Thinking of going vegan

Sarauk2sf

Why?

I see this thread has resurfaced. I've already responded to the OP so now I'll respond to you^ the question is not why the OP would want to go vegan it is why aren't you (and everyone else who consumes flesh) considering it? We have the resources to obtain all of our dietary needs on a plant-based diet and also end factory farmed animal suffering. so why wouldn't you choose the more compassionate option, why aren't you considering going veg?

Not to mention the human suffering and unfair, unsafe labor conditions at factory farms that put local small farms out of business so people can get cheap, unsanitary meat at WalMart (you get what you pay for). If nothing else, support your local small farms.

The question was directed towards the OP who actually wanted the advice not to you who already have your opinions pretty much set.

No doc, trainer or dietician has ever said a vegan diet is better than an omnivorous diet.
