Oh yes, absolutely. One of the most ridiculous assumptions when it comes to plant-based diet, is that it's expensive. Another excuse people tell themselves to avoid going veg, same as with the "unhealthy" argument.

Glad to see that you're finding it easy :love::hug:

I'd recommend to anyone interested, look for Challenge 22+, it's something that started in my country and spread worldwide. I personally didn't do it, but I always hear it's very helpful for those who don't know where to begin.

The 'you're not helping animals so no point' argument is ridiculous. If every vegan and vegetarian still ate meat it's pretty obvious more animals would be being bred to suffer and be slaughtered than there currently is right now. That number of animals will only decrease as the number of vegetarians and vegans rises.

Jessica. 20-01-2018 08:31 PM
I know right.

You greatly overestimate the number of vegetarians and vegans.

Vegetarians especially are still consuming innumerable products that use animal produce so their "mark" is barely even felt.

Although I'm sort of back on the fence now about the whole nature thing anyway after reading this https://veganbiologist.com/2016/01/0...ot-herbivores/

(there's an alien analogy so you might want to avoid it Marsh [emoji23] )

It's not that relevant anyway really as most people will decide based on morals/preferences etc but it's interesting to think about the whole nature thing, it's not something I've ever really thought about before.
So explain the many cooked vegetarian meals which alter the ingredients from their original state.

That reasoning is ridiculous.

Nobody is going to get e coli or salmonella if they haven't cooked their carrot though.

No. No poisons or diseases ever came from a fruit or a vegetable.

20 days now! I am loving it!

Jessica. 08-02-2018 09:27 PM
I haven't had meat in a whole month now, this is definitely right for me. I love eating lots of veggies and causing a smaller impact on the pain of animals and the environment

y.winter 08-02-2018 09:29 PM
I'm so happy to read it :love:

Excuse me, cleanliness is next to godliness. Also I smell nicer since I am not ingesting weird meat juices.

Credit to Jessica for doing it though, that definitely takes alot of willpower.

Well Done Jess
if you feel far better
thats good.

But if you cheat
you must Post it.

Jessica. 13-12-2018 04:13 PM
I still haven't cheated, Arista.

I am so excited for my one year anniversary of being veggie, it has been way easier than I expected and I have a much better relationship with food now!

Unless you lead a totally vegan lifestyle, you're still using animal products/processed foods so aren't lessening any animal suffering.

Braden 13-12-2018 05:59 PM
Not to intrude on your thread because you're achievement is fantastic, but I've recently become a vegetarian too. Over a month in the making and feel great for it.
