    I feel this way about it. No matter what I eat something had to die.

    It doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you any where, about anything. Do what's best for you, always.

    Food is very intimate and it's only your business what goes into your body.

    I'm almost vegan! Eat it most of the time just haven't taken on the label and committed. Don't let people tell you fruit is bad for you because the science on that is fudged. Do a little more research. They try to say the fructose is bad for you but it's not in the amount that's in fruit.

    I've been vegan since September and I am trying to eat mostly whole food and low-calorie to lose weight. Very uncomfortable with my body as I've gained weight during my semester abroad. I am also doing NO exercise because I tore my ACL and can't walk, and am waiting to get surgery. :( Anyone can feel free to add me :)

    And if anyone needs any advice or has ANY questions about veganism, definitely ask me because I am really passionate about it!

    I am low carb and paleo. I could care less what you eat. Pretty sure others feel the same way. You'regoingto find extremists in every group, but No one can push diets on you, and vice versa.

    i am an ethical vegan , i went vegetarian as a teenager for ethical reasons and when i learned about the dairy and egg industry i over night went vegan .

    that's just how i am , my heart guides me

    best decision i have ever made for both my body and who i am as a person

    OP do your research find some basic vegan meals and snacks you love and then work from there

    Pretty sure the last sentence would have been sufficient here. Watching a peta video does not equate to learning about an agricultural industry. I'm an "ethical" omnivore, and not ashamed. :)

    As to the OP, my suggestion would be to not write things in a way that you KNOW is going to bring negative comments if you truly don't want negative comments. Otherwise, skim over said comments.

    On a side note, I've been away from MFP for over a year, this place hasn't been taken over by the "I self identify as..." types, has it? I sure hope not!
