What Are Your Thoughts On Vegans? Or Going Vegan ?

To give up such a basic part of human nature, being an omnivore, takes a lot of will power and is something I will never do.

Among the Hindus, being vegetarian means getting an elevated status in the society. Vegetarians forms the elite group of the Hindus. Those who eat meat occupy the middle group. And those who consume beef are treated as the lowest tier.

Thanks for the info. I didn't have prior knowledge about that. Anyways, I have big respect for vegans, I'm not a vegan myself but its hard to be one day in day out and as what the poster above said a lot of willpower. And there is also the health benefits that goes along as well. But are there any studies saying that being a vegan is better than any other healthy eating diets like Atkins? Because I never encountered one? If anyone knows, can you put me out to the right direction?

Going vegan is good for the body, they are healthier than the meat they we consume as long as the vegetables that we eat are rid of the chemicals that are used in grow them.  Though the chemicals helps them grow faster and bigger, the chemical will have a side effect on the human body so if am gong to go vegan, i will go for home grown vegetables.

It is not that all the vegetarian food is healthy and all the non-vegetarian food is unhealthy. From what I have noticed, vegetarian people tend to concentrate more on their health, doing regular exercises and dieting. That may be the reason why they are healthy.

I do not think anything bad if I do not try to impose my own food. Plants are also living beings. I do not understand how you can ruthlessly cut down forests and pick flowers.

If you compare plants and animals there are big differences that you should check and take into consideration. First is that plants have the power to regenerate while animals do not. If we want to eat an apple we just pick its fruit and the tree will not die then you should also try eating the heart of a chicken and the whole animal dies.

Well the point of the vegans is not animal rights rather on eating vegetables over meat. Vegetables are much more healthier than meat so that is the reason they are promoting veggies.

Actually it is vegetarianism, which is causing the most damage to the tropical forests. Tropical forests in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and the other Latin American nations are cut down to make space for Soyabean plantations. And Soya is the magic food for the vegans. In Indonesia and Malaysia, the virgin forest is cut down to make similar plantations for Oil Palm. Palm oil, is another vegetarian product which is used frequently by the vegans.

Anyone should really eat, or not eat, what they choose, as long as they don't turn into eco-fascists.

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

Yes I do. I like chicken but I don't like how most chicken ends up in my happy meal.

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

It's not a right, it's a privelege, and a choice I guess.

[audaciousbeing]

I went for maybe because I personally dont have a conviction about what I eat when there is something to eat. I guess the reason why some people will say they cannot be a vegan is because there is another option to consume which I am sure thats why. For countries that are facing famine or refugees I am sure they wont have any other option as all they care about is survival.

[olubams]

In as much as I dont have any issue with those turning into vegetarians, I still dont see myself joining them in that ideology simply because I just love my variety and ability to choose from several options. I actually can stay without eating meat but definitely not forever without it. For those who are staying without it, I want to say thank you for making the excess available for those of was ready to consume more...

You can say that the meat will get a lot cheaper, if half of the world's population decides to become vegetarians. That said, there is a probability of small and medium scale farmers going bankrupt as a result of these low prices.

I do not believe in this. Most likely meat will become so expensive that most people will not have the opportunity to buy meat, so this is their sure way to vegetarianism.

I don't have a problem with people doing whatever they want with their bodies but I have a problem  with people telling me what to do and that I’m wrong for doing what billions of humans have done since the dawn of time.

How can that be possible if there is an over-supply of meat in the market, and a decline in the demand? The farmers will either dump their stocks at near-zero prices, or destroy them (even destroying meat is an expensive process).

Recently, a video was broadcast on television with a speech by dietitians, so there was mentioned a new study by British scientists who said that people who eat only plant foods have a reduced brain. Now we need to draw conclusions.

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

I strongly believe that I will remain a non-vegan only and will never become a pure vegan in my entire life. I have see few vegan people struggling with their health and doctors have suggested them to start eating non-veg, at least egg. Because human body needs animal protein. It can't survive purely on veg food.

Most vegans still eat eggs to meet their protein. I salute the people who are actually vegetarian, I don't know what he eats for energy and nutrient requirements as a substitute for meat benefits. I would be very weak if only eat rice and vegetables, even fruits. I don't like intake of vitamin injection of fluids or substances, I reduce food was taking too much use of chemicals and preservatives.

That's cheagan 

[bra4our]

I would never go vegan, After tasting meat and its deliciousness, I agree that going vegan is the best choice for a healthy living but even the strictest vegan am sure eats meat in secret once in a while.

[darkseid1199]

Going vegan should be a freely made health decision, It should not be a burden, Most of them impose lots of stress on themselves by going vegan, and then they try to impose it on others as well which is very annoying.
