I recently learned about the animal industry and became Vegan about 6 months ago. Its horrific to learn about it. Also after you learn you somehow live in denial a bit until you make your mind up. But its sick and I feel cheated that I was lied to my whole life about where food comes from and how animals are treated. Then to connect to their suffering also takes time to adapt because of all this cognitive dissonance we have to live though.
so how many vegans are on here?

Hi UK long time no hear. Sorry I am a carnivore, a caring one. Who lied to you? It is reassuring for us all to note that we enjoy the luxury, through our comparative wealth, of choice in our dietary needs. On a less pleasant thought, I bet there were no Vegans in Belsen.

What does that mean ?
I did read somewhere that vegans have to take chemical supplements to enhance their inadequate diets
A friend of mine went vegan a few months ago and is driving me mad with the constant posting on facebook of the horrors of how not being vegan are. I don't want to be a vegan but if you do then fine, but keep it to yourself!
We evolved as carnivores I think.
I thought it must be a smartarse phrase
hellywelly, the evidence is that we evolved as omnivores. I do know some vegans who are very healthy on a vegan diet without using artificial supplementation. It gets more difficult if you have food allergies or sensitivities or even simply dislike certain foods. Personally I am an omnivore.
I like everything from a plant leaf to the flesh of a dead animal.
My sister in law is a vegan and I don't know anyone who looks more unhealthy to be honest.
I am a non-broccoli-and-numerous-other-thingsivore, so I don't mind in the least if others choose to restrict their diets too. I'm a meat-eater, though.
I could never be a vegan, it's not natural!! I need meat with almost every meal.
I know a vegan and she is the picture of health.
I'm just about to sit down to a lovely pork roast:-)
As a country lass I know where my food comes from thank you.

Have you thought about how the vegetables suffer? Being grown in greenhouses and forced out of season?

Check this. Keep it to myself lol? I was simply asking a question.

The strongest animals on the planet are vegan. all these things that are stated about lack of nutrition is unsubstantiated rubbish really. They know more about the universe than they do about nutrition lol..

I would like to see a 10 year old kid kill a chicken or what ever and rip the raw flesh from it eating it.

Just because cooked decomposing corpse tastes nice doesnt mean we are supposed to eat it lol :)

I am a plant murderer I kill them ruthlessly. LOL run potatoes I am coming to cut your throat haha

Oh wait they cant run or be scared
I have mixed feelings about a vegan diet... anyone who is vegan because of animal cruelty reasons, yes I can completely understand. But anyone who says it's 'natural'... well that's just not true. It's 'natural' for humans to eat meat. We evolved as omnivores and needed the high protein from meat to evolve the brains that we have - put simply of course. Therefore a vegan would be advised to take dietary supplements as our bodies are simply not adapted to a vegan lifestyle. (If you haven't guessed from my avatar name, I'm an anthropolgist - so human evolution is my area of expertise)
if that frugivore is a monkey or an ape, they are known meat eaters.
Maybe you should see a nutritionist. Sure, we eat far too much meat as a nation but we do need it for a balanced diet, as well as milk/eggs/cheese etc...
