What Are Your Thoughts On Vegans? Or Going Vegan ?

[PanZerrr]

we are designed to eat meat, i do feel bad for the farm animals but not bad enough that i'd accept being weak and skinny like plant eaters.
I think that not everyone can give up the food of animal origin.
I voted YES. I know of people who have cured various ailments by going vegan, I believe it can be quite healthy.

I also can not give up meat. Without it, I'm hungry. Even eating a huge amount of food, I continue to feel hungry. I could not give up the food of animal origin

Do you have concerns about animal abuse by eating meat or using animal products?

Do you feel strongly that it is your right to eat meat?

I don't really share how vegans feel about eating meat as ever since people have been eating livestock and poultry for sustainance. Let's face it, you won' t get all nutrients you need simply by consuming vegetables and fruits. Although i respect vegans for what they stand for but for me we need meat or at the least me and my family need meat so sustain what we need nutritionally

It is natural for humans to eat meat. Ever since the human race evolved, we were predominantly a hunter-gatherer society deriving most of the proteins from meat and fish. Even now, certain primitive societies depend entirely on fish and meat for their diet.

No way I could become vegetarian or vegan, I've had a few friends over the years who are offer me vegetarian recipes which copy traditional meals and they're always saying "It tastes JUST like ..." and it never does...

"Do you have concerns about animal abuse by eating meat or using animal products?

Do you feel strongly that it is your right to eat meat?"

Does a wolf feel the guilt when he eats his prey? Does any predator feel guild when he eats his prey? Why should human feel guilt? Just because we raise those animals as their sole purpose to feed us?

"Do you feel strongly that it is your right to eat meat?" It's not a right, it's a biological need.

I have one friend that's vegan and whenever I go to his place, his whole kitchen is stacked with vitamins and kinds of proteins, since human can't satisfy the needs from eating just plants, don't be stupud.

Food is made for all whether it's from The Himalaya or deep into the Ocean. Depending upon the situation and environment people back in 1000's of year practice eating local foods,meats and so do their generation learn that. We are humans and we know well about every food content, it's mineral value and whether it will be healthy for us or not. So, i think there should be no gap or difference between foods of any kind (meat,fruit,grains etc) and vegans should concerned about it. Different food have its own quality and some may like it and some may not but we should enjoy every thing given by this beautiful nature,world till it exists. Vegans and also every vegetarians should realize it. It's time to get up and have some thrilled KFC.
And yes i'm never going to be Vegan or Vegetarian.

I think everyone holds the right to eat whatever he/she wants and take the consequences of his/her actions, afterwards, but not to force others to eat/leave a kind of food just because he/she thinks it's unhealthy, involving animal abuse,... etc. But come on, everyone needs the protein of meat, you can't just replace it with protein of vegetables or beans.

For Example, I don't eat fish or seafood and I have weak bones due to the lack of calcium. Egg, Milk and cheese can't simply fulfill the lack of calcium that fishes provide. I'm fully aware of that and take the responsibity for it, but I don't force my family to drop fish/seafood from their food list.

This is surprising. I have always thought that dairy products contained far more calcium, when compared to seafood and meat. Anyway, if you don't want to take seafood, then you can try other vegetarian alternatives, such as tofu, green beans, almonds, okra, broccoli.etc. If that doesn't work, then you need to take supplements.

Being vegan is a partly a healthy lifestyle, but for me I wouldn't enjoy food that much if I limit myself. I do feel that it is not a crime to eat animals and as long as the production of these animals are still good I think we can still add it to our meals for we gain a lot of nutrients that we need in our bodies. I just feel that substituting all  the food that I need would be really hard especially on baking because it's very hard to find the right consistency in pastries.

Indeed, cows and their farts have been consensusly figgured to  be a major contributer to global warming, so it is our duty to Mother Earth to kill them, and cut them into slabs of juicy flesh, and roast those slabs of juicy flesh, and eat those delicious steaks.

[zuyfg888]

We all consider what are the positive and negative effects of being a vegan. Being a vegan is like you are going on a diet, no meat, all vegetables diet only. We all know what are the nutrients and other substances for vegetables, nevertheless, meat also have other nutrients for our daily lives that we needed. If we are going to vegans, are we ready for it?

[blakegrr]

Someone that don't eat meat is just an hippie. And hippies are like faggots : unnaturals !  And as you know, everything that is unnatural need to be cleaned... Maybe you'll tell I'm hard, but go tell to the fox that he has no right to eat rabbits ! That's just ridicule !

It's scum like you who needs to - and eventually will - be wiped out from the face of the earth. Anyways, I love these threads, they help my already huge ignore list to grow even more.

people who are just eating herbs or fruits is just okay if that is what they want. but i think before they go to being vegan they already know the taste of meats. so if a person switch to being a vegetarian we should respect his or her decission.

In India and Nepal, it is illegal to kill the cows (due to the Hindu tradition of worshiping cows). The ban is not applicable to the other cattle, such as buffaloes. So don't ask for beef steaks during your Indian visits.

Life is equal, where is the starting point of vegetarianism? So for plants, is it fair. Animals may be able to express, but does not mean that plants do not have equal status. I often think this is a law of the jungle world, in order to explain why I eat meat, of course, can not be contrary to the laws of nature, do not know if this is not my self deception. It is like the subjective and objective of philosophy, the truth is always relative.

Haha that's what I like, a true American spirit. You reminded me how delicious a grilled steak is.
Meat is tasty and healthy, I don't see why I should stop eating it. It surely won't stop others from killing and eating animals. Also, what should we do with old animals, that we know will die in a couple months, keep feeding until they drop and burry them? What a waste of tasty meat this would be.

eating meats is healthy as you can gain proteins from meats. it helps our muscle to buid up. we need to build up our muscle to be productive every day. but the enery we need is on the fruits and other carbs to energize our day.

Vegans suck. They think they're better from the rest of society because they are saving animals, but really it's just another fashionable bullshit. A fad some bored rich folks made up.

[bikihabana]

Vegans are generally more pale because without meat intake, they tend to develop a lack of iron, which is a necessary element in your blood to help you be healthy. If animals were not readily available to be slaughtered, butchered, cooled, aged, prepared and eaten, it would be the case to not eat meat for the populations of the world, generally speaking, but this is not the case. The important thing for me is that the animals are shot effectively and accurately, with the least amount of suffering and pain possible. When this is the case, I will eat my steak without feeling guilty.

They have the right to eat whatever they want or not, but humans by nature are designed to eat meat that is a fact and there is no way to change it, so I eat meat to have a healthy diet.

[joebrook]

Its a well known fact that going Vegan is the healthiest choice if living but it can be very expensive. In my honest opinion I think the best choice is mixing it up but one's diet should mainly consist of veggies and occasionally a small amount of meat.
