As if There Weren't Enough Reasons to go Vegan

I haven't come across a single good reason for going vegan.

Here's one: More meat for the rest of us! :bigsmile:

Doesn't knowing you've led to the death and sometimes torture of hundreds if not thousands of animals make you feel bad?

why put a label on it? Eat meat dont eat meat blahblahblah.

Ditto... do what works for you. I choose not to eat beef but I love me some turkey & chicken. Tried goose for the first time... didn't like it, its too greasy and I'm not a fan of dark meat.

am i the only one that thought "methyl-glyoxal"
was another word for FAT and well d'uh??

In reasons *not* to go vegan: Bacon.

I rest my case.

I believe the forum has just been closed...

I haven't come across a single good reason for going vegan.

Not even animal welfare, the environment or health benefits?

how is eating cheese from farm raise cattle abusive to cattle or the environment? i understand avoiding consuming an animal product that was produced by inhumane methods, but that doesn't require one to go vegan.

and i actually believe that it is not in health's best interest to go vegan.

You're kidding right? Don't we have to kill and torture thousands of plants to eat them too? Don't plants have feelings too? Don't you feel bad about that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9dP9F5nKpY

Animal testing to prove a vegan diet?

lol

I'm a vegetarian myself but you have to love the irony of it!

Doesn't it bother you that you've contributed to the death of thousands of innocent fruits and vegetables that were doing nothing other than minding their own business and growing happily in the sun?

I want some steak

YESS ^

lol

Are you guys adults or am I mistaken? The "debate" in here seems a lot like trash-talking. How about be realistic for a minute and actually state your thoughts as opposed to saying things like "bacon" or "no I don't feel bad killing animals" because that's bull****, unless you're legitimately a sociopath.

I'm not vegan, nor do I really care to be. I just find it insane that adults can get so high school in a matter of seconds when someone brings up veganism.

Not even a little bit. We are meant to eat meat!! Does the lion feel bad for eating the gazelle? Hell even the grizzly bear last week for eating the human? The answer is no, therefore I don't either.

Lets start with cheese. To produce milk (used in cheese) cattle are required to be pregnant every year. The calves are separated from the mother within a few days usually. The male calves are then killed and sold as veal, or raised to produce meat. Dairy cows often suffer from a variety of health problems due to being pregnant so often. Not all cows are free range. Many are kept indoors and fed artificial chemicals. For example, in Kentucky cows are genuinely being feed candy because corn and hay are too expensive.

What makes you think it isn't healthy?

LOL! Mice are not built to digest meat compounds so yes they will have adverse reactions. Humans are built to eat meat and veggies and grains. Meat does not in itself cause weight gain. It is an excellent source of many of the compounds we need to function properly. We have survived on a variety of foods for millions of years and this silly vegan business has only been around for a blink in human history. To my knowledge there is not one lifelong vegan over 100 yrs old and there are hundreds of us omnivores who make it to ripe old ages.
