This is true. I do truely feel bad for the abused animals, but even if you become vegan, you cannot stop other abuse, such as animal testing and other abuse. Besides, eggs help make up for a lot of lost protein and milk provides a ton of good stuff. ^_^
I'm not saying not to be vegan or that I don't support it, but I just know I could never handle it. ^_^

Humans are actually naturally herbivores (this is why we have to cook meat and why meat is not good for us) , and we also aren't meant to be able to digest milk after infancy. Lactose intolerance is the actual form of the gene, lactose TOLERANCE is a mutated form of the gene. This is why eating meat, dairy, and eggs makes you fat, and gives you a much higher rate of heart disease. The cow's milk is meant for the cow's calves, not for human beings. For us to take it is not what nature intended.
I can't stop animal testing, but I can choose to only buy products that have not been tested on animals.

people eating dairy products is the least concern of what 'isn't what nature intended' people can eat animal products and be perfectly healthy.

It isn't really the humans I'm worried about, its the animals we're stealing food/babies/lives from. The facts about humans are just on a side note. Also, sure I guess people can eat animals and be healthy, but if you don't eat animal products you are considerably healthier (provided you have a balanced diet, of course).

Sure you can! =) I used to think it would be super hard too, and I didn't think I could do it. I tried it and now there's all these amazing vegan foods I'm addicted to. There is vegan ice cream, it is called rice cream and it is honestly the best ice cream I have ever had. :mrgreen:

1. I am a very picky eater with a very limited menu. In addition to that I do not like vegtables (Just carrots and corn) or many fruits (Just Oranges Cherries Apples Lemons and Grapes.) If I became Vegitrarian I would probably starve to death. I also do not like salads.

2. I practically live off chicken. I also like milk a lot in addition to other dairy.

3. I am 20 pounds underweight and I am already not getting enough nutrients as it is. It could cause serious health issues.

4. I would not be able to eat at many places I enjoy. (Yes some places have vegitarion options, but more than likely I'll dislike them.)

To me it would just be a health hazard. Although maybe when I'm older and healthier I could maybe consider being a vegitarion but I doubt I could be Vegan.


Cool, haha I only like apples, cherries, and bananas. I like carrots and hummus for vegetables, and broccoli is alright too. Although I do like some salads. I'm rather picky as well, but I have found lots of vegan foods that I like :mrgreen:

I think I just discovered how delicious carrots and sugar sanp peas are XD, question: do they make vegetarian foods that taste like meat?
and: would you say it is ok if say, you removed pepperoni from pizza so it would be vegetarian? would that be ok?

1. Yes they do make vegetarian foods that taste like meat.
2. I guess technically it would be, but it depends on the person, I could never eat that (when I was vegetarian) because the flavor of the pepperoni would linger.. and it would make me feel sick.
