How is it going? I never actually made a concerted effort to go vegan I kind of went a week with no meat or dairy and was woah that was easy. I wasn't really sure how long I would keep it up for but after watching a few vegan youtube channels and some documentaries it became more of an ethical decision and i've kept it up for over a year now.

How are they reducing the suffering of animals?
The same animals are being killed. |

You can't really think animals Being bred purely to be looked up them slaughtered is as natural as a lion or whatever killing an animal in the wild
There's nothing natural about how humans get their meat I doubt I go be vegetarian or vegan but I'm still a massive hypocrite and defend the cause |

I have been watching lots of documentaries too, it really reinforces the true reason I want to do this and I actually haven't felt any urge to eat animals at all this week, so it should be easy if I can keep that up. |

I was only mildly teasing her. I'm sure she didn't take offence. Can't believe I'm explaining myself over such a stupid joke. |

We're not talking about that though. What actual difference does some people being vegetarian make to the meat industry? Not a jot. |

Humans enjoy meat and will continue to as they are naturally entitled to. The way in which we get that meat may no longer be "natural" but there's all kinds of things that are no longer done naturally as in the past and are fundamentally a part of being human. Everyone has the choice what they want to do what they don't want to do, and what they like to eat and what they don't like to eat. But let's not exaggerate. |

If people would've given up on many ideas just because "one person can't make a change", we wouldn't have progressed as a society like we do...
Human rights, general elections, revolutions, recycling - it comes in any aspect of life you could thing of. It doesn't do any wrong supporting good causes, so why look for excuses... |
I was vegetarian as a kid....because my mum was. She actually got really poorly (she was badly anaemic due to another medical issue) and so after 10 years started eating meat again. I only really eat chicken and fish...no red meat but because I don't like the taste. I would love to give it a go again but working full time and having a 7 year old that has a million evening activities means that I cant be arsed cooking different things at dinner time and I really do believe kids need to eat meat to get a full balanced diet

For the record, plant based diet is a balanced diet (from birth) and has been confirmed as such by the World Health Organization.
It's a mix of rooted misconception, poor nutrition education and old cultural conventions that keeps people clueless about handling a planet based diet. I'm not sure why the "unbalanced diet" argument is always brought up, but people wouldn't even tackle this subject and won't even consider it as a concern, even in the slightest, when looking on the animal-based diet. Hospitals, obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis - it's filled with people living on a so-called "balanced" diet that consists animal-based products. |
I don't like the "we were made to eat meat!" argument, I mean who says? And so what if that's true anyway? I'm sure there are many things that we should do but we don't because it's a personal preference, like who actually gives a ****

Poisoning the ocean with plastic is something else entirely. Stop arguing back with something completely irrelevant. |

Using that personal preference to say "I'm doing what's right!" is something else. |
Marsh, why are you so passionate about this? Nobody told you to stop eating meat. Also, watch a documentary, maybe. You could watch Rotten on Netflix or Earthlings.

The way we get meat is not only unnatural its also heartless and immoral. People need to realise that when they choose to buy meat they're supporting the suffering that farm animals are put through and they're supporting the damage to the environment the meat and dairy industry is causing. |
