I think you know that animals can suffer pain, plants not, don't you?

I never said that I'm superior to others. The human rights should be respected in all countries of the world. Unfortunately they aren't.

I'm not against your rights, but I'm against torturing animals. In my opinion they have the right to live as we have.

The grandmother is completely adorable!! Also- the book is awesome. Read it. Loved it. Changed my life.

Your book was absolutely amazing.All my life I tried to explain to others why I am vegetarian, and how to convince people I wasn't crazy to think that it's because of animal rights. Not just for their own welfare but also our own. I'm from an almost carnivorous country, always hungry and always consuming ignorantly. I draw parallels from what you say to Adam Zoretsky. It's not just about their "feelings" (condescending voice).This book meant so much to me, I just want to show it to everyone!

@echoingheads Foer says it at the end of this video: watch?v=tATqTV2Mtfs

He probably talks about it in his book too. I don't know for sure 'cause I started reading it yesterday :)

@SmileYoureBeautiful Really? I'm vegetarian and it would be great if I could use this fact in the future for reasoning with the many I encounter who question my life style.

Could you please show me where you got this fact from so I can find out if there is any truth behind it?

Thanks!

@Rainzkul Having to "destroy all the rainforest to make space to grow crops"? What about all the crops needed to feed animals (in stead of people) to produce meat? Universal/global environmental benefits from veganism can be argued, but that's not the same as beeing "not just true".

[Rainzkul]

he's incorrect where he says that most people know that it's bad for the environment. most people i've discussed it with assumed that if we at nothing but plants, we'd destroy all the rainforests to make space to grow crops. of course this is shallow, fallacious thinking, but it's just not true that the environmental benefits of veganism are universal.

@meganovatron - part 3

Do you know Michael Moore? I love his documentations.

... and the USA started war on Iraq and Afghanistan (where Germany is involved - but not with my support).

I wonder why US-citizens are not willing to pay more taxes so that poor people need not starve or freeze. In Germany there are social assistance for all poor people. They only have to fill in a few papers and get money for living and a warm flat. Your county supports pure capitalism, but that's not good for the poor people.

@meganovatron

I understand that you are poor and you have to struggle a lot to survive.

I don't understand why US-citizens don't change their politics. The Republicans are against every social reform and it seems that there is a majority who supports them. Are they stupid (it is said that a lot of US-citizens know very little about the world)? Are they religious fundamentalists?

From my German view the USA is a violent nation: It is allowed that children own guns and ...
