But could you kill the animal yourself without any tools? Would you die if you couldn't eat meat and other animal products, when other food is available? Is taste worth more than an animal's life? If your answer to these questions is "no", then why eat animal products? We don't need to eat these, they're terrible for us and there are so many cruelty-free alternatives these days. Please consider watching "Earthlings", "Forks over knives" and "Cowspiracy". Thanks.

Hmmm, well, I'd just like to say that I have read articles by people who've been living entirely on plant-based foods for over 30 years and are very healthy and that I've lived entirely off of plants for almost a year and I'm still alive and well. All plant-based foods, such as beans and pulses, contain the 9 essential amino acids (protein calcium etc) and vitamins, so if you ate them in abundance, you'd have no problem. You'd only need to supplement B12 and iodine because the body needs these in a concentrated form, although plants also contain these. If you're not into healthy food, today, there are many vegan alternatives to popular foods, such as vegan pizzas, burgers, bacon, cheese, cookies, and cakes, to name just a few, so you really wouldn't have to feel like you're just munching on carrots. These foods are delicious, cruelty-free and some are even a little bit healthy. Getting away from food though, would you be able to just watch me kill an innocent pig, cow or chicken in front of you? Would you be able to just throw a baby chick into a grinder alive? Take a calf from his or her mother? Cut notches into a screaming piglet's ear and cut his or her teeth out? Could you honestly look into the eyes of a sentient being and kill them with a knife, a gun or on a machine? No? Well, why pay for someone else to do it to do it in a slaughterhouse, then? Sentient beings go through this torture just so humans can eat them, which is not good for us and even worse for them. Through telling the truth and giving alternatives, vegans are not trying to force their beliefs on anyone but we want to simply challenge things and reveal truths in order to create a fairer world, which is happening right now with the rise in popularity of this lifestyle. Hope this explains things.

Well, gorillas, along with a lot of the strongest animals in the animal kingdom, are almost completely vegan, and we evolved from gorillas, so...

Ok, apes then. They're the same family. Humans didn't evolve from apes? Darwin may say otherwise... If you need proof: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.livescience.com/474-controversy-evolution-works.html

Darwin made his theory up. He did nothing scientific. He just looked at similar looking animals and made his theory up. The most important aspect of Darwin’s theory is that he was sent to explore for Queen Victoria. He specifically crafted a fairy tale for her that concluded animals evolve. Humans look something like gorillas, so we evolved from gorillas. White people look less like gorillas than brown and black people. So that means white people are more evolved. The ultimate conclusion was that the Queen was the most evolved creature on earth and all others were less evolved and inferior. That theory, which has been contradicted by science over and over, was the foundation of all modern racism. The theory is a fairy tale created to please the Queen. It has never been science. The only thing that every made it “science” is that it became part of school science curriculum and was added to textbooks. Even though it was always known as 100% completely made up without any scientific value.

Ok maybe Darwin wasn't right but numerous studies but this one shows that we are not natural meat-eaters: https://www.vivahealth.org.uk/healthfeatures/what-our-natural-diet-are-humans-evolutionarily-adapted-eat-animals-plants-or-both

I can’t believe I just read that. Actually, modern “science” and “medicine” are wrong about human diet. As soon as the recommendation went high carb, low fat all the problems began. Cholesterol is especially much, much better for people than people believe. Yes we produce it from other foods. But when we consume it, it is what we need to maintain proper hormone levels. Our sex hormones have been declining every year since we went lo cholesterol. However, there was never any real evidence that cholesterol was ever bad for human beings. Because it’s not. Humans are very adaptable. We can live off of a lot of things. But we did not evolve to become animals that can only gain proper nutrition from eating cooked meats. Because evolution cannot happen that way. We were specifically designed to eat cooked meats. And no one knows why. But humans are definitely naturally cooked meat eating animals. That’s why our moutsphs can withstand so much heat.

why do you want to force your vegan crap on people.

Just kidding! Upvoted:)

You can get vegan beer, you know. Non-vegan beer is filtered through fish bladders. Did you really upvote? Cheers if you did. ????

Gave you some upvotes! Interesting about the fish bladders never heard that before!

Cheers! ???? Yeah, I didn't know this before going vegan but it's called "Eisenglas". It's, unfortunately, also used for some wines, for some fizzy drinks (sodas) and for some fruit juices. Omega 3s in juices can also often come from fish. Sorry to say this but hope this helps. ???? Cheers again for the upvotes!

I don't need to. The grocery store has plenty of meat.

Mmmmmmmeat!
