat again after a while.

Other herbivores have big sharp canines as big as carnivores.

[oljolio]

Not PLANTS, but they eat BACTERIAS in their stomach, and plants help them to digest it

[emsaaron]

Jogighopa, human intestines are herbivore length. You are incorrectly counting our legs in our height.

[spoziscool]

Our teeth arent like carnivors like dogs because we evolved killing animals with tools not biting into to them we are the dominant animal with the brain not the strength

[AriLiv1]

people that eat meat can be just as thoughtful about things as vegans.. eat what you want just don't try and make me a vegan too. and please don't give me hate for this, tis my opinion :)

[slackdave]

Beautiful eye make up.

[jogighopa]

I'm all for vegan,I am actually making transition,because of my beliefs,but I must disagree. If we would ever be herbivorous, we would have a lot longer digestive tract. Cow has digestive tract 25 times longer than her body, lions 6-8 longer and humans around 12(the numbers might be different, because I write from memory, but humans are between).Therefore, we can't digest cellulose properly!Related to us apes,eat daily veggies and fruits but from time to time they catch something more meaty.

[BLUERAY1]

i LOVE this song..super, duper cool...my fave of any of these kinds of vegan songs.
