I have also found it effects behaviour. I also couldn't kill so aren't going to pay someone to be cruel to and to kill for me. The cruelty the mass production, battery hens, sow stall etc really gets to me. I believe we are taught animals are dumb for a reason. I've studied enough biology to discern in my own mind that we are not natural meat eater. |

To the parent of the vegan, you should let your child do her own thing. If she discovered your betrayal, she may not take care of you in your old age. Don't betray the choices of others. Quoting: Toxic Poptart Thanks, I ask her if I can butter her toast and sometimes she agrees but still won't eat it. She doesn't like anything else on it. She'll eat eggs and I scramble those in butter but it's not an every day thing. She finally started eating the yolk in hard boiled eggs too thank goodness! Thanks, if she sticks with it as she gets older, she had no idea she's a vegan it's not something she consciously chose, I wouldn't interfere in her eating. I hated it when my parents insisted I eat something I didn't have a taste for. When your daughter grows up, she will get her revenge and do this to you: Is that what you want?! |

The bible is full of examples of owning cattle and also slaying the fatted calf to celebrate. Beef, its whats for dinner. Thank you Jesus. Quoting: naneenaneenuunuu After the fall into murder rape greed theft fraud lechery yes the bible documents 6000 yrs of sin/sickness. And mentions little about the eternity of paradise except ppl are vegan in paradise. Let me be clear I do not fully trust the bible as a source. I included it for those who needed it. THE SOURCE is my source ! The source isn't the name of a god. My God has a name. As I asked God to reveal hisself to me He did and so I never distrust his Word so carefully given to all of us. Of course there is 6000 years of fallen shit under satan's rule. Did you even notice that time is up What do you suppose happens next? You're about to miss the next step into eternity. Whatever we eat there will be much more delicious than anything we've known. Acts 3:21 |

People don't even realise most seeds they buy from retailers are not only gm they don't even produce viable seed. They have made them infertile so you have to keep buying, season after season. The reality most don't see is the situation we find ourselves in has had a lot of time and effort put into it. It is all by design to the detail, and certainly not for our interest or benefit.

Want to eat meat, have the dignity to do it yourself and show some humanity, or eat what you can live with. Do you know why a drumstick is longer on a free range hen than other hens, they stand in their own discharge all day and it burns their legs, they cut them higher as even plucked you would notice the burns and discolouration and wouldn't eat it. Do you know how your nuggets are made? If you want to eat meat, go for it. But don't blindly argue, or pull the i didn't know card, like we do with so much else in life. Turn of big brother, the voice and educate yourself before claiming lack of knowledge. It's all there for you to see, if you open your eyes people. Many things in life, our trust that we handed to the people in charge has been taken advantage of. Open your eyes to the pies you have your fingers caught in. |

Quoting: MartyWrites Genesis 9:3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. So you are saying it's ok for YOU to eat because God said so ? and that God doesn't care if animals are abused for your appetite ? Full literal interpretation of that verse means cannibalism, or eating thy neighbors, is eating "everything that lives and moves about that will be food for thee". So, cannibalism should not be condemned(?) if you really want to apply the fullness of that verse in it's literal sense. |

Every restriction in consumption is positive and a vegan definitely consumes less energy, water, land, etc. than a vegetarian or a meat eater. The major problem is the taxes you have to pay and that are being used to subsidize milk and meat consumption (an live animal exports to muslim countries) in a way that meat, eggs and milk products in Europe are cheaper than vegetables. This is perversion sponsored by the EU. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 28053131 United States 04/26/2014 06:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For those worried about protein, you get protein from all whole food sources. Everything that grows uses amino acids to build itself. If you eat a variety of plant food that is not all processed you will get all the protein you need. Did you know that gram for gram raw sunflower seeds contain more protein than egg? You don't need eggs to survive. Spirulina is also a great protein boost if you're so worried. I take zero supplements, barely eat spirulina, when I remember, and eat the rainbow of organic fruits and vegetables and my blood work is fantastic according to the doctors. My skin is supple and I have zero stretch marks after having a baby!!!! I also nursed and there is not one mark on my body that would tell you I had a baby. I was raw for years as well. The best I ever felt. I'll go back to eating only raw food soon :) I love food! I went vegan after researching my alternatives and I can't kill. I tried to kill a frog once with a 22 and it severely damaged my soul. My dad is a hunter and I grew up watching him hunt. My soul is not meant to be that kind of human. We all have our own paths. Do not condemn others because you like to kill. |

Where do you get your quinoa from? Do you buy only local clothes made by Hermits? Look into the costs energy wise of what it takes to ship these products to you. To process them.

But don't preach because it turns you into a jackass Brother or sister the reason for not eating meat is not going green but saving the life of an innocent defenseless animal which wants to live just like my son and daughter want to live. By killing it I put my one meal (or maybe a few meals) more than the life of the animal. We have become so selfish that we kill and take away the life of an innocent animal to satiate a few of our meals. Put yourself or your baby in the place of the slaughtered animal and then tell me if you will call the meat eaters murderers or not? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 56244100 Switzerland 04/26/2014 07:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The problem with that, is you are still killing animals. Even by posting here. Don't believe me? look it up. You can't avoid it unless you are a Hermit. You can however, reduce what you do. Eat and consume products more logically, researching what you are doing. And that is the name of the game. It won't give you any spiritual superiority. It won't get you any health superiority. It however, may keep the planet safe for a little while longer - which is its own reward. So effectively, if you are becoming a Vegan to prevent from killing animals, you are unfortunately not going to achieve that goal. If you are doing it to try to be more eco-friendly, that is sustainable. But then you don't necessarily need to go Vegan. You just need to buy local, and I mean real local. |
