Im not really one to post in here, but I CANT handle it anymore, its got to be said: Veganism is NOT about eating right. Veganism isnt a diet, or a nutrition contest, or a disguise for eating disorders. Veganism IS a social justice liberation movement. Veganism is a way of life that seeks, as far as possible, to abstain from the use of animal products & rejects the commodity status of sentient animals. Plant-Based is NOT Veganism. Yes the base might be plants, but its topped with a fur coat. STOP allowing the two to become synonymous; & please defend Veganism when you can. Yes there are huge SIDE benefits of humans eating a herbivorous diet, like ending world hunger, massively less pollution, amazing health, etc, but that in itself is NOT veganism. To those that say its extreme to show pictures of agribusiness, etc., you are unbelievably out of touch. Media like Earthlings & undercover investigations have influenced thousands of people to wake up. Im a 20+ year vegan & have never had meat, fish, eggs, chicken, gelatin, leather shoes, etc, etc; only a little dairy when I was young. Ive seen Veganism go from bizarre to at least accepted, & in that time Ive seen hundreds of vegans return to carnism. If you are not strong enough to firmly believe that animals have the same life in their bodies as you, & that protecting that is the exact point of Veganism, then I promise you, you will eat meat again in this lifetime.
