just because 'we are meant to drink out mothers milk' doesn't mean being a vegan is better for you. cows milk is still good for you (calcium etc)

Being a vegan isn't unhealthy, just like being vegetarian isn't unhealthy, read a long paged website giving evidence that our bodies are designed more for a vegetarian diet, heck 45% of india is vegetarian.

I wish people would stop believeing everything people say.. "meat gives tons of protein" for one, yes it gives a fair bit of protein (not much more than vegetables but still..) but you also have saturated fats, increased cholesterol yada yada..

Eat meat if you want too, you can live a healthy life if you eat a BALANCED diet, but don't dismiss the idea of vegetarianism/veganism as soon as you see the name :)

i'm vegan, but because i don't like meat or eggs & stuff. not because all of this animal cruelty rubbish.
& peta is a load of crap, they kill over 90% of the animals they take in most months, their videos are staged and their workers corrupt.

We've had this discussion and I proved to you that meat, the fattiest being beef, isn't actually fatty or high in saturated fats "/ It's something like 14% of your daily intake, which is a 3oz piece of steak which is alot, but little fat.

I don't think it's unhealthy but I think there's some things you need from animals & from dairy products. Like really.

I think being vegan is just being picky really. Just eat what is infront of you, and stop asking what is in it, unless you dislike it (tastes yucky in your opinion) or you are allergic are the exceptions, but doing it for the sake of being annoying is, well, annoying "/ Having butter, milk, eggs is not going to kill you unless you , yourself, intentionally kill yourself with it, or do harm with yourself. Although drowning yourself in milk and egg would be considered a mental problem.

Just randomly, I find it funny when people at McDonalds order a `hamburger without the ham`.. Kynda defies the purpose imo.
