The natural cycle of animals eating plants, getting eaten by predators and then said animals dies to fertilize the earth and nourish the plants is already suffering enough, one of the primary industry polluting the world massively is the palm oil industry and vegans only are adding to it in a way, not everyone can be vegan, because that would be a bad idea on the long run. Just like meat industry has it's faults too.

I'm not a vegan but I make sure to watch out for palm oils in the stuff I buy. That and soy.
I mean, it's not just vegan food that is contributing there; so many things have palm oil in it (and soy), it's kind of ridiculous.

Thought about it, but instead I just consider meat and animal products (besides milk) a luxury product. I rarely purchase them and when I do I look for organic. I suppose that puts me a bit closer to vegetarians than vegans, but that's not to say I never considered committing more to it.

Vegans say "Torture is barbaric."

At the very least those who can should get the grass fed, pasture raised stuff. It helps to minimize damage. You don't have to totally change diets to help out.

I doubt this dude can last more than 3 days eating vegan. God bless his poor soul when he starts gorging on meat pastries and such till it comes out pouring from his cavities.

I have absolutely no idea why, but "Let the meat cake" feels very Hemingway.

Perhaps I have had too much fizzy pop tonight.

oh, but you haven't had nearly enough of that delightful fizzy pop! Not yet, anyway. It's even far worse than simply Hemmingway.

I made "Blood Bread" for a vegan friend once. I didn't tell him it was anything more than dark whole wheat. He still thinks it is the best bread he ever had. He eventually gave up on the "vegan lifestyle" when his doctor told him it was basically killing him. Now his favorite bread IS blood bread.

I also remember a story from my friend that worked at a Subway sandwich shop about a woman that came in all the time and always ordered a veggie sandwich with mayonnaise. After nearly a year of her ordering the same thing, he overheard her mentioning that she is a "proud vegan"... So when she ordered the sandwich that day he let her know that mayonnaise was an "EGG" product, she freaked out and thought he was joking until he showed her the ingredients on the bottle. Said she went more pale than she already normally was. He then asked if she still wanted mayonnaise, and she waited a few seconds before saying very quietly "yes please". Afterward she started ordering turkey subs and chicken sandwiches and he noticed she started looking less pale and more healthy.

I remember my Mom mentionning a Portuguese meal which was essentially rice with chicken blood on it as a sauce.

Vegan is just another type of diet. Everything else is overrated. People think that going vegan is some sort of a big thing. It is not. You change your diet, that is all.

Change your diet only when your current diet brings in negative result. If it's working fine and you change it, you only risk getting unnecessary problems.

If vegans guilt trap you, calling you cruel and killing animals - They just want more people to support their interest, they don't really care about your possible health issues. It is the opposite - more animals eat meat than humans. You get to enjoy life today because the strong hunters protected you from their teeth. Without humans, the weaker animals will be eaten by other stronger animals. It is a cycle of nature.

And what are we ? suddenly a big person who must change the world? to protect all animals? to save the environment? to donate money and help poor countries? It has been decades - and I dare say this - give me a break. The problem is the result of greedy cooperation and money hungry people. We don't have to shoulder this burden. If we really want to see change, then we should change all our current leaders. Why pay them if we have to solve their problems?
