Why aren't you vegan yet?

[Wildtree]

If unborn babies do have rights, I would like to file a class action lawsuit on behalf of the unborn future babies of 2100, and all subsequent inhabitants of Earth, who endure the ecological damages you, personally, did to Earth.

Small though your contribution may be individually, and therefore small the damages rewarded would be to each future-baby - when considering all potential future-babies - who will each endure your pennies-worth of devastation - I believe you owe me more money than is yet in existence.

I'll hold the money in trust for all future-babies

Can we make that a class action lawsuit?
I want a piece of that cake too

Just because you can does not mean you need to. Feel free to eat whatever you want, but ii felt like doing an "public service announcement".

The fact that you think that what you're saying is doing us any sort of service really just further proves the point that you're just trying to force your beliefs on everyone. You think you're better than everyone else because of it?

[XeroD]

If vegans weren't trying to force their life style onto others all the time, I would try it for a week or so.

[Wildtree]

I read that as "I bury my meat"

Sounds like a porn.

What have i done wrong now? I'm not forcing, i'm saying you should consider.

Eat your sprouts and stfu about worrying about your "proteins" and then enjoy saving a shit ton of cash wasted on expensive meat.

50g of sprouts protein = 50cents , meat= 3-10$ depending on the meat.

"oh but I need a complete protein!", buy some gelatin and stfu.

Btw Jesus wasn't even vegan, he ate meat too.

Eating correctly does. you do know b12 is in soy/cereals/plant milk/yeast/yoghurt right? I'm guessing you don't otherwise you wouldn't have posted that ignorant comment. Have fun with heart disease meat eater!

Better to enjoy a shorter life than live longer as a vegan.

[Kithelle]

You can have that as a vegan too! You may need to take vitamin supplements though.

Except if you take to many vitamins in the end you're just taking a recipe for expensive urine? Plus seems to be more and more studies coming out that to many vitamins or multi-vitamins can be bad for your health it seems.

So potentially wreck my health for animals that will still be eaten or eat what I like? Seems like a no-brainer to me...

Just wanted to say that I know where you got that lewd pic of Whitemane

[Pundit]

Because as an omnivore I'm going to enjoy all the fruits of the world that it has to offer.

Our ability to efficiently produce meat will improve to the point where genetic engineering and inhumane treatment will be a thing of the past. We'll be able to grow and culture meat without ever having to feed and cull an actual animal. Would I eat a 3D printed burger? You bet your ass I would.

It is in none of those things, unless they are not vegan or have been fortified, which is the same as a supplement.

[Zakaryy]

Honestly, 5 years ago. People would applaud veganism, because it was people few and far between.
Now - if you're a vegan, you might aswell just be a bully too. Not once have I spoken or met a nice vegan.

It might be true that vegans have nice tasting foods that are nutritionally good for your body etc.
But, I like the food what I eat. I don't tell anyone else what to eat? you shouldn't have to tell us. Honestly, have you ever seen Freelee. Toxic.
Also that guy who went viral recently, who ate a full pizza with real cheese and he skimmed his phone across the room. Baby who spat his dummy out.

I'll never be a vegan.

[Daedius]

There's a growing trend in the USA to adopt eating insects, or more specifically crickets.

Completely debunks everything you've said then with regards to the environment... what says you OP ?!

And why did you list Bees ? Who the hell eats bees? And FYI they don't collect honey, they collect nectar.


And last I checked, plants are living things too.

How about you adopt to eating rocks instead? No living things are harmed then.

Oh yes, but in the meanwhile...

[Revik]

Veganism the new 21st century religion. Where in this case eating meat = going to hell and not eating meat = Sainthood.

This all reminds on how this was the attitude towards sex all those years ago. Having sex = going to hell and chasity = Sainthood.

[Overlord Fordragon]

meat tastes better so I'm going to continue to eat it.

Agreed, the thread concluded here.

[lonely zergling]

Shit.. did you read the damn news about it?
http://www.focus.de/gesundheit/video...d_5673985.html

I might as well die then... or keep taking the gamble.

I know that its somewhat risky but it worked for so long why should I stop now ? Sushi can give you bad things too, sometimes you have to take a slight risk for things you like imho. Not something you should eat everyday obviously.

[Yakshamash]

I prefer vegetables in summer. Didn't eat meat for like 3-4 days. To be a vegan, nope, not yet retarded completely.

But the animal industry is putting a heavy toll on our environment. They really do contribute to the green house effect by a lot!

Quick question to this, are you and every other vegan going to go out and slaughter every food animal that exists? Considering there are 56 billion feed animals in the world, and the average mammal species in the wild has between 50,000 - 2 million members at most, that means you're going to have to cull 998 million cows, 998 million pigs, 998 million sheep, along with 15 billion chickens to bring that number down to 4 billion which is still a lot of wild chicken and at least 46 million turkey in America alone.

Are vegans willing to cull those populations down to reasonable levels to bring them more in line with others species in the wild? Are they somehow going to train those animals to adapt to now being feral again? Frankly, the answer is no, so the point is moot. The effect animals are going to have on the environment are going to remain the same, in fact they would increase as now you have to have that much more farmland to support every human on a plant based diet.

Veganism is a farce, and the only reason it can even happen is thanks to the advances in society brought on by omnivores. Without omnivores, vegans would die off pretty fast because the simple truth is, you 100% can not get everything you need to live on a vegan diet. You need supplements to survive, which again will do nothing but contribute to increased greenhouse gases due to all the farms needed for the supplements alone. B12, Protein, Calcium, Vitamin D, Iron, Omega-3; those are just a few that aren't met on a vegan diet. Personally, I'd rather eat a piece of fish, chicken, or beef two or three times a week and actually get those instead of increasing green house emissions and having to pop a handful of pills every day just to get those required nutrients.

I prefer vegetables in summer. Didn't eat meat for like 3-4 days. To be a vegan, nope, not yet retarded completely.

That's kind of how my diet has been lately too. I'm eating less and less meat, especially when the weather is hotter. Overall though, nothing is going to stop me from a nice burger or slab of ribs if the mood strikes me.

Because as a human I am not meant to be a herbivore.

But I assume that doesn't fit your high self esteem.
Seriously, what would you do if everyone actually turned vegan? Who would you look down upon? Would you start eating meat again just so you can shame the others?
