Anyone vegan?

yea and plants suffer too
you can hear a brocolli crying in the pan with the right tools
there are actual studies on this

It is probably not a good idea to remove animal products from my diet given my metabolic disorder. I tried being a vegetarian for a while when I was younger and after a week or so found that I had developed a set of symptoms like those of post viral fatigue.

When you are hungry you can become angry too or agitated.
i don't want to be vegan.
I can go a lot of days without meat but i can't go without cheese at least.
One day though i would have bad craving if i go long without it.

I was vegan for about 5 years in college.
It got boring to me. And it took a lot more time to make sure I ate in a balanced way.
I don't eat a lot of meat now, but I do love fish and occasionally a good steak.
I doubt I could live w/o cheese.

Nice argument, like when they do kids. I made the kids I am allowed to eat them.

It is a reasonable argument and another good one is, "Who the f*ck cares?" They're just animals and so are we, doing the same to them as other animals are doing to other animals.

I think that sometimes people have this view that animals are hopping around in the wild like a Disney movie, living together in harmony.

The reality is that nature is a b1tch. Life for all is a constant battle: kill, run, f*ck, eat and die. You don't often see wild animals dead of old age.

If god didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of steak.

His argument wasnt good.

I'm not a vegan, I eat meat each and every day at least three times a day. It's the only thing that satisfies my hunger.

I did accidentally purchase a pair of vegan shoes.

Leopard print brothal creepers. Very moral..

Almost vegan here. Haven´t eaten meat proper since around 7 years I´d think. Was fully vegan for a few years as well but nowadays use loads of butter for bulletproof coffee.

I personally would doubt that it has had much effect on my personality. It would be an easy culprit to explai slipping but I was probably quite a-social to begin with. The only way veganism could be tied to aggressiveness would be through the militant variety, as when people start out on a new way of eating, itś difficult and they might come under pressure from others.

Healthwise, it just makes more sense to be vegan (all the studies linking meat to coronary and heart disease) and it´s actually cheaper that way. I don´t miss the poor digestion at all (+cramming antibiotics into my body as collateral damage) and ethics wouldn´t allow me to do it either. I lost the taste for it a while ago.
