What Are Your Thoughts On Vegans? Or Going Vegan ?

Anecdote:
"My wife is a Veteranian."
"Mine does not know how to cook, either."

Actually, to each his own.
Some blood groups can not live without meat at all. So it's not for us to condemn them: that they chose this and live.

I think whatever we eat is not a problem, we are born to be omnivorous which means we can eat either meat or vegetables. We just need to respect if someone can't eat vegetables or meat. But i mostly eat vegetable to keep my energy up . Meat has always have cholesterol which slow our body movements.

Our body does fine with a mix of veggies and meats. If you are Vegan because you love your dog, I am sorry you are vegan. I am not a vegan, no problem with vegan diets. Love some beans and broccoli, but can't live without eggs and bacons. So much hate and anger in some of the posts, care to walk it off ?

I support the idea of vegetarianism and be sure that the meat is harmful to human health, but I can't completely give up meat. I love animals, but I don't think of meat as the body parts of dead animals. For me it's just food on store shelves.

It's common sense that meat is extremely inefficient.

At the bottom of the food chain, animals need to eat plants and all of their energy comes from plants.

Because animals use energy during their lifetime which is from plants, it means that eating the animal is only eating a small part of the energy that it has consumed in its lifetime.  So eating animals is always extremely inefficient, and it makes far more sense when you can farm on a major level to move down as low on the food chain as you can.

To claim that veganism can't give you protein is entirely unreasonable, because all of those animals' nutrients that you're eating originally came from plants anyway.

And besides those animals are really for human consumptions.  We actually need meat for us to be healthy and strong.  As long as you will not eat animals that are not for human consumption I think that would be okay.  But actually I am thinking to become one, a vegan, because of the side effect of eating too much meat.

One should not change eating habits so fast. It creates mayhem in the body. Better to do it following a slow path.

The problem with producing meat in bulk and cost effectively involves factory farming, where the animals are treated poorly, depressed, sick, pumped with growth hormones, antibiotics and antidepressants...which isn't the best for human consumption.  The best meat for consumption is from animals that live in the wild, that are hunted.  But it's not a solution that can scale to satisfy the meat demands for humans around the world.

My problem with going vegan is that it is a lot more expensive to buy organically grown non-GMO foods, and boy I tell ya at least where Iam from it is.

Bananas organic with GMO are double the price, i don't even think we have non-GMO bananas around here. Lots of other stuff is like triple the price of regular vegetables and stuff like that.

I don't have anything against it, and I do know the meat industry isn't much better because of their GMO and hormones and feeding the animials leftover parts of themselves mixed together with the grass/hay they eat that was grown with GMO and fertilizer.

Almost everything is a bad option in its totality, but I think the healthiest is vegan for sure.

I believe we are allowed to eat meat, but I would rather choose to eat more vegetables. And if one day meat are not allowed to eat, its ok. Because I love eating vegetables. Doesn't matter if I do not eat meats. Besides, being a vegetarian is healthy in the long run.

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?

Being vegan or eating a meat is a matter of choice. And also they kill animals quick and there's no abuse and don't forget that for centuries, humans eat animals just to survive. You can eat any of the two but you can also do both.

[krigger]

I think going vegan is good in most ways, but there is nothing wrong with eating meat once a month or a few times a year.

I eat vegetables but it needs to be paired with meat. I don't see why vegans take it a big deal. If they don't want to eat meat then just don't eat meat. No need to discourage everyone about how bad meat is. Maybe they are suffering because they are unble to eat any food they want and they are making a lot of effort just to make vegetables taste better. They're like kids who not allowed to eat candies.

Humans are predators. You cannot mess up the millions of years of our genetic composition. If your reason to go Vegan is because of your health, then it's fine. but to say that you want to go vegan just because you feel bad for the animals is not quite convincing. I mean, science has already proven that plants can feel pain, as well, and have certain emotions similar to animals. Only difference is they have limited ability to show it.

I'm fine with eating meats , i don't love vegetables that much.

You can't survive for long being a pure carnivore. Humans are basically omnivores, and that means that you need to take at least some amount of cereals, fruits, vegetables and dairy products. It doesn't matter whether you love vegetables or not. If you don't want to take them, then you need to get the nutrients from some other source.

Right. There will be health repercussions if you only have meat on your diet. Even from prehistoric times, people then, with their level of intelligence, understand that vegetables and fruits are essential in their diets.

For Vegan are the real MVP of Pro-life. They do really value  the life of  the living things. I can't imagine going vegan, I just even tried to eat fruits daily and the day will not end without me eating any meat. I don't feel full by not eating meat in a day. I do  really respect the  way  they and the way how they value the life. I wish I can be like them but as of now it would really be hard. maybe on my next life I will try to go Vegan. Salute to them!

One of my friends at office is a vegan. She has already started not eating animals since 2012. Truthfully she started because her religion but I think she has strong willing to keep being a vegan when all of my office mates are not. We often eating outside during lunch break and she always keep her promise to be a vegan.
So I think in the end being a vegan is a choice, and I can see till now that she is healthy although doesn't eat animals. But for me, I still want to eat all kind of meats, maybe I will be a vegan someday but not now.

It can help with overall health and well-being, not to mention the skin improvement that comes along with it. Though tough the first few weeks, there have been products marketed to be as similar as their meat counterparts which are said to be vegan.

I don't care whatever other people eat. It's their choice, it's their body, and it's their health. As long as it doesn't concern me, I don't care. Being a vegan is good too. Some people are really health conscious. Taking care of our body is good too. We shouldn't just care about getting rich, because all of it will be useless if we get sick.
