Then think how many days it has been going on for. There is no comparison. Literally billions of land animals are slaughtered every year and trillions of sea creatures. The quantity is obviously different but let's not act like people haven't ever suffered like animals have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they are likely to to put animal welfare top of their priorities. Of course. Indigenous tribes who hunt animals for example. They are doing it for survival and because they know no different. They can't go into a supermarket and buy meat alternatives. Veganism isn't perfect it's about doing the best you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's delicious, and definitely not vegan. Same. At home we usually have a veggie day once or twice each week. Grown up with having Thursdays and/or Saturdays where it's veggie food.

There will be other jobs producing vegan food. If something is considered morally wrong by a huge majority giving people jobs won't come into it.

They really haven't. Watch those videos I posted and name one group who have ever had that done to them. Basically, how would you feel if before you was even born the date of your death had been decided.

I’m just hungry. I Went pescatarian for a bit to see how I’d go health wise. I felt really good. Where I live though, there are very few options. I’ve got a few vegetarian cookbooks but not getting fresh ingredients out here in the regional communities makes it a little less appealing.

I ate fish, eggs and dairy for about three weeks before going vegan. It can definitely be quite daunting at first and I think a lot of vegans can forget that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Kel Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Super Chrissy Smalling is on Football ocus now talking veganism with Jrmaine Jenas who is trying veganism out. Also, anyone who wants to try veganism can do the Vegan22 challenge which offers free nutritional and dietary advice and a mentor to help people adopt a vegan lifestyle. Apparently it takes 21 days to break a habit so the challenge is to maintain it for 22 days and hopefully make it a life commitment. https://challenge22.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
