i love animals but in reality me not eating meat isn’t going to stop them being slaughtered

like by becoming vegetarian i’m not helping those animals so i just don’t see the point

bur i would be here for new laws to come in that protect animals/outlaw farming etc (i’m being serious btw)

Plants aren’t sentient though? Some plants literally rely on their fruits being eaten in order to spread their seeds.

It's been a week now and I already want to go vegan. :joker: I just saw some more clips from the Earthlings documentary and it's so painful to watch.

Yeah earthlings is carnage. You should watch forks over knives and cowspiracy; the first touches on the health benefits of a vegan diet and the latter on the effects of animal agriculture on the environment. I great place for vegan meal ideas is youtube, theres this Asian-American lady who I use to watch who did the best mukbangs. So annoying but I forgot her name.

That's what I meant about it being 'unsafe' :p My point was that having to alter it from it's natural state for whatever reason seems... unnatural, that we're not naturally inclined to eat it.

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 :laugh: )

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.

I can't believe how easy it's been, it's been almost two weeks now and I thought I'd be dying after this long but it has literally been so easy and way cheaper than eating meat. I feel so much healthier too, I haven't been bloated or anything like that, which used to happen to me all the time. :amazed: I can't get over how cheap it's been.

y.winter 20-01-2018 02:45 PM
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.

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.
