Reasons to go vegan:
1. Animals have to live in a little cage for their whole life.
2. Millions of baby roosters are thrown in the grinder because they're useless.
3. Calves are taken away from their mum and slaughtered, so you can take the cows milk for yourself, this happens one time a year for each cow, to make sure they don't stop giving milk (they need to have calves to give milk)
4. As you can see on the image, meat industry causes global warming.
5. Because meat industry wastes so much farming grounds, veganism can stop world hunger.
6. The seas are almost empty because of overfishing, 90% of the catch is bycatch (also whales, sharks and turtles that are almost extinct) and the nettings destroy the coral reefs, that are needed for life on this earth.
7. There are kinds of food that give, almost just as much proteins ad meat does and proteins are the only thing meat gives you, if you don't believe me, look at oxes or gorillas, they're vegan and healthy, scientists also say meat causes cancer.
8. It's just wrong to let animals suffer just because you're afraid to try vegan.
If you still have a reason to not go vegan, say so.
If you don't, you should go vegan right now![spoiler]*hugs monkey*[/spoiler]

You will die if you go vegan without supplements

PETA is a bunch of retarded sociopaths that have sex with animals to make human/animal hybrids. You're also a giant pussy that needs to get the sand out of your vagina if you're a vegan. [spoiler]case and point[/spoiler]

Only the weak eat vegetables. #Biblequotesoutofcontext

I was going to do a reasons to not be vegan post but then seen previous posts of it and thought some other time.
-
Reasons why not to be vegan:
-
Just because vegetables don't scream doesn't mean they don't feel pain.
-
The United Nations is just as useful as the 3DO Console.
-
It's called the food chain buddy. That's the way it goes. The switch where all people go completely vegan will never happen. Plus a vegan normally isn't a very strong person they may be healthy but very tiny. I wouldn't want my child to be like that nor would I want him TL be obese.
-
Wouldn't vegetarian cover all of that and still let you eat good food?

Edited by angry0lbgrampa: 9/21/2014 1:49:46 PM[quote]TLDR; There is no medically good reason to go vegan. Why do i say this you may ask? Well I have an associates in health fitness and applied science. This requires a great degree of knowledge on nutrition and the workings of the body. The vegan diet is just a way for self righteous animal rights folks to make you feel bad. Also, vegan leaves you unablanced ( diet ) and weakens your immune system. The body requires meat as a source of protein. Vegetables can only give so much. For greater detail readon.[/quote] [b] Why animal meat is so important.[/b] Animal protein contains all the essential amino acids in the right ratios. It is important for muscle mass and bone health, to name a few. Vegans don’t get any animal protein, which can have negative effects on body composition . Creatine helps form an energy reservoir in cells. Studies show that vegetarians are deficient in creatine, which has harmful effects on muscle and brain function. Carnosine is protective against various degenerative processes in the body and may protect against aging. It is found only in animal foods. Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is the most active form of Omega-3 fatty acids in the body and primarily found in animal foods. The plant form of Omega-3s, ALA, is inefficiently converted to DHA in the body. [b]Other reasons[/b] The greatest flaw in the vegan diet is the massive lack in B12 from non-consumption of meet. In fact, B12 deficiency is very common in vegans, one study showing that a whopping 92% of vegans are deficient in this critical nutrient. There is also no clinical or scientific evidence that shows the vegan lifestyle as being in any way superior to any other. In fact the horrible diet known as the atkins diet is considered healthier. The majority of vegan promoters use fear mongering and flat out lies to spread there practice. I decided this was more than enough to discredit vegans.

Hey, here's what's in meat that you need! http://authoritynutrition.com/5-brain-nutrients-in-meat-fish-eggs So really, being vegan is ok with me, but really, your killing yourself.
-
My reasons to not be a vegan: 1. Meat tastes good 2. Humans naturally eat meat 3. Humans are killing the earth and there's nothing we can do to stop it. Might as well enjoy ourselves.

Edited by DukeOfStuffing: 9/21/2014 9:50:53 AM"Reasons to go vegan." Easing your sensible guilt about the slaughter of innocent animals. Being particularly bothered by death, the idea of being raised for slaughter makes me nauseous. http://www.pcrm.org/health/cancer-resources/diet-cancer/facts/meat-consumption-and-cancer-risk ^ Also, meat is linked to cancer. So. Go vegan to not get cancer.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahajahahahahahahaha..... [b][u]NO[/u][/b] Vegans are idiots.

You cannot make a naturally omnivorous species turn herbivore. I am a body builder. Meat is necessary to my diet and I will never give it up. I am also extremely skeptical of all those wild and preposterous claims that veganism is the answer to all our problems.
-
You say that livestock takes up space. Doesn't rows and rows of crops do the same if not even more?
-
Reason to go Vegan: 1. Vegan powers
-
This man is a part of PETA!
-
Cows would go extinct of we didn't farm them, so I say do your conservation of species and eat a burger!
-
Going vegan reduces the chance of you accidentally being served human meat
