So you want to go vegan for animal rights. That's interesting.

Just for a reminder, as an omnivore, you CAN get energy from consuming either plant based or animal based things. Humans can even incorporate algae, fungi, and bacteria as a food source with success.

Perhaps since you are struggling between your kind heart and your omnivore desires, the real question is not should I go vegan, but instead how do I have compassion and kind treatment for all living creatures, even the ones who will die so I can get my nutrients and energy?

I don't have an answer, but I promise I will keep looking in every basket of chicken wings and glass of beer I consume watching MMA until I can find an answer or forget the question in a drunken stupor.

Interesting view on vegans... Since you are opposed to vegan eating, you probably shouldn't drink beer since it is vegan; just in case someone confuses you for a vegan... especially since you're watching MMA fighting since there are some good vegan fighters that participate in that sport.

Awwwww I didn't mean to upset you.

Was it the chicken wing comment? If it was, my apologies. I was just hungry and went all carnivore. I'll go put "going carnivore" as one of the reasons why I'm a bad person to date in that other thread if it makes us all good again.

Just to set the record straight...I'm not opposed to vegan eating. I'm vegan ... at least half of the time.

I'm not vegan, I just think that's a very ignorant, close-minded view of vegans.

Enlighten me. What is my ignorant, close-minded view of vegans?

It is the fact that you do not agree that it is the best, most healthy, most moral and ethical system of eating.

Should I go Vegan? I know it is the right thing to do because of animal rights, but I'm scared. You're probably asking why I'm scared. Good question. I'm scared to fail. What if o can't do it. I can go without eating red meat, but chicken is my life. I also love cheese but I don't eat it as much because it's not healthy. What do you guys think? Let me know- also let me know some good recipes.

It's a big deal tbh!!

I haven't yet been successful, although I've taken a huge liking to black beans & previously ate, some hummus. My major issue with it, is gas. I clear rooms, I know because I have to leave the room, so I've had to stop eating chickpea pasta & taking Beano before every serving of them, isn't affordable; for me. Plus since I am trying to rid myself of excess weight & disabled, it's even more difficult for me; to get creative in the kitchen. So I've mostly been eating what I'm use to. There's no way I am able to make 2 meals, if I dislike 1 regularly; physically and/or financially but otherwise I'd love to be vegan! So I just do if/when what's possible & I don't stress myself concerning, what I'm unable; to accomplish.

I just recently started my vegan journey. The hardest thing is hidden ingredients. But eating whole foods and planning is key. The thing I miss most are eggs. And I have had plenty of fails but hey im trying
