Being Vegan whats it mean to you?
To me being Vegan in diet is the best diet that God has given me!!!! it
is easy and full of variety, it is an easy way to stay healthy, and it makes you think and learn about nutrition!!! What about you? |

You used the word "easy" twice. I don't think it's easy at all because most of the social infrastructure and mindset is geared for carnivores. We v*gans constantly have to deal with it. For me, being vegetarian and buying organic is a more responsible way of life. It's better for me, better for animals, and better for the environment. |

I just turned Vegan about two months ago after years of small steps in that
direction. Now when I walk through the supermarket I am amazed to see how much food has meat, cheese or egg in it. Even some simple things that I think might have a no cheese variety, no luck. Lots of things come in Beef and Cheese, Chicken and Cheese, or Cheese. Man... can't they make something with just veggies in it. I think about 99% of the food in the supermarket has some kind of meat in it. It's totally amazing to me. I want to shout sometimes at people who package food. I DON'T WANT TO EAT MEAT!!! AND I DON'T WANT ANY CHEESE EITHER!!!!!!! |

I think being vegan is pretty easy. But then again I was born into a
vegetarian lifestyle and giving up milk, cheese, and eggs wasn't difficult for me. Being vegan, to me, means leaving less of an impact on the environment and not contributing to cruelty towards animals. It doesn't really seem to help -me-, but I bet if I ate meat I'd feel worse, so I'm not complaining. |

How do you figure that a vegan diet automatically means less impact on animals or the environment than any other?

The argument makes no sense.... You're implying vegans should bite the
bullet and eat meat, and with remorse upon munching flesh take consolation knowing they are reducing 'enviromental damage'. That's like suggesting nuns in Japan should make babies to reverse the declining population trend. You must think you are talking to half-wits to suggest vegans and vegetarians aren't at the forefront of global enviromental issues or at the very least quite aware of similar impending catastrophes looming on the horizon, more than mindless, pompous, meat-chomping neanderthals!....and this being directed more at buffoons who upon hearing someone is a non-meat eater, misguidingly blurt out in a way insinuating mock high-IQ, "But you NEEEED meat, how can you get your nutrition!!![duuuh]" On Tue, 04 Oct 2005 00:35:57 GMT, "rick" > wrote: > >"Astrid" > wrote in message roups.com... >======================== >Really?

.... and after all that you didn't deny the neanderthal part. Sorry,
not interested in a flame war. Noone who's against needlesly killing animals for 'tasty' food consumption [ definately not because "You neeeed meat for nutrition" nonsense] is going to eat meat based on your so-called logic as to why they should.

One thing you should consider. Many non-meat eatering vegetarians and
vegans were once meat eaters. Fortunately those of us who converted didn't have the same arrogance as you 'hard-core' meat consumers. I've nothing against typical meat-eaters- it's their choice, and I do make headway with acquaintances into reducing their meat consumption and opting for healthy diet choices. My 'beef' is with you and others like you who get defensive and insecure, and lash out at others making more sane and cruel-free diet choices. If you read more into this newsgroup with its vast numbers of related topics covered in minute detail, you'll find extensive literature on both sides of the coin from which readers here obtain a 'not- 1 sided' picture, which you are implying. The queries of yours that I don't answer can be found in this NG easily. It's redundant arguing the same points once a week/month. Anyway, relax and munch on a veggie dessert, find some harmony in your life. On Thu, 06 Oct 2005 03:02:01 GMT, "rick" > wrote: > >"Joe" > wrote in message .. . >> The argument makes no sense....

They know they have no real argument to back up their claim, like you just made that being vegan automatically means cruelty-free. You reallt should try to get over your willful ignorance and insecurity. Lying about your diet is all you have, eh hypocrite? Be the first, fool. Show how being vegan automatically means cruelty-free diets. On top of that idiot, veganism is NOT a diet.

"Joe" > wrote in message ... > ... and after all that you didn't deny the neanderthal part. =========================== Why? You've continued to prove that you have no problem contributing to the killing of massive numbers of animals for nothing more than your selfish entertainment, why should I worry about eating animals instead of just leaving them to rot, like you do. Sorry, > not interested in a flame war. Noone who's against needlesly > killing > animals for 'tasty' food consumption =================================== You're just FOR the needless killing of animals for your selfish entertainment I see, eh hypocrite? [ definately not because "You > neeeed meat for nutrition" nonsense] ============================= Yes, you do. Otherwise you have to depend on the petro-chemical industry to mass-produce your sup[plements. Tell me, fool how those kill fewer animals than if you just killed and ate one cow over the course of a year or two. Care to try? Didn't think so, killer... is going to eat meat based on > your so-called logic as to why they should. ============================= My 'logic' is perfect, yours on the other hand is based on lys, delusions and propganda.

Sorry Rick, my ideal of harmony isn't like yours regarding fruitlessly
dragging out issues pounded out to death already. I suppose its all the chemicals in your 'meat,meat,more meat' diet making you behave that way so I shouldn't really blame you for acting out like that. Your not changing anyone's way of life in here, least of all reverting them to eating meat again. You have a sinister attitude-constructive input is one thing but you're a 'rain on someone else's parade' for-life-kinda guy. I suggest you start and hangout in a new newsgroup called 'alt.binaries.mindlessmeatmaniasm' - there you can be happy at least with your chums consoling each other how your numbers grow less and less each day as nutritional common sense, and dignity to fellow creatures prevail more and more, albeit a little bit at a time. Once again my apologies for not being dragged into your drawn-out obsessive 'debates' that seem to hype you up a bit too excessively, but I'd rather spend my time to read up on the vast numbers of informative, concise, and progressive material others are supplying in this newsgroup. And if after all that you don't understand, you are simply put, 'pesky' - at most. On Sat, 08 Oct 2005 20:31:56 GMT, "rick" > wrote: > >"Joe" > wrote in message .. . >> One thing you should consider.

Being Vegan means brain-dead...

What a hoot!!! By the way, "pounded out to death" is a very approiate term for the animals that die for your diet, hypocrite. I suppose its all > the chemicals in your 'meat,meat,more meat' diet making you > behave > that way so I shouldn't really blame you for acting out like > that. =========================== Again, LOL. I see that it is your diet that is affecting you, killer. Your veggies have far more chemicals in and on them than the meat I eat. Too bad you're so willfully ignorant to understnad. > Your not changing anyone's way of life in here, least of all > reverting > them to eating meat again. =============================== So what? I just tell the truth. That you refuse to believe it just makes veganism more the religion than it already is. You have a sinister attitude-constructive > input is one thing but you're a 'rain on someone else's parade' > for-life-kinda guy. ========================= ROTFLMAO You really have a hard time with comprehension, don't you fool? I've never told anybody they have to eat meat. I provide the truth about the delsuions of veganism.
