I don't think you can state that you're an environmentalist if you accept animals to be killed so that you can have a meal. there are so many options we humans have when it comes to food, it's not like we're biologically carnivores. and i think that all the processes involved in the food industry are extremely pollutant, so giving up chemical foods, meat, dairy is a healthy, responsible and honest step to take.
Hmm, currently vegeterian for 4 years, plan to take the leap to vegan in the future, though I think it will require a lot of preperation. Meanwhile I find cheese will be extremely hard to give up, and I find the vegan cheese just isnt the same.
Meanwhile I try to eat as little chemically processed food as possible, but it seems chemicals are on everything these days, and a lot of people cant afford all organic foods. It's a shame it has to be so expensive.
As well, an awful problem that is occuring right now is that a lot of soy farms are being planted where torn down rainforests were, so ide try to avoid any soy companies that grow their products in those areas.
oh, i know. i've turned vegan three weeks ago, funny i should promote it so ardently. thing is, i saw some documentaries and it is awful what corporations are doing to us. and yes, cheese is a huge miss.
related to the soy issue, you don't have to eat that much soy. it's incredible: at first i was desperate, thinking my God, what am i going to eat, what is there left?, but only now i've discovered actual food and actual cooking.
a world of endless possibilities. check out vegan food websites for more info.
I haven't exactly turned vegan as of yet. I know it would be much better for my whole family to do this and I am wanting to gradually adjust our meals so that we do. However, I did try some soy milk just last night and I was amazed at how good it was! I think I will be buying it from now on. I have also made soy candles for the last few years and the difference in those and paraffin is tremendous. Soy is just healthier all the way around in my opinion. I'm hoping I can make alot of changes in the foods we eat and the products we use in our household.
I am curious as to how you plan on replacing your vitamin B12. This is only available from animal sources, so if you don't consume them you need a synthetic replacement-the exact thing (chemical, manufactured) thing that you don't want.
While I agree with people who are vegan due to large processed food and less than nicely slaughtered meat, I really don't think I have the time and money to turn vegan even if I could convince myself I no longer enjoyed cheeseburgers. Which is also one of the main things keeping me from being Kosher
It has also been proved that plants give off electrochemical signals when you pull of a leaf akin to screaming if someone puled off your ear. So is killing plants any better than killing animals?
Out of curiosity, what is your solution to the over population of animals if everyone did as you suggest? There is a natural order of things, at least to a degree. There is nothing wrong with being a predator as they do have their place in the food chain. Disrupt one part of that chain and you will see repercussions on down the line. When I say predator, I refer to killing for food, not for the so-called "sport" of it.
