The definition of veganism is, a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. It's not about pursuing some i

It seems to me, you deny objective ethics when it conveniently justifies your behavior. Only a very sad and miserable person must beg for an explanation as to why inflicting suffering is wrong. Perhaps you are yourself trapped in a cycle of

You've explained the inherent problem I believe to be facing humanity today - apathy and lack of empathy. We can't accept violence if we want to live in a free and peaceful society. All oppression has to eventually fall by the way

There are victims which suffer as a consequence of your actions. I think that makes it clear the behavior is unethical. If "I want to" were all the justification needed, the world would be an even more terrible place to live. We w

If you want to be hyperbolic, then yes - if the whole world went vegan today, hundreds of billions of animals would be without "purpose". However, the reality is, we breed these animals into captivity, and as less demand for the

This might come as a big shock, but grass-fed farming operations are in fact less sustainable and worse for the environment than even factory farming. I really recommend you check out the documentary Cowspiracy (it's available on NetFl

Non-human animal activities should not provide a logical or moral foundation for our behavior and it is illogical to claim that we should eat the same diet they do, especially as most of them are obligatory carnivores killing for survival,

Beriberi is a nutritional deficit in vitamin B1, not protein, which is ironically easily remedied with potatoes.

So you mean to say the mass production of corn and soy as animal feed is not an example of crop monoculture? Also, how do vegans "kill wild animals" - and are you so sure they do so in numbers of over 150 billion per year, as does

Check out videos about fish oil supplements on http://nutritionfacts.org . I took them for a while, but have since realized algae oil is a much safer source of EPA-DHA. Even krill oil would be an improvement.

Oh, come on - you don't really think so, do you? How many people do you know with diabetes as a result of eating potatoes or mangoes? Check out Starch Solution by John McDougall, if you're being serious. Here's a small tidbit

Deficient means there are lower levels of certain amino acids, but they're not missing entirely. It wouldn't make any biological sense for plants to be missing amino acids. If you read the actual cited source, you will find this:

As I had explained in the parent comment, all food has protein, so it's not necessary to specially source it from a particular food. Especially when that food appears extremely unpalatable (or am I the only one who doesn't salivat
