Ill take a stab and answer them + put in my own info ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ABOUT MEAT OR MEAT INDUSTRY WILL BE REFEREED TO SUPERMARKET PRODUCES, NOT LOCALLY GROWN, NOT FROM AMISH FARMERS ONLY FROM YOUR GROCERY STORE OR SUPERMARKET.
1. I am a vegan because vegetarian is half assing it if you're doing it for the animals and also for health reasons as cheese and milk are HIGH in calories , eggs are high in cholesterol (the supermarket version), and fish feel pain
2. I recently became vegan, with no in between my doctor took tests before and after I am beyond healthier then I was and I always ate the right food as a omnivore I was never an unhealthy eater, but everyone of my tests proved a better decline or incline of anything in my body so I would say its more healthy then a omnivore diet, any doctor would tell you it is, a plant based diet is the way to go if you want to be healthier there are plenty of studies on this, There is a lack of misinformed information that Vegans do not get enough protien,calicum, ect because we are fed by the industry to believe we NEED meat and its the ONLY way to get protiens , and that dairy is the ONLY source of calcium. The average meat eaters cholesterol is 210 and the average vegans is 133. We are 40% less likely to have cancer.
3. My main diet will be fruit for breakfast (this is what i ate on a omnivoire diet though) and black coffee & a cup of water, I'll have an apple for a snack generally at work or carrot sticks & water, during the day with a handful of almonds or brazil nuts, then lunch is generally something quick if im at work, so a salad, i packed which includes hemp hearts or chia seeds and ill have a meat substitution generally like a gardinas chipoltle lime fingers or something & water, ill come home, prepare/ make dinner and if i didnt walk to or back from work ill work out right before,I will do whatever I am in the mood food though, red lentil soup, or , wraps, or, tofu and veggies, the ideas are endless, sometimes I'll have an evening snack , weather it be cookies, or a piece of chocolate, or hummas and veggies I can assure you I dont lack in any protein,iron or calcium or any other nutrient during the day
4. I feel FAN FUCKING TASTIC! thanks for asking, while I realize this isnt a lifestyle for everyone, I have yet to slip up and eat meat or cheese and I feel great which is why I know its the right choice FOR ME. I feel good on the inside,
5. I'd say infact its cheaper, or just breaking even to what I spent before. The fruits and veg are cheap enough its the seeds that tend to be pricey. Almond/soy/rice milk is cheaper, earth balance(vegan butter) is about the same as real butter its when you get into the prepacked, RAW VEGAN CHOCOLATE BITES, or VEGAN THIS PREPACKED SHIT thats when they jack the prices up
6. I grow my own herbs and vegg during summer, buy from farmers market, or amish near my city. Anything seeds wise, or specific I want I will go to a health food store, bulk barn ect
I wont respond to any asshole remarks about my lifestyle, people wanna bash vegans and thats fine but I wont respond, if anyone wants to have a legitimate conversation I will be happy to have one.
Do i think eating animals is wrong? for me yes. for everyone else, yes but only if its through factory farming. because lets face it , that steak you bought at your grocery store is FILLED with hormones and other things that are causing your early death. It's not real meat.
