would you ever become vegan?

[SsilverR]

I don't even mean ovo-lacto vegetarian, I'm talking PURE vegan.

Vegans consume neither the animal or the products of any animal with a face, meaning that things like milk, eggs and even honey are off the list.
Apparently, there are quite alot of health benifits that come with going full vegan and i was wondering if anyone else here would do it (I just recently decided to do it for personal reasons) or is already living the vegan lifestyle.

Do you even think humans should become (ok i REALLY don't want to use the word "Vegan" again) herbivores? since our very physiology dictates that we're omnivores and meat to some people is literally the only lifeline.

Personally i feel privileged to be in a society that gives me the option to live whatever lifestyle i want, and although i now personally believe that humans may reach a point where everyone has these options and perhaps should reduce or fully stop meat consumption, not only for overall health but also for the sake of overall ethics.

Hopefully i won't evolve into one of those "omfg u had a BURGER?!?!"**throws bucket of cows blood on mums face** ..... truly cringe worthy >.<
+ i'm not really vegan yet ... only been at it for a week.

I'd like too
but can't afford that kind of life style.
if organic products weren't so damn expensive I would though.

 

[lacktheknack]

No way. TRUE veganism goes as far as not cooking anything, and that's really hard on the digestive system.

Plus, there's all kinds of great vitamins and minerals and flavanoids and fats in animal products that are really hard to find in vegetables. You're cutting yourself off from animal protein, for example, which is much more effective at muscle-building than soy protein.

Besides, if you stop me from drinking mah milk, I will CLUB you.

I have done before for dietary reasons but I got bored of the constant vegetables with pasta sauce routine. It also didn't make me lose as much weight as I would of liked.

Only if being vegan would give me psychic powers. in that case, goodbye, cakes! So long, Milk Chocolate! I'm going to become a psychic superman that can punch holes in the moon!

Meat is delicious. Meat is tasty. Meat makes my world go round.

I will NEVER go vegan. if a Doctor told me I'd die if I ate one more strip of bacon, I'd go to the grave with grease on my chin and a smile on my face.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Hell no, meat is delicious

 

[Thamous]

No, I like meat. It's simple as that, really.
I don't have any moral quandaries about eating anything with a face because it would probably do the same to me if it was at the top of the food chain. Assuming I taste good.

 

[Random Fella]

How is being a vegan healthy? *Looks at stomach* Oh right...

But I'm seriously not sure if you can get the same health benefits from just plant material, the human digestive system is designed to take in both animal and plant material, so to be as healthy as possible i'd say you would need both IMO. But I wouldn't turn vegan even if it was more healthy, I need cheeseburger and that is two wrongs in their books.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

No.
In old times, Soldiers and travalers had to resort to nuts and stuff like that, it was apparently a good short term alternitive to Meat. But protien is something that keeps you healthy, protien found in meat, meat tastes better than protien supliments. MEAT WINS!

 

[Hawgh]

Well, by your definition, I would only have to engineer some manner of faceless aberration to eat, and I'd be home free.

But I doubt I'll manage that. Otherwise, meat-based product would need a serious price hike for me to stop eating them.

 

[Ducktard]

Nope, never.

It doesn't make sense to me, we are animals, animals eat other animals, end of story

Besides, vegetables litterally makes me gag, so.. I'd starve to death too

 

[drbarno]

No. Because if I did, I'd have to give up bacon.

I'll never give up the bacon

yeah, milk .... that's literally the hardest part man XD

but you can get alot of proteins from other plants, not just soy

 

[moretimethansense]

Sorry but going Vegan is actually pretty bad for you, the health benefits (if there are any) are probebly offset by the fact that we kind of need protiens and fats to survive, or at least stay healthy, I'm not gonna tell a vegan to "eat a fucking burger" but if your diet requires you at any point to take supplements or count out the protien level in the nuts you just ate, something is not right there.

 

[minimacker]

Nope. I'd probably see myself as a vegetarian, but never a vegan.


Edit : It's mostly because I'm quite educated in Biology, so when people throw me how unhealthy it can be, I throw them facts of how much protein meat contains, it's all about the right meat. It has near nill amounts of sugar and has a lot of essential acids.

Of course, fish has this and more, but with fish comes mercury. (Which is our fault.)

 

[New Troll]

If I was told by five well-respected doctors that I had to become a vegan or else I'd kill over next week, I would start saying my good-byes.

and anyone who isn't vegan .... will be dust by monday **serious faic**

I personally feel that there's no point in being "vegan" or "vegetarian" on the grounds that in my belief, anything that is alive has a soul, so yes even trees. I know there's so much evidence to lead against my belief, but hey in the grand scheme of things you can never truly know unless the circumstance befalls you. Things die, other's need to live, so long as life goes on after death (and there is SOOO much more evidence for this then just merely experiencing nothing at all) I'm fine, it's just something we have to accept.

NOW what would interest me is if there was a diet to say, ya kill it, ya eat it. Now I don't mean a whole blood bath thing but when you think about farming it's incredibly sadistic in many respects, if you were to think we were in that situation. I'm not anything, I'm just a regular omnivore and I do recognise we farm to make life easier for ourselves and that's just how evolution has occured, I can accept it, but just think, a diet where you had to look the bunny in the eyes and think, "I'mma gonna eat that rabbit...". Most people would call this uncivilised, but I'd call it 1) giving the animal a fair chance and 2) letting us come to terms with death. I think the problem with todays society is that it's far too censored, it happens, deal with it...

 

[PureChaos]

very little chance of me giving up meat or anything that comes from them, i enjoy them all too much to give them up
